      Love it. I expect a few to show up as section houses on at least one of my routes.

      Now you need to put a generator, air compressor and fuel tank on the spare portion of that TTX flat. No self respecting MOW crew would leave that much unused space.

      When Erick Cantu finishes up his USRA flats, they'll be even more haulable.

        Thanks guys, I hope you enjoy it! And Eric, I totally agree. If my modelling skills went beyond "kit bashing" to creating I'd love to fill the space. I was actually looking at a beat up 20 foot container last night and thinking "hmmmm?". It's so easy to go back down that rabbit hole.

        Edit.... and I had to check in with Eric myself Neil. With zero route mod skills I wasn't sure how the scenery object aspect worked, particularly in relation to the FA adding the aircon via the .wag file but it sounds like it's a lot more straightforward than I'd imagined. Hopefully you enjoy sticking one of them in the weeds somewhere!

          Been beta testing the CN set for Pete, couple of shots showing the instructions work AOK. (ignor the lights, nothing wrong with the set up, i use my own custom light ace so it makes the std lights look twice as big, i will have to edit these for my own use later)

                MOW Container Sunday is complete. Eric's comment "no self respecting MOW crew would leave that much unused space" festered a bit LOL so I stuck a 20 foot "tool shed" on there too. I stole the idea of the skylight from a bloke I know who has a 20 footer in use as a shed on his farm so I'm expecting to see it pop up in some nice rural scenes in the screenshot forum.

                            They're right at home in an actual MOW yard....

                            And the 20 footer looks great on our ridge in TN... that's about the place we're looking to put a real one, thanks to Jerry's CNOTP3 route.

                                I had some more scruffy old containers and decided to go around again with another MOW Shed load. In hindsight I was also not that happy with my previous 20 footer.... a bit too much sun glare, so I've toned it down and will include an edited dds file in the Shed 2 upload. I still have another container I could do but just for variety I'm wondering if anyone has a MOW type object or piece of equipment I could add to the next flat car with the container. Eric already suggested a generator, air compressor or tank. I'd take any of those or pretty much anything else MOW like. if you have something and would like to share it, please let me know. I'll give it a day or two then upload tonight's containers and hopefully another container and a yet to be announced object.
