Help finding rail car

[glenn68]

I figure to put this in the general forum.
I am looking for RW gondola or flat cars that have steel slabs for loads.
Can someone point me into the right direction?

Thanks,
Glenn

If you know of an existing asset that is your "steel slabs" than you can edit an existing flat car or gondola to use that asset as the load object.

Would you please post a guide to editing loads? I would like to be able to create some custom loads like I did in MSTS.

That would be a great idea, I have the steel works flats that have the slab loads but I would like to find 65 foot gons with slab loads.

Open up the wagon bin file using RW_Tools or similar utility and edit the portion of the file shown below, changing the entries shown in red with the entires appropriate for your cargo load.
