A TCWW production by LNER Lover5 with input from many members of the TCWW Team. The idea here was to produce a standardised chassis and wheel set combination that could potentially form the basis for future UK rolling stock. The primary goal was to create something visually appealing yet versatile, which I believe has been accomplished. The secondary and arguably the more important goal is to seek performance benefits from using the same asset repeatedly, which the versatility aspect covers well, hence these wagons have been excellent to run in large quantities in testing. A desirable trait when we consider these have been designed with TS12 SP1 and T:ANE in mind. How it works? It's simply a mesh library that forms the bogey as well. Providing numerous parts as seen in the two above wagons. The library includes: Standard and larger self contained buffer sets Standard and Timken axle boxes 4 brake shoe and 8 brake shoe options with appropriate underframe detailing high vacuum equipment and low vacuum equipment (Or neither if one prefers unfitted stock) with appropriate underframe detailing Long or short tie bars between each wheel set optional cross members (the four bars seen below the base of the wagon body For coupling, the chassis makes use of Lielestosbrats excellent ACS mesh library, allowing a wagon builder to pick from a variety of coupler types.
