Ammunition Pack 02 - Ammunition Train
This ammunition prop pack includes a selection of ammunition rail cars and two small steam-powered shuttle engines. The rail cars consist of “box” cars, open “gondola” cars, and “flat” cars. The shuttle engines and railroad rolling stock have been meticulously researched from period photographs to guarantee authenticity, and are patterned after military railroads operating on the Western Front. The rail cars carry a variety of cargo – usually powder charges in the box cars – while the gondolas are loaded with either 5.9-inch shells, 11-inch armour piercing (yellow cap), or 11-inch high-explosive rounds (red cap). Some gondolas carry several different bagged powder charges and brass cased charges, while the flat cars are loaded with torpedoes. With a little imagination, you can devise a system allowing ammunition to be delivered to your base, stored in a safe manner, and then distributed to your fleet as needed.
How to use
This pack contains .SC4model-files and props as .SC4desc-files. So, by installing this pack nothing will directly appear in your game. You can use the props on your own lots or convert the SC4models into buildings, as you please. Since most props are to be used on water lots and props naturally align with the surface level, they will sink to the sea floor, if you do not stick to the guidelines on how to use props on water lots. Finally you will need to follow the instructions on how to make a lot transparent. You will find the props in any Lot-Editor under the prefix A_1P_h_
As per request from the community, I have also included a version of the ship without historic flags and crew.
Please visit @Dreadnought's CJ to get detailed descriptions and the historical backgrounds to these prop packs. You will see a wonderful display of the results of our long collaboration there and can get a preview of what might be hidden in the coming prop packs or simply get some inspiration for your own harbour!
