Railworks America
Mining Ore Jennies
Reskins by Harry Adkins
These models are reskins of the payware Ore Hoppers from the RWA Lakeside Route. The route can be purchased at http://www.railworksamerica.com/ .
After unzipping, move the Assets folder to your Railworks folder. The units will be installed to Assets\RWA\Lakeside\RailVehicles\Freight\HopperOre\Mining. Copy all the GEOPCX files from Assets\RWA\Lakeside\RailVehicles\Freight\HopperOre\Default and paste the copies in the “Mining” folder. In the scenario editor they will be listed as “RWA Hopper Ore Reserve” (Superior, NMMX).
My operational concept is that the RW&A would contract with one of these northern Minnesota mining companies to deliver their taconite (iron ore) to a transport ship on Lake Superior. The 80-car trains would originate about 30 miles northwest of Riverside and travel to Waterton. Eventually, I hope to produce locomotives painted for the three mining companies.
If you have problems you can post a message in the forum at Railworks America. This package is released as freeware. You can do whatever you wish with it EXCEPT make money with its use.
