    NAVS Replacement Default Inmodal 48-Ft. Well-Car Rant

    I've had My fair of share troubles & got them worked out by The Community ). I see Finally an actual Replacement has taken place after X-Amount of years! I mean, I remember countless Coupler Fixes for The Old ones, plus Tons of People would go & Update The Cars Themselves but like non were Double Red or Red+Blue that Sort of Thing. So, it was kind of hard to do. Once more, My "Virtual Model Railroad Hat" gets tipped towards over with a big thank you.

    Erick and Pete have done a bang-up job getting drop-in replacement shapes for the original MSTS rolling stock produced.

          That's like asking what's in a paper bag in the trunk of a Ford Focus parked three miles away...

          We have no idea why it's not working unless you share some details on what you did.

              I'm glad to see these get replaced. Been needing good single well cars for awhile. I'm glad Erik also found good use of the container photos I had laying around, seems I never managed to release any of the repaints I did with them.

                I just installed, and all the DTTX cars show up.

                There is a possible error on the US2DbleHgtFrghtBl.wag --- the wagon name is showing as DTTX_456707 instead of US2DbleHgtFrghtBl.

                So if you're looking for US2DbleHgtFrghtBl -- that won't show up.

                  I misspelled Intermodal on The Topic( too bad I can't just go & change it ), but can't you just go & add The Name Line as usual to put that in? The Game'll Read it as DTTX,..but come up as The FrghtBL,...

                    Eric,

                    The issue is TSRE does not support showing pre-loaded containers and trailers, so all we see in the consist editor is empty well cars, making it difficult to tell what cars are loaded and which ones are unloaded. That's a TSRE problem rather than anything wrong with the well cars.

                      I can try - but first I need to know what in particular isn't showing up. If it's the cars, then I'd double check where you installed them - all of the folders should go in the trainset folder, not in any subfolder, and none of the folder structures should be modified in any way. All of these cars use relative paths, so it's critical that the infrastructure is not modified. Your folder structure should look like this:
                      All cars will show up in the DTTX 456700 series. If it's the containers that don't show up, that's due to TSRE not being quite up to date with the changes made to Open Rails in the last year.

                      It's not an error - the intent was to make the "new default" cars fit in seamlessly with the other cars so they become "ordinary," while keeping the WAG file name so they appear in existing consists.

                        Gotcha. When I searched in TSRE for US2* nothing came up, but I also don't have any consists that call for the default equipment, either.

                        These look really good in the game.
