Side Dump Ballast Cars?

Unread postby hobo1960 » Mon Apr 29, 2019 1:46 pm

Does anyone know if there is a side dump ballast car available in the game?

If so, I'd like to try and paint a car up in the Herzog "Candy Cane" train scheme.

I am fascinated by the technology of GPS location services and railroad maintenance:

Hi,

it's not exactly the same car but if "close enough" is acceptable for your repaint, then maybe my B&M 100t ballast hopper might work.There's not awfully much detailing on the sideways unloading chutes, but have a look here for some screenshots and the models:
