Description
If you've been playing like I have and noticed the serious lack of decent gondolas, well I have good news for you, we have some early 1940s gondolas here for you!

Like my pulpwoods, they're modeled after some childhood toys that went around the christmas tree. They're generic enough though that you can slap whatever skin you want on there and say, yeah thats accurate. Even Amtrak.

In the 1940s many railroads were switching to heavier duty gondolas and switching to steel. The game displays this as jumping from a wooden gondola straight out of a country western to a modern, highside like gondola. This bothered me a great deal. So here we are, with a new set.

hello! Just wanted to make you aware that this mod is causing my game to crash.

it states it as a 'configuration error' and reads the following error:

railVehicle/configs/axles: mesh 'Vehicle/train_40ft_gondola/lod_0_w1.002_lod0.msh' does not exist railVehicle/configs/axles: mesh 'Vehicle/train_40ft_gondola/lod_0_w1.002_lod1.msh' does not exist

let me know if there is anything i can do, and i should, hopefully, get back to you!
im only in 1911 on this save, so you would maybe think i would get this error on the release date, but nonetheless was looking forward to include it into my trains soon enough!

+1 the VGN trucks are broken

VGN and UP skins have broken bogies/trucks.

Updated, now requires CiscoKidd's Bettendorf trucks. Also added an option in the assets for a randomized skin. And increased the metal-glossiness of the SOU cars.
