Tank Car Addons Dekosoft

[Blick Fang]

Hi

Did a quick search of "Tank Cars" in this forum and yielded nothing. So I downloaded some nice looking tank cars from Dekosoft and I have no idea how to get them into Open Rails. I had a blast doing some switching in the Wenatchee yard. If I don't get some variety in the rolling stock, I'm going to get bored! Thanks in advance for any help

They reside in the Trainset folder which is located in the Trains folder of the MSTS, or whatever you named it, install.
You'll have to use a consist building program to put them in a train consist.
I recommend Goku's TSRE consist builder.

Have fun.

You couldn't find tank cars in the file library here? There's a whole section devoted to them...

He couldn't find them because he looked in the 'Forum' and not the library.

I don't have MSTS installed. I do have the software though.

I have what looks like two open rail folders. C:\Open Rails Train Simulator - ZZ and C:\TrainSimulations I was under the impression that you don't need MSTS installed?

the new routes from Train Simulations do not need MSTS to run. Other routes will need msts to work correctly. So you will have 2 installations of train sim. I have a folder called MSTS which is the orginal and I have another folder called Train Simulations.

If you want to add more cars to the train simulations folder then you would follow the same steps just like you would for the MSTS folder.
You should have a Trains Folder open that up and you should have consists and trainsets folders add the new cars to the trainsets.

Speaking of tank cars..does anyone have any modifications to the original Truck.ace that was commonly used on the older models? The underside axles really need updating to OR levels.
