Looking very very good, and an absolute welcome addition to the game! Feel free to include the communications script from our defect detector addon so that consist messaging works if you so desire. !*salute*!

Secondarily, if you want your couplings to simulate the rougly 3 feet of travel, our reefers and 60ft box cars both have coupling blueprints with values for damping and travel that should be about equal to what these Autoracks have. Would be great fun trying to manage the slack on a V-BLUPTL across the hogbacks of the Hi-Line. :D

Superb work! About time we have some new rolling stock. What kind of autoracks are these? Definitely not Gunderson Multi-Maxes

!*salute*! Thanks! I'm gonna keep it simple since it's a freeware product. I still have to edit the sound.

There are many different versions/company builds. These are similar to the Pullman Standard type, which is why it will be labeled "AB PS Autorack CSX" in the game. After I'm done with these I'll make the Bethlehem Steel type which has less perforations and bigger/longer side panel connectors. Then, once I'm done with those you can expect some Gunderson Multi-Max's :D

I'm legit drooling right now with all those screenies, this is nothing short of outstanding. Beyond excited to take these on a spin!

Searchlight Simulations has excellent quality audio that is included with their Freight Car Pack 01; I suggest reaching out to them so you can optimize them accordingly. The flange and break squeals included are outstanding.

Excited to see those as well! Atlas' and Scaletrains' recent releases of their HO Scale Gunderson Multi-Maxes made me interested in them. Trinity autoracks seem quite interesting to model as well, and I think those would look great all mixed together in a consist.

Oh good. This will be a very nice replacement to the DTG autoracks. I will definitely get this when it is released. Great work!

I'll mix my own sounds. I have over 100 trains I recorded during the lockdown in March, April, and May with a high quality audio recorder (and camera of course). Since there was nothing to do I just went out and railfanned !*don-know!*
