A lovely little mod with great models, BUT ... once you have this - and you get the cars very early on - you don't need to look at anything else for a long time. They carry more variety and more of it than any other car, so it's a bit of a cheat code in a way.

I suppose nafey's universal car works but it isint very british and doesnt have the variety

must have mod, very good. in fact, too good. I have now reached a point where trains now ferry cargo between both sides, with different cargo on each end ie. plastic on one and refined oil on the other, but I am afraid I have yet to found a more modern version of this mod to support the transition to diesel, so I might have to drive a lot of wagons empty

You excellent mod has disappeared from my Save Game and I can't load my most recent game. Has the mod been removed from Steam's server?

Thank you!

quick, small update to change the crude and oil loads to be less deformed due to stretching.

I've also added a very small and very faint smoke emitter to the chimney of the brake van.

I like the wagons, but there's one thing I find rather silly with them, to the point I feel like I'm cheating in using them. All for them, including the tank wagon can take ALL types of cargo. Maybe make the types of cargo they can carry a little more realistic?

Hi, I couldn't see the brake van in the depot with this mod. Only the ones on the left are.

@Gr1m I don't want to be rude or greedy or anything, but could I make a suggestion? Could I suggest a British 14 Ton Tank Wagon? I thought it could have the same purpose as the rectangular tank wagon but carry more. I would also like to suggest a Flatbed Bogie Bolster wagon, similar to what Dourbracken suggested below. Unfortunately I cannot link pictures but if you search for "British 14 Ton tank wagon" and "British bogie bolster", the first 4 or 5 pictures should give you a good idea of what they look like. If I find a way of linking pictures I will link some. I hope you will consider my suggestions. Brilliant work on this mod!

@Dourbracken: I know the ones you're talking about - I've thought about making them actually. I remember seeing one on its own in a picture a few years back and was suuuuper confused how it worked lol.

The only issues I can see is that I'd set it up like a bogie carriage - the bolsters being a single mesh that would show the cargo when full, with the 1-plank bases acting like bogies. Except that would mean that the bolsters would still turn in corners even when they weren't loaded.

I mean I'm sure it's a minor issue noone else would really care about., and it'd be pretty easy to put one together. But still. I dunno, I'll give it some thought.

Great too see this project continue! In regards to the "Definitely open to suggestions" clause, some sort of log transporter and/or flatcar would be nice. I've seen some instances of a pair of 1 plank wagons with bolsters fitted to the top, so something like that might fill both roles. Awesome work!

@Gr1m, the problem was caused by the mod Grain in Boxcars not Gondolas v2.0.5 . Excuse for troubling.

@vitalii201: Dunno whats happened there. I've double checked the files and updated it again just to be safe. Can you let me know if its still a problem?

@mallard4468: Honestly these are already fairly balanced for midgame already due to their low weight and decent high speed. If anything they're OP for early game due to being too light and too fast (I used my mod to set speed limits to help counter that), but I didn't want to create a new and an old version so its sort of a compromise down the middle. The balancing factor comes more in terms of train length - you can get the capacity and they'll still be profitable, but you need the facilities and infrastructure to handle it, and I feel like that's a decent compromise.

Beautiful work as always! Stay safe down in Vic mate. :)

Wonderful! Great to have a liquid load unit in the set now! Would there be the possibility to have an updated version for the middle part of the game as well? Speed could stay the same, but maybe a slight increase in storage space, to allow the use of these in trains up until the 1950s? For that purpose, you could also add a few longer vans and flatbeds into the mix as well :D

Nice work! Have updated my three savegames; no problems.
