About this mod

Adds a British Rail 32.5t domestic coal hopper to the valley. Requires Custom Car Loader, installed using Unity Mod Manager.

The British Rail HEA wagons were 32.5t air-braked hoppers for domestic coal traffic. Just under 2000 were built in the 1970s at Shildon Works, and could be seen in service up until the early 2000s.

This model represents them in their late 80s to early 90s condition in Railfreight livery with offset ladders - I hope to add some more liveries and variations down the line.

The wagon can be loaded with coal, so plenty of them will spawn at the Coal Mine. It has LOD meshes to help your game run long trains.

To install:


This should show up on the UMM mod list when starting the game main menu as "BR HEA Hopper".

There are a few compromises currently due to current modding limitations:
  • The coal load weighs 56t instead of around 30, so these are very heavy when loaded
  • The handbrakes are wheels next to the levers. It doesn't make sense, but it's the best I can do for now.
