File Name: 12' flat cars in 3 foot NG

Here's a little something for your mining, logging or short line operations. 5 flat cars, 3 empty and 2 loaded.
Poly count is a bit high because of all the details I usually add so watch it if you plan on pulling lots of them.
Again, back dated with archbar trucks and link 'n' pin couplers of the 1800's era.

UPGRADING INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are upgrading, delete the original 5 flat car folders and install this one single folder instead.
Please NOTE BEFORE DELETING:
If you have re-skinned, created consists or made activities with the original 5 flat cars,
DO NOT install this upgrade as instructed! You will lose your work and probably crash the sim if you do.
How you should install this upgrade is to drag and drop each flat car's shape file (.s) into it's proper folder
AND add two additional texture files as well and they are;
rahlc6.ACE
wheelface1.ACE.
Without deleting the original 5 flat car files, this method of installation will maintain all your work with no runs, no drips and no errors.

Enjoy!

The wheels are rounder with shiny tires.
The couplers are rounder (links & pins.).
The brake wheel is rounder.
The sides are now suitable for re-skins.
I'm no longer using FreightAnim for the loads. It's now a complete model.
All this made the poly counts go up. They average about 8,000 to 10,000 a piece, now. (OpenRails, here I come...)

Hope you enjoy the new version...
