Haven't seen any, but they would be a nice addition.

They'd be awesome. They're articulated aren't they?

Nope, not in this game, not yet anyway.

I was wondering if someone has created that huge ramp thing that we can load and unload our automobiles onto the Autoracks with, anyone know if something like this exists in Railworks, please??

Are you sure that was SMM? I thought it was someone else who was doing an Amtrak auto car route.

Aaaah, thank you, now then, I obtained the route folder when Jerry made it available for us all, but, I never installed the route as I found out that it can only be run in WIN 7 64 bit, and I'm still on WIN XP, it wouldn't happen to be this item by any chance, would it - smm_krautmotorco_loadramp.bin

Oooh! Oooh! Finally a question I can answer! Marc, from 3d trains, has made some to be released with the Selkirk branch.

What do you think of these? It's just a test bed right now, but they work in a train and couple up and roll and everything...will post again when they are a bit more polished. Just proof of concept. Yes, there is a shared truck in the middle. As an aside, does anybody know if RSC has updated the EULA about taking ideas and products without compensation? Hummmm...

RSC has taken nothing form anyone to this date. And they haven't changed the eula.

Just make sure you do a better job than RSC could... why would anyone pay for something when they can get a better one for free.
