With a week off at work, I'm finally getting some quality project time at the computer. This one has been in the works for awhile. I use to see a few of these Alpha Beta store refer trailers on UP TOFC trains while railfanning Cajon Pass (SoCal) back in the 80's. I believe they carried meat from Utah. The Trailer Train RTTX car is a repaint I've also been dabbling with. It uses the flatcar from RSC's SD75 pack. The RCAP 45' trailers just barely fit, but the prototype was that way, with the nose of the trailer slightly hanging over the edge of the car.

Good job Howard.
John
I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.

Thank you Harry and John. Next one to be included in the pack is an APL container on a truck chassis. This is just the trailer that came with the RSC SD75 pack with some additional branding.
Still having a heck of a time getting the RTTX reporting marks to show up next flat car's car number. The type shows on the DDS file, but for some reason is not getting rendered in game. All the other type that I added is showing up. It must has something to do with auto-numbering.
