Guido73 Releases

What year were the auto flood cars introduced, please?

Good question, Johnstown American was the original manufacturer, later renamed Freightcar America. Near as I can tell the original Autofloods were built in the late 70's followed by the Autoflood II and Autoflood III but I haven't found a definitive timeline.

Thanks for your answer.

They look good behind BN SD70macs, so its good to know it prototypical

Based on best available information from new builds tables, Autoflood II were built between 1997 and 2004 from Johnstown America and 2003-2008 from Freightcar America, and Autoflood III between 2000 and 2005 (JA) and between 2004 and 2009 (FA).

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately that puts them a little out of my time frame.
 
somewhat off-topic but someone told me that RRMods is working on an update to the TOFC trailers that used to be on the website. Any news on it?
 
There is no truth to that, sorry. Eventually when i have time i might re-upload the old ones on our new site but for now there is no new updated mesh in the works.
