Those are MINT. Any reason to switch to just a Freight Car Pack 1 and keep the old releases as individual packs?

Here's the combos for BNSF and UP containers (LOD1 on the left [~3000 verts per container <200m], LOD2 on the right [8 verts per container >200m])

Keep in mind, when repainting, the types of containers and how many of each. JB Hunt is the most common with BNSF and HUB Group (green) is most common with UP. Also There are 3 different TYPES of containers: CIMC, JINDO, CIMC (vertical end).

The BNSF set has: 4 CIMC, 2 JINDO, and 2 CIMC (vertical end).
The UP set has: 4 JINDO, 3 CIMC, 1 CIMC (vertical end).

So when you decide which railroad container group you want to repaint, pick whichever GeoPcDx with its corresponding texture maps that best fit that railroad. I did it this way so we have more diversity.

You can repaint them to your railroad. It should be pretty streamline if you check out the container repaint pack.

1. Copy whichever container set fits that railroad (from BNSF or UP) to the new folder (In this case, CP).
2. Repaint the containers to whatever livery you desire.
3. Replace those TgPcDx's and you'll be all set.

Right now the only repaint pack I will release will be the containers and trailers. Everything else will come at a later date. I'm currently dealing with a few "real life" things.

TBH those were the only things I planned on repainting for now. Good luck with sorting out the "real life" things too!
