Hi guys,
Here's another NG odd ball to add to your shortline narrow gauge rolling stock. Might go a little better with a mining route or at least it could be used as such.
No brakes but does have link and pin couplers.
Because of how small this car is, the couplers have been lowered to accommodate the smaller locomotives of NG.
It's a somewhat typical Side Dump Gondola Ballast Car of the late 1800's or so.
No animations applied, just your basic MSTS model.

Poly count is a bit high at, 13,035 or so but I had no issues running a string of them in MSTS on my PC.

There are 3 in this set. One empty and two loaded, one with ballast, one with dirt.
