1950's Automobile Transport

[betsy662]

Has anyone out there made a 1950's era auto transport? I got to downloading the 59 Chevrolet's from Dinorius_Redundicus, some of these are set up for product loads on various rolling stock, I have been able to get some on flatcars, but was wondering if anyone had done any of the racks that would have been seen in 1959...:wave: :wave:

Tume has a couple of builtins for TS2009/2010:
MILW-Autorack-3-Open-L-01,<kuid2:82412:300117:1>
MILW-Autorack-2-Open-L-01,<kuid2:82412:300118:1>

These are built in to TS2009?
I can't find it there or anywhere else. ( DLS, Google, Dogpile)
I am creating SP/WP Stockton to Milpitas California circa 1962 and it includes the Fremont GM plant and the Milpitas Ford plant. I sure could use these cars.

 

[rweber95]

OOPS, my bad. They're only in TS2010. You might contact Tume and see if he'll send them to you.

BTW what route is that?

 

[rweber95]

Ironbound Industrial,<kuid2:106916:102086:1>. A small, but greatly detailed route. The kuid description says:
"A small fictional 4 baseboard urban switching route named after the Ironbound district of Newark, New Jersey..."

Okay, were any made for TRS2004/6?

 

[rweber95]

Not that I know of. I still think you should contact Tume to see if his cars are available for 2006 or 2004.

[kamran]

[whitepass]

I may make one but not soon.

 

[SuperFudd]

Tried Tume's email. it bounced.
Never mind. I found a US and an Australian car carrier on the DLS that will do for now.

 

[captainkman]

I know of one:
Autorack Open CN 740161(Without Spaces)
They are for TRS 2006

Hope this helps!

I am having a new 1960 version commissioned, so it won't be too long for a better detailed model.

Speaking of, what kind is it? cause I just let your Auto Rack Go before my RS-1 =D so I'd like to know what Kinda I have to haul around WITH said RS-1... =3

That's funny because I told him I didn't mind my autorack being bumped by the RS1. Looks like we both get 2 goodies. I replied today to say I didn't care when he started mine since I was expecting to wait, so we will see. The autorack will be based on a Frisco prototype from 1960.

Here is how it was done in the 1950's. Automobiles were shipped in Auto boxcars which had extra wide doors.

I am first time hearing about train car transporting. It is really old resource of transporting car and really interesting. I love it.
