Elvas Tower: DL&W 4 Wheel Caboose #71 GLITCH FIX - Elvas Tower

To start off, I want to apologize for the last few DL&W uploads. I did not test things well and as I was running the trains I found scads of issues. I think I have resolved them (most of them anyway)

I'm re-uploading the entire set, LEHIGH, CARBON, jimmies and caboose. There are some consist files included for empty and loaded trains. I tried to make it all one file but it was much too large.

I did notice one thing...The bell on CARBON doesn't stop moving. No sound because it's the second engine. just motion.
I apologize again for such a horrendous oversight.
DL&W 4 Wheel Caboose Version 1.1 August 331st, 2022

WARNING: OpenRails ONLY!!! Pretty sure it won't work in MSTS.

OpenRails model of what may have been an early 4 wheel caboose. While most early "cabeese" were converted boxcars, I have assumed this one was was built on the frame of a "jimmie", the small 4 wheel hopper used by the anthracite (and other) roads.

Physics is a guess pulled from some file from another car years ago for my very first attempt at modeling a coal jim (or anything else). The performance parameters are beyond my skillset and probably need revision.

There is an interior view. I went a tad upscale and used new varnished wood furniture, a coal stove and a rather handsome young man as a conductor. I found a black and white image and faintly colorized it. When you press the 5 key you'll be looking ou the front door. I find it interestinn to watch the train rocking back and forth and left it that way. To see the rest of the the caboose interior simply rotate the camera with arrow keys.

The model is high poly and may cause framerate issues. I haven't had any issues, as long as I remember to shut down all the other apps I use to create these things. If there is an issue the model has 3 levels of detail. I suppose one could use some utility to eliminate the first LOD and use the second. It has no rivets, but may also be missing parts you might rather appear in the sim.

Installation Procedure:

Unzip DL&WCaboose71.7z into the OpenRails Trains\Trainset directory. It can then be added to any consist with any consist editor. I use the TRES editor.
