Original Car by Tim Muir
Authorized Re-texture by C Gerlach

This is a typical single Sheathed utility box car as used on the Michigan Central RR, intended for use on a steam era version of the London and Port Stanley RR, prior to 1914. The MCRR had leasing rights to run steam equipment on the L&PS and so their stock was found there as well. Tim Muir has very graciously permitted me to do a retexture of his original car as there are very few MCRR cars available for MSTS until now. Tim also found and fixed some errors in the first uploaded version, which was very kind of him.

Tim's Original info read:

Maryland & Pennsylvania RR 40-TON,40-ft Single-Sheathed Boxcar XM #1153 by timmuir Icon

I based it off of the CB&Q X-28 single-sheathed boxcar model made in October of 2005. Much was done to make it over to the M&Pa car, the most noticeable being the heavy truss-work Z-bar side-bracing of the X28 has been replaced with a some-what lighter construction side bracing found on the M&Pa single-sheathed 1100 cars. Also, the X28's Andrews trucks were replaced with Diamond arch-bar frames. Other less noticeable details such as ladders, roof mats and supports, grabs and a couple of tiny things were also changed.
