Looking forward to installing these tonight.

Regarding the page itself, am I correct in noting that it does not share the same log-in or account history as this page:

Good looking cars, so much better than the average Railworks stuff that dates back to Kuju.

Which of these cars is most at home on Soldier Summit, to be hauled by DRGW power? PSCX I suppose??

Nice looking cars. Are there weathered variants too?

Correct, this is a different content creator hence the different URL: http://guido73.rrmods.us/product-catego ... -releases/

You'll have to create a new account for this storefront as well it appears, at least that's what I did.

@RRMods: If it's possible for your IT guys to work up a single log in it would be more convenient.

Question for clarification - is the Dependents file that is required for these cars the same as the one that's required for the tanks and hoppers on the other site? I just want to make sure I'm not duplicating downloads.
Looking at some of the products on this page for another simulator, hopefully that means we'll be seeing some 5-bay rapid discharge hoppers in the near future.

Yes, it's the same pack, 378mbs, I think it is, they're all the same audio and coupling assets.

Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

Correct these cars use the same audio file as previous RRMods releases, however they have a new rotary coupler asset.

The NORX cars were found on DRGW and later UP in Colorado, and the PSCX, also on DRGW in Colorado and BN through Wyoming and Nebraska.

Thanks for the clarification! Now after Ivey been playing around with these I've gotta say they are really top notch models, the only two things I did make a note of is the coal texture seems a tad blurry and stretched but not a big deal at all. the other thing is that there is supposed to be 3 liveries per car (or stages of weathering it seems), well besides the BN version I honestly cant seem to tell the difference. Would you be able to point them out to us more clearly? Thank you very much for your hard work on these, we all cant wait to see what comes up next from you guys at RRMods!

So for each 'car', there are actually three cars: for example, the BN car has Thrall_4000cf_BN_575000_1, Thrall_4000cf_BN_575000_2, and Thrall_4000cf_BN_575000_3, which are the three skin variants. The other two cars following the same naming convention.
