DRGW Coal Hoppers

_______________________________

While updating scenarios for OVSRails, a number of scenarios required the old DRGW coal hopper.  Since the original painter's file could not be located, I decided to try my hand again at repainting the Kuju Coal Hopper
so I wouldn't have to keep swapping the cars out for a different model.  

Included in this package are 2 repaints of the DRGW coal hopper.  The first one has the Rio Grand speed lettering logo and the other has a post Southern Pacific speed lettering logo that was used after the DRGW/SP merger.
The TS20xx US Loco and Asset Pack is required for this package to work.  This model posed a little bit of a quandary as the texture mapping to the model is a little screwy.  I was unable to paint the logos over the ribs of
hopper as the sides of multiple ribs are mapped to the same texture map.  This resulted in white patches showing up on ribs that aren't supposed to have white patches.  Although the prototype hoppers have the logos painted
across the ribs, I was forced to break the logos up and place them on the panels between the ribs. Artistic license I guess!!

INSTALLATION

Locate the DRGW_Coal_Hoppers.rwp file and install it using the TS20xx Package Installer.

Navigate to Railworks\Assets\Kuju\RailsimulatorUS\RailVehicles\Freight\CoalHopper\Default\Wagon and copy the coal_hopper.GeoPcDx file.
Navigate to Railworks\Assets\Kuju\RailsimulatorUS\RailVehicles\Freight\CoalHopper\DRGW\Wagon and the DRGW2\Wagon and paste the geofile there.

That's it.  Enjoy and have fun!
