Heavyweight RPO

Unread postby harryadkins » Tue Dec 27, 2022 11:59 am

I wish someone would create a heavyweight RPO for Train Sim. Thomas Pearce created a really nice PRR model (BLLW) but we really need a more generic model too.

Found a MSTS conversion. I'll see if I can make anything out of it. Stand by.

So would I. Especially a Southern one, be it a 60' RPO like TVRM's 40 or the Baggage-RPO such as SERM's.

It would be lovely.

BLLW also did a lovely 6-3 Pullman sleeper, sadly withdrawn. I would love some more heavyweight stock.

That looks quite promising.

I look forward to its development.

Yeah I would also like new US passenger cars of different varieties. Hopefully a modeler sees that many people are interested and decide to make such a thing.

This isn't bunch of much but it's really old, a conversion, and really basic. You will find this as SRR bagmail. I'm not putting this in the library but here it is for anyone to use as a place holder until one of our fearless modelers decides to do a heavy weight RPO car.

Does anyone own the britkits heavyweight passenger cars. I’m currently having trouble with the passenger cars. Whenever i put them in the scenario editor they show up. But when i do a quick drive they don’t show up. I have done everything i know how to do. Including uninstalling and reinstalling them. But still doesn’t work. If someone could help me out it would be very nice and considerate.
Thanks
