📋 About This Mod

Adds 5 F30 Flatcars to the game. 3 normal versions and 2 military versions. Normal F30, F30 with stake sides, and F30D. As military version of the F30 and F30D.

The Pennsy's Pitcairn Shops built 1,500 F30A cast steel frame flat cars in 1933-34. The cast frames were provided by General Steel Castings Corporation (GSC)

The F30D were built in 1951 and were of a cast steel underframe design. There were 250 cars in the class, of which 115 were converted for TOFC service, later known as TrucTrain, in 1954. The TOFC cars featured perforated side rails (reportedly created from worn rail), four side retaining stakes, and hinged sprung bridge plates on opposite corners of the car.

I originally made this car back in 2008ish for TRS2006 and never finished them. I have Improved the model and the textures for the car to better suite Derail Valley.

These cars take all none container cargo. I couldn't figure out the models and textures for the containers so I just skipped it for now. Later down the road I'll probably try and figure that out. My biggest problem is figuring out which textures go to which type of containers.

Note if you would like to re-skin any of my content and I haven't made a reskin kit for the car you want to skin yet. Please feel free to contact me and I'll whip up a PSD for you to start your skin. Or bump making a reskin kit up higher on my to-do list.
