[DEPRECATED] Centerbeam Flatcars

Description
These are now included in the base game and no longer need to be downloaded. I'm leaving them on the workshop for now to prevent any disrupted saves.


This is a pair of centerbeam flatcars, also known as lumber racks. Centerbeams were designed to carry bundled goods such as lumber, plywood, drywall, and many other building materials. The first is an older design, a 66-foot (20 meter) wagon distinguishable by it's 'opera window' panels. The second is a new, 73-foot (22 meter) wagon bolstered by a series of trusses.

20m Centerbeam:
  • Years 1964-1983
  • Weight 26 t
  • Capacity: 90 tons of boards, bricks, and prefab panels

22m Centerbeam:
  • Years 1970-present
  • Weight 28 t
  • Capacity: 102 tons of boards, bricks, and prefab panels

Skins are simple blue, green, black, yellow, and red. Both originate in the United States and are available for USD.

Thanks to AlexDad and LovelyPL for the guides, and thanks to michaeldoll1996 for the help.

If you'd like to see another vehicle made, feel free to leave any suggestions. I'll be focusing (mostly) on Western vehicles that have been exported to Eastern Europe, and older equipment to help make early starts more fleshed out, especially pre-1960.

Very nice. I have these parked 500 feet away from my window as I write! Awesome!

Yes, I'll probably make something like that high capacity flat car, eventually. I have a trio of open hoppers completed that will probably get uploaded later. I also have a few grain hoppers and box cars that I need to finish up, they'll probably be on here later this week.

Ah, I just realized that I added a list of suggestions on one of your other items.

Suggestion:
65 ft log cars to bring the logs to the sawmill.
Also, covered hoppers (3 bay for crops, 2 bay for cement), bethgon coal gondolas, iron ore jenny's, tankcars, and 40 ft well cars for containers.

Very well, and will you make high-capacity platforms from the link that you presented?
