MY UPLOAD PROJECT NUMBER 227 (J B Hunt Reefers) STARTS BELOW


Well i know i stated i was done with containers for a while, but i mentioned to a friend that i would have like to have done some J B Hunt reefers but just could not find any decent pics, he told me he had taken some shots of them and sent some sides over i could use, i did find one partial hi res shot online of the nose end which included a really good shot of the fuel tank so i was able to update that as well, this set will be a long term job as i have switched over to looking at and setting up all of the payware and freeware i have accumulated since stating on the container series in May last year, but these will be finished and uploaded in the end, just a few pics showing work to date, still all the small details to do which are the bits that take up all the time. one thing the shape does come with the diaganol bracing on the side at the reefer end, but the top and bottom containers should have 2 horizontal braces not diaganal but for this set will have to have diaganal ones.

All three.jpg below you can see the new tank texture, unfotunately the mapping does not alow it to flow over the top of the tank as the top is mapped from the roof

I'll be looking forward to these ones for sure!

Well have finished the first one, used one of the previous Dry JB Hunt containers reneumbered for the bottom container, and managed to find enough of a roof shot to be able to re-create the correct roof ribbing pattern for these reefers. Have also done these as 2 seperate containers so the reefer can be moved to any well you want, just by moving its location using shape file manager so it can fit on the bottom of any well or spine car, this does mean that as it uses the ORTS FA system i can only be used in ORTS unless you remove one container and change the FA line to the std MSTS one.

One thing i forgot to mention, these shapes only come wih the diaganol bracing at the reefer ends, the JB Hunt come with 2 horizontal bars, but i will have to upload them with the diaganol type, the grey ended one though is correct in this form.

3rd Stack finished, also renumbered the well for the 2nd stack, still have to do that for this one,

Bernard, these containers are so excellent, I've decided to use them as scenery items on my CMOR "Back Road" route. Stacked in the Waterville Intermodal Yard.

Nothing against the well cars provided, but I slapped these on some of Pete's tagged cars, and they make a stellar combination! Need to grab some pics still.
