Transition Era Universal Freight Cars

If you've been paying attention to my freight car mods, you may have noticed they've all been exactly the same size. This mod is the reason for that.
This mod contains one car, the randomizer to rule them all. This car can carry any cargo type and the model of the car will change to whatever is appropriate: boxcar, gondola, tank car, or hopper. It will also choose a random skin. Every freight car in the image above is the same vehicle as far as the game is concerned.
Is this balanced? No. If the challenge of making money on harder difficulties is what you're looking for, this car is like a cheat code. If you just want to watch trains this car eliminates some of the tedium of matching car types to line rates in mixed trains and allows for natural variety in your trains between hubs that carry multiple cargo types. Every train that passes will be different!

As an amalgamation of my other cars, it has similar stats:

Top Speed: 65 mph
Capacity: 13
Cargo Types: All Freight
Weight: 25 tons
Available: 1920-1960

Note, you'll need all of my previous freight car mods to use this. No meshes are actually included with this mod, it's just a model which uses the parts of all of my other cars.
