I've been pushing for more modern four bay grain cars, but I've either been ignored on here with the request, it gets directed to plastic pellet cars instead, or simply no luck in general.
TMT/TT is currently the only option available, and that's fine, some folks prefer not, and I get that. The only real gripe I have with the TMT/TT cars, is the fact I have to adjust the wagon files to behave properly in ORTS 1.5.1 and beyond.

So... exactly what model are you looking for? And do reference drawings and photo's exist?

I have more on my computer... But these are some..

That is a start at least. Looking good.

Some more four bays. Some could probably be able to use the TS model, while others are different. Of course, there are others like AMFX, BRIX, BSEX, CAIX, GACX, AOK, AOKX, FURX, WFRX, MWCX that all have their options in four bay series too, all of which have been represented by Tiger Trains and Toronto Mainline Trains, but never hurts to have more. You really can't have enough grain cars.










There is also these 5 bay hoppers that would be really awesome to finally have too. So many can be found in places for Talc, Corn Starch, and stuff like that for Paper Mills and others general facilities.

Yeah, I just saw a row of the ERCX model on the way to the airport this morning. Definitely different I'm inclined to keep working on the AEX9094 Style

When I first started seeing those "ERCX" type cars, they were I believe marked for FURX or NDYX. Along the bottom sill, "Shell Co." was written. Not sure what they were used for prior, but hopefully well cleaned before hauling feed for dairy cows.

Looking forward to slapping the AEX textures onto that car!

Working on some more lumber loads from the Maine area. As well as testing out the waters on retexturing the lumber loads on Erick Cantu's centerbeam cars.
