Generic British Freight Wagons v4 - 1840-1910

Description
Generic Freight Wagons V4
1840-1910

Okay. So. This mod has been like pulling teeth. For some reason it's been time consuming and difficult and exhausting to get to this point, and I'm not even sure why exactly. Each vehicle is fairly complicated, but I've tackled complicated before. But for whatever reason, this mod burned me out multiple times, so even getting to this point of completion is an accomplishment in itself.

With that in mind, don't expect a part 2 anytime soon. I would like to, some day? But for now I need a break because hooo boy was this excruciating.

Anyway, what you get in this pack is two generations of generic freight wagons covering all vanilla cargo loads (and at least in theory a fair few modded cargo loads, though this has been tested less extensively and is only tentatively supported). Most wagons also have custom cargo loads with multiple variants, including tarps and some empty variations with straw lining the bottom of the wagon for more visual noise.

Also included are a number of brake van variants for you to use, and both sets are fairly interchangeable, reflecting the period where wagons of this type were pretty much run until they fell apart. All wagons also come in two liveries - a generic brown and generic grey. In total there are 46 variants to choose from (and I might add more over time as well.)

Enjoy!

Features

-A total of 46 different models to choose from.
-23 variants of freight wagon and brake vans spread across 2 generations typical of the period between 1840-1910, reflective of common UK designs, liveries and aesthetics.
-2 Liveries to choose from - or mix and match!
-Full ageing support. Detailed dirt and rust maps accumulate dirt and paint thins and fades as the wagons age.
-Tint/recolour support available for both liveries.
-Neatly organised menus, organised by generation and livery.
-Small file size and .dds compressed textures, to help with load speed.
-Placeable rail assets available in new or aged versions of all models.

@Damocles. In the vehicle selection select 'ALL' not cargo. You will then find the brake vans with other wagons.

I have made the unfortunate discovery that Goods from the "Demand Overhaul Mod" do not have assets when loaded into these wagons - even in cases where default assets are used.

I'm missing the option to select the brake vans on my consist?

I've just started using the hopper wagons for carrying coal, I was surprised to see that some of the loaded wagons had tarps! The should not be any tarps on hopper wagons that only carry minerals (or vans that are covered anyway). Could you please, either remove the tarps from the hoppers, or create a tarp free version as you have already done with the vans. Sorry to be pain, these wagons are are really good!

@Norfolk_Chris you could always use Freestyle Industries to put a small invisible industry demanding coal at the station in the town - I do this sometimes to make my coal bunker assets look nice and busy without me bleeding money

Would it be possible to create a version of the open wagons that will carry any cargo but will always show its load as coal? This is necessary to create realistic freight trains as towns in TP2 do not demand coal. Most British mixed freight trains throughout the steam era always had some coal wagons.

@Blue Bob-Omb: It would be 1910-1950ish. So mainly grouping era style stock, larger hoppers, inside frame bogie vans etc.
