Here it is folks! Some missing train cars for the early years (1850-1900) to add to your game! These are based on both real and some fictional aspects. lets break it down, I’m not going to go into history much at all and perhaps edit this description at a later time.

Yes! In the future there will be other early American freight car packs, and or adding to this one. What will occur at a later date when I get custom loads understood, I will add some to the flat cars here! Though this is far off for the moment.

This set of train cars was my introduction to modding. I used Urban Game’s 1850 American Tanker car to create the flat cars. I also used Urban Game’s 1850 American Box car to create the reefer. Simple stuff, but I felt the era really needed the additional cars. The triple axle and the quad bogie cars just came up and randomly chose to do them since they seemed simple enough!

Well I’m still working on my 4-4-0 Class N/C 14 locomotive pack.. that should be really soon. After to conclude my backlog I will have a very early passenger coach! Stay tuned!

If any issues, please post in the comments.

Enjoy the train cars!
