Yep! I think one of the biggest reasons that I'm going to buy this when it is released is because of the stack cars alone. I've been waiting for those specific type of cars for a long time!

Tbh I haven't touched Train Simulator in a while but I might consider coming back just for this. DTM has done a much better job texturing these models.

What size are the Shipping Containers please, any ideas, can we swap them out for realistically looking ones?

Cheerz. Steve.

Does G-Trax have the appropriate 40' stacks for them?

the only thing I can nit pick is that the braces on the end seem to be a little low. Doesn't seem like it would be able to support the top container.

In the release article there is a picture with the single stacks. You can see that the default stacks they used are too big.

There are also these:

The tops of the containers should be halfway in the holders, not above them.

I don’t think that’s because they are too big, I think the container object is set too high. Maybe a object height adjustment is necessary to set them down to their proper location......

Yes thank you! That's exactly what I was talking about. But without seeing a picture of the double stacked version I guess my point is mute.

The containers look slightly oversized compared to the G-Trax 40 footers, but not by much. I agree, its the positioning of the load on the single stacks that appears to be the problem. This is a minor flaw in an otherwise very good product.

They probably used the old Kuju containers which were grossly oversized.
