Bogie fuel tanker of NSWGR. From 1929, when this tanker type entered service, to the 1950s, these wagons had buffers and were coupled using 3-link chains.
This model is based on kuid:61119:1526> 'NSWGR/Shell 9000Gal Tank Wagon'. Nathan Van Der Meulen (natvander) has permitted this rework and release of the results. Thank you, Nathan.
The rework entails removal of original couplers and hoses, and their replacement by meshes referenced from <kuid:368725:17000> 'Mesh library of NSWGR buffers, couplers and hoses'.
The couplers and hoses in the library have meshes to represent the idle and coupled states. A new script detects the coupled status at each end of the wagon and substitutes the appropriate meshes from the library.
