NG Conoco Tank Car

Todd made a weathered one for Trainz build 1.3. I don't remember what the errors were but I have it working in both TRS19 and TANE. In fact, I have all his stuff working in TANE. Fixing errors isn't that hard and it is a useful skill to develop if you are interested in NG stuff. Here is the link to his page with the old stuff.
Hey! That's great! I'm a buddy of Todd's off the forum and asked if he would be willing to have his stuff re-released if credit is given. Would you be willing to do that if I get his nod of approval? It's a shame to have all his stuff locked in the boneyard. I'm too old and not bright enough to get it going. Tried many times!
First... THANKS!... I don't think I ever looked in his old-old (pre '04) stuff, and there they were. But then they came up faulty in '19. Apparently it's the bogey's blocking it up. I think there was some chatter a while ago about a fix... remove this line, add this tga...
Got 'em both. Both look great! They had a bogey error. Something to do with shadows. So I just swapped them out with Trainz Forge's "3ft Cinder Car" trucks. Perfect fit and looks great. Thanks again for pointing me to his early stuff. I probably never would have looked there.

They have no loads, so you'd need to add the queues to the config for the oil commodity.
That and an attachment point (a.load0) for the commodity, with Attachment Maker. Not a biggie when placing as it's an invisible load.
Togog is very easy with modifying his rolling stock if you want permission to upload. Just PM him.

Thanks Rico! I have Todd's in '19 but I'll certainly check them out and I can tell you easily why I didn't see them...I looked for CONOCO, never thinking to look for CONX... I plead "senior moment"...LOL... Thanks again!@rick1958 >> There are 4 on the DLS by togog, how did you miss those LOL.

Most of the fixes are pretty simple. Often with errors in the shadow folder you can just remove the lines in the config that reference the shadow mesh and delete the shadow folder. They aren't needed in new versions of Trainz. Back then the renderer didn't do shadows so a fake flat mesh was made to ride under the car to look like it was the shadow. Modern versions generate shadows so the old shadow meshes aren't needed any more.
