This is a mod for RailRoad Tycoon 3 which adds a new car type to carry Bauxite.

Installation instructions:
First, be sure to back up the "Bauxite-" files that will be overwritten by the following procedure.

Extract the ZIP file and then move or copy the files into their proper locations.  
The following files go into your game's Data\CargoTypes folder: 
Bauxite.cty  (BACKUP FIRST!)

The following files go into your game's Data\EngineTypes folder:
Hbaux.cct
HbauxA.cgo
HbauxA.car
HbauxB.cgo
HbauxB.car
HbauxC.cgo
HbauxC.car
HbauxD.cgo
HbauxD.car


All other files go into you game's Data\UserExtraContent folder.

With this properly installed, your bauxite will be carried in open gondolas rather than hoppers, up until 1960.  After 1960, it will be hauled in short 2-bay covered hoppers.  I really wanted to create a gondola car, and this seemed the best candidate.  The heaped loads don't exactly match up with the gon sides (which are based on box-type cars), but they are pretty close.

Please note that any saved games you have will retain whatever train consists were on the rails when you saved, so you won't see these modded cars until after those trains visit a station and load up new cars.

Please note that some of the car bodies exhibit a mirror-image (backwards) skin on one side of the car; this is due to how the original 3DP file was created, and there is no way around it, other than to refrain from using lettering and logos, which I don't want to do.

Finally, if you are keeping your backup files within the same folder (i.e. just renaming "Iron.cty" to "IronBackup.cty") then things might not work properly.  I strongly recommend keeping all your backups somewhere else.
