North American smooth side ("Gunderson type") container cars for Microsoft Train Simulator, version 2 (final version). The car is a "double stacker", so it carries two containers on top of each other. The well is 48 foot long but 53-foot containers can be carried on top of a 48- or 45-footer. This pack includes 20 different cars painted in the livery of TTX Company, one empty and 19 with a variety of loads made up of US/Canadian domestic 48 ft and 53 ft containers from different companies. I will release separate packs with the shorter 45 ft, 40 ft and 20 ft containers, and with international containers.

TTX Company (which is jointly owned by the major US and Canadian railroads) own large numbers of freight cars that can be used by any of the railroads so they're equally at home behind virtually any contemporary US or Canadian locomotive.

Physics (car performance) in the .wag-file modified by Bob Boudoin in order to give it a more life like performance than that provided by Microsoft/Kuju.

This model is freeware. You can use it for free for your enjoyment, but you CAN NOT sell it, lease it, use it for barter or trade or use it in any other way where you make money off of it without my written consent (which BTW would cost you mucho dinero). The fact that I've decided to give it away as freeware does NOT in any way affect my copyright. It's free as in you not having to pay for it, but IT IS NOT FREE AS IN MEANING THAT YOU CAN TAKE IT AND TRY TO PASS IT OFF AS BEING YOUR MODEL, OR YOUR TEXTURES! If you steal my 3D-model or my textures I WILL find out, and I WILL notify each and every train-sim forum on the net that you are a scoundrel and a thief and cannot be trusted. If you steal my stuff in order to make money from it I WILL take you to court and sue you for every penny you make off it. And don't forget that the copyright also applies to the container textures. You can repaint the car or the containers, using my textures as a base for your own textures, provided you give me credit for my work.

And please do it in such a way that your repaints don't overwrite my original container cars. If you don't know how to do that then don't upload your repaints anywhere.
