Hi folks.
As some of you would have seen on one of the previous FBL threads, I’ve been working on a bunch of “off-brand” freight cars for the route. I hope to have them uploaded before the week is out.
There are 28 packs of various freight cars to be uploaded (Autoracks, 2 sets of Boxcars, Flatcars, Containers, 4 sets of gondolas, 6 sets of various hopper types, 5 sets of various reefers, 3 sets of various tank car types, 3 sets of TOFCs and 2 mixed sets). The models are a mix of Ted’s, Andrey’s & Jeff’s and also quite a few by SLI/TS. I have suggested in the readmes for the SLI/TS stuff (but worth repeating here) that anyone who downloads the sets might want to save themselves some time and check through all the .dds files before they go to the trouble of copying & renaming shape files etc. No matter how big a fan of FBL and/or fictional routes you are, it won’t all be for everyone for a number of reasons. While I have made up a variety of freight cars with the names of various industries/business names on the route (see below) many of the car names are purely fictional (although some of the names will be familiar to members of this forum or fans of music, books, movies etc 😉) and there’s also quite a variation in the age of some of the models, texture sizes etc that might bother some people and will require some culling depending on your own likes and dislikes.
I will also upload a 29th set that will have everything in it so anyone that has a first class/fast pass membership that wants to browse through it all can download it in one go rather having to do each one individually.
Just to repeat, not everyone is going to like all this stuff no matter how much you are enjoying FBL, but if you do download some/all of it hopefully you’ll find enough items to add some variety to your FBL consists or at least to use as some yard filler. Over the next few days I’ll make a final run through of the readmes, recheck the cars one last time and hopefully catch any errors I’ve missed previously before I start uploading.
Companies/Industry names in the route I've made freight cars for:
DUNKTOWN: North American Plywood, Arnold & Fleischman, Diamond Chemical Co, H&B Oil, Continental Oil.
MOUNT OLIVER: Copperplate & Co, Ag Co-Op, Sunkist Citrus, Stratus Petroleum.
YONDER: Big River Grain Co, Yonder Loco Works.
FORT FAIRFAX: Holcim Cement, Monarch Cement, Black & Sons.
OLYMPIA: Sunkist Citrus.
LAKE HURST: Allied Growers.
NEWTON: Newton Oil Co.
