These models are Mississippi Limestone Company reskins of Michael Stephan’s 50t Offset-Side Coal Hopper. The freeware NYC Hopper Megapack can be downloaded at http://www.stephan-michael.de/railsim/p ... opnyc.html .
Run the RW_AssetSetup.exe file to install the model. The unit will be installed to Assets\GreatNortherner\Hoppers\RailVehicles\Freight\50t-offset\MSLX. In the scenario editor it is listed as “Hopper 50t MSLX1.” There are four different models (1-4) with different numbers.
I envision the Mississippi route as the Memphis Subdivision of Frank Ellison’s Delta Lines extending from Monroe, LA, to Memphis, TN. The Delta Lines mainline extends from New Orleans to St. Louis.
The Mississippi Limestone Branch is a 14 mile spur line from Louisiana, Mississippi, to Friar’s Point, where the Mississippi Limestone Company is located. MSLX owns twenty 50 ton offset-side hoppers purchased from the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroad. Most of their product is shipped south on the Delta Lines to Louisiana builders.
This package is released as freeware. You can do whatever you wish with it EXCEPT make money with its use.
