"PUP" Trailers for MSTS/OR?

[qballbandit]

Hi,
Looking and I can't find them on my hard drive, but I thought for sure some years back, someone (Rowe? Kelly?) did a set of PUP TOFC. Would have had the obvious FED-EX/UPS, and potentially others. Am I just dreaming this up? Would love to get my hands on them if they actually exist.
I tried searching TOFC; PUP; Trailers and struck out.

Thank you!

I seem to recall some from DW, but am away from my computer at the moment and can't double check

Pretty dated, but I had some on the old Hauke Hey based cars. neps_ups.zip https://www.trainsim.com/forums/file...leid?fid=76096

They had the two 28 foot trailers as well as two 28 foot containers on chassis shapes. I never got around to making more, and TS has a set from the BNSF Seligman Sub route. TTRX 360557A (53' UPS) 360557B (2 28' UPS), 360557C (53' UPS) plus 360590A (53' UPS), 360590B (53' FedEx), 360590C (53' FedEx)

Edit: My "Pups" I am pretty sure you are referring to. Wish there was a way to swap out the trucks, wheels, and couplers, as these textures I feel still hold up well.

I found six or seven Athern Blue Boxes of these yesterday, which I know is of no help whatsovever....

the name you are thinking of is Robert Murphy. he did a PUP set on his 53'6" flatcars. and the trailers are a freight animation not part of the car model. https://www.trainsim.com/forums/file...leid?fid=80166

I did a reskin of the trailers for a set that I was working on for transition era rolling stock for the v4 of the Full Bucket Line using the NAVS 53' flatcar model.

Back at my computer and can confirm I have some from DW, which I think all come from the SP sets.

I also have some from Ted Curphey's TTX-89Flats sets. The Readme mentions TTEX Long Runners sets, as well as files RTTX_F1.ZIP and RTTX_F2.ZIP but I'm not exactly sure which file contains these specific models.

IIRC, TrainSimulations has some included with the Seligman Sub route. They had some UPS pups mounted on TTRX spine cars. They're the sharpest models out there by far.

Ted Curphey's models where really good at the time.....But now they need a good over haul to bring them up to date. I still use them from time to time

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Totally agree

If you were remembering a large set Neil, possibly these? I probably posted some screenies as from memory I was trying to find out if they'd have been ok to include in some of my other TOFC uploads (but again from memory) the level of shape file modification to make up full pup sets on the 3 spines was considered too extreme.

Yeah, it's unfortunate there was only one spine car that had the 28' pups.

Could be, Pete. UPS/FedEx/FFE are the ones I was hoping to get my hands on. You show some great PUPS in your photo.

Thanks Neil.... and it's been a lot of years since I did those and I am a bit hazy about the specifics but I think it did boil down to the amount of modification involved, not to mention trying to write the instructions for that set might have pushed me over the edge! I'm slowly redoing all my textures into 2048 and the TOFCs haven't been a priority given the amount of time I spend "north of the border" these days, but if the TS guys have any more plans for TOFC loads and wanted to include a triple spine set with all pups on it, I'd happily upgrade the textures on those and get them out.

Edit.... just from a nitpicky, reskinning point of view, if TS did have any interest in a full pup set, would it be possible to have the pup textures set up to treat the trailers individually please? From memory the textures were "mirrored" and required a bit of messing around to remove one trailer and replace it with a FA so you could have two different companies on one spine car.
