Generic British Wagons & Brake Van

Description
IMPORTANT! Please note this is intended to replace my earlier British Brake Vans mod and is therefore incompatible. I just chose to leave the original mod up in case some of the decisions made with this version of the mod weren't to everyone's liking.

Generic British Wagons & Brake Van

This series of freight wagons is intended to be representative of some of the types of freight wagons common on British railway networks throughout the age of steam. All versions of the wagon can carry all types of freight, allowing you to mix and match wagons to create a more irregular looking train to better reflect the look of UK freight and goods trains.

Features

Comes complete with:
-Four variants of open wagon,
-One covered wagon, complete with animated doors,
-One brake van,
-Aging,
-Colour tinting,
-Group menu in rail depot to reduce clutter,
-Placeable rail assets, with both empty and filled wagon variants with each cargo type

Stats

Available: 1850-1950
Top Speed: 96 kph
Weight: 5T
Capacity: 7 of any freight type.

Requests and Feedback

Constructive feedback is always welcome, and I love reading your comments, so if you have any notes on what I can improve, or just want to leave a nice message, by all means please leave a post below! However, I'm not currently taking requests - I've already got a shortlist of about a dozen different projects I'm working on - so if you have a locomotive or vehicle you desperately want to see in game, it's best to leave a post in the Workshop forum for other modders to see and consider for their own future projects. :)

@excr: the v3 mod replaces this, yes

Is this replaced by the V3 mod, or are they compatible?

UPDATE: Added some extra placement functionality. Assets will now be able to be tilted using the o,p,[, and ] keys.

Hey Gr1m, loving these wagons. Is there any chance of getting a tank variant as well? I know that I can load liquids as barrels into them, but I'd love to be able to have tank wagons in my fleet as well.

They look great!
ANd they are overly profitable due to being fast and light. Could you please make an option so they are in par with vanilla wagons of the same era and capacity, thus going at 50 kmh and weighing 10 tons?

Oh awesome! Glad to hear it :D

I've found the problem, I had left the original brake van selected. I removed original mod then started the game, ignoring the red warning. Game loaded OK! :steamhappy:

@Norfolk_Chris: I can't seem to replicate the issue on my end. I haven't even seen that bug before while making this, so I'm not sure. I'll keep trying to replicate the issue, but it might be worth loading up a new game with the mods you use and seeing if it creates the same issue or something.

I've had a problem with my game crashing when I try to load it. The only changes to any mods yesterday was to this mod.

"Error message:
Group" has 2 materials but mesh has 1 groups
This error is usually caused by modding. Some resources contain semantically incorrect data."

Has anything you changed that could cause this? I used both wagons and assets from this mod last time I played the game

UPDATE: The covered wagons doors are now fully animated and cargo will visibly load into them like the other wagons. In addition, I've added variants of the covered wagon as placeable assets with their doors open and the cargo visible inside. Mix and match with the 'empty' version (which has the doors closed) to add a bit more visible spice to your freight yards!

All of the placeable assets have also been slightly adjusted to that they line up slightly better as well.
