BCH Coal Wagon tarped as Grain Wagon Version 1.0 April, 2010 Files by Brian Bere-Streeter During the peak of the wheat season each year on the NSWGR, it was a common problem to run out of available empty wheat hopper wagons to accomodate the bulk of the annual harvest. To help overcome the shortage of wheat hopper wagons, the NSWGR frequently resorted to cleaning a number of surplus BCH bogie coal hopper wagons for use for wheat transport, and once fully loaded with wheat they were then covered over with tarpaulins to weatherproof them for the trip to the coastal wheat terminals. Many contemporary photographs show BCH coal wagons tarped as wheat wagons mixed in with normal RU and BWH wheat hopper wagons in general block load wheat train Consists. As this was a common item to be seen in real life, I decided to make an equivalent for MSTS. The model included in this pack is simply a FreightAnim attached to a normal wagon shape file. To use this wagon you MUST HAVE the original BCH coal hopper wagons from Gavin McLaughlan - these are available for download from Steam4Me - http://msts.steam4me.net/freight/index.html This train model is released as Freeware. Copyright (C) Brian Bere-Streeter To install this wagon - un-zip the file to a TEMP folder, then copy all the files directly into the existing 'AU_nswgrBCH' folder in your Trainset installation. Once installed you can then add this new wagon to your wheat train Consists. Enjoy ! Brian Bere-Streeter
