This car has been painted both gray and red throughout its service and is presently colored gray.
It now resides on the Cumbries and Toltec Scenic railway and has recently been rebuilt by the Friends of the C&T.

This car was modeled from actual inspection and measurement and from plans in “D&RGW NG WORK/BOX OUTFIT CARS” by Steve Swanson and Mike Horner. All historical data is from this same publication. Howard Saunders performed file and texture tweaking, all lettering, and initial testing. Herb Kelsey performed additional testing and Tom Werb performed the final testing and provided the screen shot.

Enjoy, Bill

G-50-10 CLASS, BUILT 1926.

REPAINT SEPT 2, 2010

The SP car story is available with any of the SP GS Gondola downloads in Elvas Tower library.

The Model:

This model comes in two parts as is usual with my projects. A main shape file, named after the car's railroad owner, type and road number: RG_Gon_45399.s, and the "FA" or FreightAnim shape file that has the detail and load parts.

Along with the empty car model I've included three different types of loads. A lumber load, a coal load and a copper ore load. The wag files for each of these loads are in their own folders labeled as such. Just copy and paste the particular load wag file into the car folder, overwriting. It's that easy! Just don't cut and paste! You need a copy in their folders always.

The model comes with a 2048x2048 main ace file and a number of smaller auxiliary aces.

I don't think I'll ever do anything with these, but they may be of interest to some of you.

Original File Name = OldMachines.zip]]> Mon, 09 Aug 2010 03:25:07 +0000 1065 http://www.elvastower.com/forums/index.php?/files/file/1064-50-covered-bridge-in-ng/ While searching the net, I found pictures in Pennsylvania of this covered bridge completely restored and painted red.
It's a 50 foot queen post bridge that has been covered. Reason for covering these smaller and larger bridges was to help keep the elements off in hopes of preserving the bridge itself.
There are quite a few of them scattered around the states. Some for auto traffic and some for rail travel.
This is my narrow gauge version of the same little bridge as it might have looked before the restoration. (circa 1890)

Have fun!

These files require the NA_Required sound folder which is FREELY available in the Train-sim.com File Library. Search File Libary for file named: na_req.zip

(The NA_Required sounds folder MUST be installed within the "TRAINSET" folder of your MSTS installation.)

Installing these files in your NP_F-1_2-8-0 Folder along with the NA_Required in the TRAINSET Folder, will let your helper engines chug at a different rate and with different sounds from your road engine, for a very enjoyable audio-visual experience, lost when diesels came onto the scene.

In your consist editor look for the "H_NP 2-8-0 No.56" and "H_NP 2-8-0 No.70" names for the helpers. Place helpers anywhere but the front, as the sounds lack bell and whistle wavs*.

My thanks to Andre Ming for doing these files for me.

*Note: There are no bell or whistle sounds for the Helpers. This is how they come using the NA_Required sources.
