Need a flat for Cat 345D

[Gary_Evans]

I recently downloaded Majekear's Caterpillar 345D Product (kuid2:56063:700001:1) but I can not seem to find a flat car that will accept it as a load. Any suggestions?
Thanks Gary

Will it fit on "Flatcar 6 Axle Depressed Center Empty"?

I just searched the DLS for "depressed" and found several likely candidates, one looks like the one in the pic with the cat, possibly Phil's.

Thanks guys. I really like Phil's 6 axle depressed and that was the first I tried but alas it did not work .

Well, he seems to have one! I think I found it, try this- 86105:15120:2 Or 124585:15120

Phil's 6 axel flatcars are set up for predefined 20ft and 40ft containers that are listed within kuid:-3:10014 and kuid:-3:10041. To add the capability to load the 345D cat you have to do a simple edit to the flatcar's config.txt file as follows:
Existing queue section for load 0 includes:

queues
{
  load0
  {
    size                                1
    initial-count                       0
 
    attachment-points
    {
      0                                 "a.load_lower"
    }
 
    allowed-products
    {
      0                                 <kuid:-3:10014>
     }

edit to this:

queues
{
  load0
  {
    size                                1
    initial-count                       0
 
    attachment-points
    {
      0                                 "a.load_lower"
    }
 
    allowed-products
    {
      0                                 <kuid:-3:10014>
      1                                 <kuid2:56063:700001:1>
    }

save and commit. Now you can load containers or the cat.

Thanks a bunch Kent and Bob.
Bob: Chanfing the config is obviously the most practical if I were doing this for my benefit alone. However, I am one of those scenario creator guys and in order to use the six axle I would have to "reskin" Phil's creation so folks who downloaded my scenario could use it. But I think I have what I need now.

There is absolutely no need to edit the config.txt file.

Download this package:

Hi!

I am interested in the tutorial, but Rapidshare keeps eating my nerves with messages like
"You can only download it as a premium member.".
Is there an alternative source?

Nope.
