New Hoppers from TrainSimulations

Last night on the way home from work, I passed a freight train with a hundred or so covered hoppers, coming from one of the many DeLong elevators located along the Harvard Sub.

It's not often that I can recreate what I saw 18 hours ago, but the guys at TrainSimulations just made that possible.

Two sets of ACF hoppers are out today -- one for CSX and one for UP.

Each set comes with 24 ready to run hoppers, suitable for a mostly modern setting with some CSXT and UP numbered versions, but also good for the late 70's and 80s with stock numbered under B&O, C&O, CNW, DRGW, MP, SSW, SBD, L&N, and other predecessor roads.

As with all of TrainSimulation.net's "Made for ORTS" models, these have highly detailed features such as side & end ladders, grab irons, trucks & couplers.

Textures are DDS, so reskinning to expand your own fleet is very straight forward without having to worry about texture conversion utilities that may or may not always work.

Both are $9.99 and available on the Rolling Stock page at TrainSimulations.net

Feel free to see more in the ongoing discussion going on in our Open Rails Modeling Forum.
