Thrall Bulkhead Flatcars

[GreatNortherner]

Colleagues,

Coming very soon:

An all-new, scratch-built model of a Thrall 65' bulkhead flatcar. Not a 100% copy of the prototype, I built it mostly by looking at photos and not blueprints.
Already exported and set up, only some testing still needs to be done. It will come with the three loads shown below.









Cheers!
Michael

Cool. I hope there also will be other liveries.

those look great like everything you make! are they only going to be BN or is there going to be a NP version?

[thecanadianrail]

just thought of it, a pipe load would look great on those cars.

Oooo I like, will you be releasing a paint kit with the cars?

[ATSF3814]

I can't believe it. I was just thinking about how great it would be to have these kinds of flatcars in RW.

Thanks for all your hard work and excellent content Michael.

Hi,

It has been released:

For the time being, only in BN colors and only with the three loads pictured above. Maybe I'll find some time to add some more.

A repaint kit is also included, I think this car should be fairly easy to reskin, the mapping is pretty simple and I tried to explain what goes where in the legend of the paint kit.

Cheers!
Michael

I was doing some re-skinning of your flatcar, and wound up with an odd result. When loaded by the 'NS Lumber Dock' animated load point that you modified some time ago, the loads go through the deck and sit on the rails. The train operates normally, with no collisions or errors. However as you will be able to see it looks somewhat odd:
