Ore hoppers

Hi, I'm looking for a hopper that can carry gold ore and coal but cannot seem to find it on CM.
Any help?

You can add the Gold commodity kuid to any rolling stock config file ... But I would assume that gold ore was loaded in very small push tipper hoppers out of the mines, where it was locally smelted down into ingots, then transported to brokers or banks.

30ng 4-ton ore car <KUID2:124060:15033:3>

V & T 8-ton ore car <KUID2:124060:15016:5>

36 Ore Wagon loaded <KUID2:67261:15003:1>

Kipplore lang <KUID2:83902:1010:2>

If you can find a hopper (and there are quite a few either built-in or from the Download Station) that is configured to be texture replacement you can configure it in the session layer to carry any bulk load.

This video (best watched full screen and in HD) will walk you through the process:


One hopper that you might like to try is the animated side dumper I uploaded a couple of days ago. Search with "philskene" as the author.

Tell us if this helps.

-What version of trains is it? I use TS Mac 1.

P.S. Thanks anyway.

TS12. Setting up additional loads should work in the Mac version which is equivalent to TS10? I've used that process since '04 days.

" ... the animated side dumper ... " is TS12. If it does not work for you I'm sure there many others that are configured to be texture replacement.

You will soon discover if a freight car is not texture replacement. You will add a different load, for example scrap iron, but it will still show as coal.

How do you know if a wagon is configured to be texture replacement? I've found a few modern hoppers that would be excellent iron ore hoppers, but the load always looks like simple ballast/aggregate.
