Bulkhead flat problem

I am testing a MC&SA scenario which involves loading 8 BN bulkhead flats. When loaded the loads go through the floor and rest on the rails. I was told that these are Great Northerner cars and that he had a fix for them. If this is true, where do I find these cars and which one do I delete (or do the upgrades overwrite the old ones). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Yes, that is something I did wrong when setting up the original cargo blueprints for the Thrall bulkhead flatcars. The cars actually worked fine, but only with the exact cargo objects that shipped with the original package file. When loading any other objects onto them, like for example at a container transfer or one of Dick Ham's loading docks, and the cargo object would 'fall through' the car.

The package file on my website has been updated some time in February. So if you downloaded the cars before then, please re-download and reinstall them and everything should work as planned. Although old repaints, if there are any, will probably still have this problem.

Cheers,
Michael
