Description
The largest, most complete set of modern, American freight cars on the workshop!

A complete ground-up remake of my original American Freight Train cars and props, this pack features 75 unique train cars in both vehicle and prop formats. From boxcars to tankers, gondolas to autoracks, and covered hoppers to - well, more covered hoppers, this flexible car pack will cover you for almost everything that can travel by rail!

What's included?
6 autorack cars
8 boxcars (4 standard height, 4 high-cube)
4 refrigerator cars
8 bulkhead flatcars (4 loaded, 4 empty)
8 centerbeam flatcars (4 loaded, 4 empty)
8 coalporter gondolas (4 loaded, 4 empty)
10 gondolas (5 loaded, 5 empty)
16 covered hoppers (8 curved side, 8 ribbed side)
4 tank cars
3 ore hoppers

What's not included?
Locomotives! Look for my locomotives packs on my Workshop page!
Intermodal equipment - that can be found in its own separate pack.

Trains - Look for the trains packs and individual vehicles on my Workshop page!

What liveries are there?
Included are the following fantasy/imaginary liveries (IRL equivalents in parentheses):
Colossal Systems (CSX)
Freightrail
Arrowhead and Western (Union Pacific)
Cedar Valley Northern (Burlington Northern/BNSF)
Gramercy Southern (Norfolk Southern)
American Midwest Railway (Kansas City Southern)
Kendrick Aubrey Railroad (Canadian Pacific/Canadian National)
EFX (TTX Leasing)
Skylines Service (Golden West Service)
TANX (GATX)
Pipecar (Procor)
Falcon Falls Lumber Company (Tobacco Valley Lumber Co.)
Flathead State Rail Service (Montana Rail Link)
Coast Range (Southern Pacific)
Springwood Lines (Santa Fe)
and more!

Why is the file so huge?
75 train cars as both vehicles and props means a lot of textures! Use the Loading Screen Mod to make these load into your game more efficiently.

How can I place the props?
Use More Beautification, Prop Line Tool, Prop and Tree Anarchy, and (I'd recommend) Find It and Move It. The props are now in the Construction Materials tab.

Why don't you do real life liveries? / Can you do *real life livery here* for me?
I just really prefer making up my own versions. It gives me some flexibility in the UV map, and also lets me have fun making up something new, something funny, something that pays tribute to a YouTube series that I like (or make), and it means that I can do a bit less research instead of having to find exact real life livieries of everything.

i dont understand. just say me if i If I disable most of these cars in the asset manager, will I have less lag? because if I play with the whole assembly I feel lags
The Loot 17 Apr @ 2:34pm 
@knight mannn That's the effect you ran into? Odd, since LSM simply ignores exact duplicates of meshes/models/textures, so it shouldn't get slower doing less of that.

@The Loot It turns out that if I turn off most of the props, the lags will only become larger? I just know loading screen mod somehow converts large packs into small ones
The Loot 4 Apr @ 8:37pm 
@knight mannn Well, less assets loaded would technically mean better performance.

If I turn off most of the props and leave 3-4 props, will I experience lag? since this is a veeeeeeeeery large collection

Hey, B, do you still plan on updating your freight trains at some point?

Some of these cars could benefit from using submeshes for the TrailerVariation Loader mod. Random Train Trailers can set empty trailers using the method, as well, but sadly it's adaptive cargo method isn't possible to use for spawning the specific empty cars you've made; only the variations method works.

I can't figure this out how do I place these? the directions hardly help.

Could you make a extra long flatcar for large cargo? (i.e. Boeing's 737 fuselage train car, flatcars used to carry other train cars, etc)
