HEY!

Thank You...Thank you..Thank you!

@ Box of Rocks - That's very nice of you. I appreciate that. Yes, my intention is to move just about all of my stuff over. As a matter of fact, I have already started a makeover of the 1850 caboose. Gonna give it an interior. My focus will probably be the crossings though, now that we can finally get them into the game. Take care.

Model, any chance your cabeese will move over to TF2? Its just not the same with out them.

@ ThatOldGamer - I'm not sure if this would have any affect, but does your game call for the USA vehicles? I think there's an option for that before the game is started. Any other USA themed mods you're using that are working correctly?

I enable this mod in my game but it doesn't show up in any menu - passenger car, freight car, track asset... Time period is appropriate, plus I'm running the no end date mod.

All the ones I ever saw were RED I was born in 1949.. so I remember them from real life!

Finaly! Been looking for one of these things. Thanks.

Not yet. Its been a busy year. My wife broke her ankle while making a job change to use here new masters degree. Taking care of her became a hobby in and of itself. My workload at the office picked way up too. You know the story. But today I started setting myself up to make another run at it. Thought I'd try a simple geometric set of shapes to see if I could make a rudimentary loco analog, and then go from there.

@ wskinn - Glad to hear you've gotten it customized to your needs. Did you ever get the SP re-skin working?

Model, this is still my favorite mod. I did follow your instructions and tinker with the script so it has no speed restriction, weight penalty, or pass capacity. People might ask "why bother running it", but as a US Steam era fan a train just doesn't look right without a caboose on the tail. Thanks for making this.

Does this thing have any function at all?

I noticed that most of the railroad cars come with a per month cost that accumulates by a percentage over time. Is it possible that this car could be modified to have a negative cost? (As a means of satisfying Blackdragonbird's request?) I'm not using mods in my current playthrough but I might try it next time.

No plans right now to do brake vans. Too many irons in the fire. :)

What a pitty. Them I will use it only for the aesthetics.

Do you intend to do a EU version of it? Braking Van?

@ Blackdragonbird - Great idea, but somethng only the game developers could do unfortunately.

@modelcitizen. Simple superb. Do you think it's possible to ask for a coder to make these things usefull? I'm a technical player, aesthetics came later.

Maybe make it lower the maintenance costs of the train by 2-5% for example? And obviously, do not allow more than one per train? Only an ideia, but why not?

Cheers. =)

If you could add to description: Speed, Cargo, Cost etc. I would be glad!

@Nalerenn - I'm glad it's working now, but, it makes me a little afraid to update any of my other mods. And there are several I'd like to update. I am sorry you had to jump through hoops to get this sorted.

@modelcitizen So I just made a major breakthrough. On a hunch, I copied the mod across to the game's own mods folder, rather than the Steam Workshop. The caboose showed up there fine. Might be a fault with Steam, rather than on your end.

@Nalerenn - OK, thanks for trying. I'll need to think about this. I thought that would work.

@modelcitizen That's exactly what I tried. No luck, sadly.

@Nalerenn - I'd like to try something else. Can you navigate your way to Steam's workshop folder? ( STEAM / steamapps / workshop / content / 446800 / 947151139 ). Folder "947151139" is the caboose folder. I'd be interested to know if un-subscribing and then deleting this folder BEFORE you re-subscribe would fix the problem. Let me know.

@modelcitizen Nope. Resubscribing didn't fix the issue. The other caboose models work fine

@Expression @Rafn @Nalerenn - Not abandoned and have no clue why it would not be working now. The problem, though, does seem to have appeared after the last update of the mod (Version 1.3). My only suggestion would be to unsubscribe from the mod and re-subscribe. I can confirm that the mod is working for myself. Hope this fixes it.

Can confirm. Mod no longer works. Pretty sure author has abandoned it by now.

It's missing from my game too. Mod is active, but no caboose - used work just fine in the past.

Any clues to why this caboose doesn't show up in my rail car list in-game? The year's 1952.

I'm looking forward to the "modelcitizen" / "wskinn" co-operation.

@wskinn - Look forward to hearing from you.

Sorry Mr Model, I dropped out of the loop for a while there. Work got a little too busy.

I will PM you for the caboose skin, and maybe if you're interested, some advice that could help me make american prototypes to compliment yours. I have ACAD skills, and limited non-animated graphics theory. I'd like to have a mentor so I can learn to draft up an Espee E-23, MT-5, and maybe even a baywindow.

so far you have the best functioning car mods because they arnt road specific. most are road specific or unpaintable. i have found no centerbeam mods no ore car mods out of all the car types i found there is a pensylvania RR flat car and a small and large grain hopper but only squares no bulge cars. you the best american mods and sort of bragged about them to colonel failure for his next american series. so far the only issues i have ever had with your mods is that the cabose holding 1 passenger royaly messes up the wait till full function and you cant put logos on it. you do great stuff dont be humbe you are one of the best general american modders. you dont just repaint or reskin or put roadnames on th=rains you leave them blank so they arnt specific, you make the only good american signals. keep er goin

@kyleachesney - Although I'm very flattered by your confidence in my limited abilities, I believe some of the cars that you mentioned have already been made. And by much more competent creators than myself.

@modelcitizen so far you have made the best american mods. could you make mods for cars that arnt but should be in the game. covered hoppers,bagage cars, deferent passengercar classes and styles,centerbeam cars, flat cars, intermodal well cars, ect

@kyleachesney - Unless someone else does it first, I'll probably try to tackle every kind of American signal and crossing I can think of. Gantry signals, modern crossings - I'd love to see them all in the game. Sadly, there's just not many American modders around. Thanks for your comments. :)

@modelcitizen wut what about the gantry signals and crossing gates that hang lites high over the track

@kyleachesney - Already working on the crossbuck lights and gate signals. These will be the old ones, not the modern ones. And yes, I do have plans to make the wig-wags. :)

@modelcitizen is there anyplan to make american gantry signals or crossbuck gate signals. or those cool swinging ones of name i cant remember. love what you do, favorite moder

@wskinn - If you want them sent to an e-mail, send me a private message or you can tell me how to send them. :)

@modelcitizen That.....would be great! That's extremely kind of you. Yes please.

@wskinn - If you're talking about the logo feature that's a part of the in-game models, you would have to create a logo mesh. For that, I would think 3DS Max or Blender . If you're just wanting to do a re-skin, I have the original skins and would be happy to send them to you. :)

@modelcitizen - I am new to this so pleae pardon any faux pas. I would like to add the Southern Pacific script to the side of this model for my personal use. Is it innapropriate to ask what modelling software a person would use to do that?

@kyleachesney - I don't have any immediate plans to make anymore cabooses at the moment. I've decided to pay American crossings another visit and that's taking up my time right now. I do appreciate your interest and nice comments though. After the crossings, I'll probably try to give the Baldwin 0-6-0 a tender.

@modelcitizen are you able to make more cabose designs like bay window caboose. passengercar cabooses. central cupola cabooses. im not saying the ones you already have are bad, they arnt i absolitly addore them and they should be soon to be feawtured on letsplays by colonel failure on youtube

@kyleachesney, I'm going to stay away from trying to personalize these. However, I would encourage anyone to tinker around with the textures and make them your own.

can you add letteing. or stripes or styles

I appreciate all the nice comments. To answer a couple of questions:
@LONDONMIDLANDZZ - I believe that 60 mph is the max speed if memory serves.
@Colonel Sucess - This caboose or any of my others have no in-game function or use. It's just
decoration. Americans (especially those born before the 1980s) want to see a caboose behind
their freight trains. :)
@Atomic Biohazard - I couldn't agree more. I was getting kinda tired of looking at it myself. :)

Awesome, typical and classic car. Very nice, much awaited model, thank you.

Absolutely beautiful! I can tell a lot of time and hard work was put into this amazing caboose!

Finally! Something other than that tiny wooden caboose you made a while back!

can you do this is florida east coast lines colors and seaboard coast line , I love to have this thing in those colars and with the right markings also i need any thing in those colors. thank you again
