UTLX Tank Pack for MSTS1
Model and textures by Tim Muir
Cloning, re-numbering and added weathering effects by Steven D. Myers

This zip file should contain five seperate UTLX tank cars in their respective folders. The model by Tim Muir is the standard gauged, frameless tank car previously uploaded to Elvas Tower, but now upgraded with Tim's Andrews trucks. I believe the arch-bars on the original model were banned from interchange service by 1941. The Andrews trucks qualify the tanks for interchange service on our 1940s and 50s routes. All I did was make some copies, re-number to five indiviual cars and add a few moderate weathering effects to give each car a slightly different appearance.

To Install...

Using Winzip, open UTLX_TankPac, then in the Actions pulldown choose Select All, then click the Extract button. As I've copied the full path information, enter C:\ in the Extract To: window. Be sure "Use Folder Names" is checked. Then Extract. The five seperate folders should be installed in your Trains\Trainset folder, assuming your MSTS1 is installed in the default location. Alternatively, you can Select All, Extract To a temp directory of your choosing. Be sure "Use Folder Names" is checked. Navigate to the five folders, then copy or cut and paste to your Trainset folder. Some prefer that method anyway.

Use your consist editor to create your tank car train.

Many thanks to Tim Muir for this beautiful model.
