This is a repaint of Machine Rail's IC Reefers which came with the Illinois Central 1923 Lima Mikado pack. Varients include reefers for beer (Miller, Old Style, Pabst, and Schlitz), dairy (Carnation, Dairymen's League, Land O'Lakes, and Wilson), general use (Armour, North American, Swift, and Union), meat (Dubuque, Hormel, Kingan, and Oscar Mayer), produce (FGE, Heinz, Union, and West India), and soft drink (Pepsi, Pluto, Sprecher's, and White Rock).
Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions:
- Download this repaint set's file from this page called "20th Century Freight Mega Pack Reefers.zip" and unzip the folder.

OK, the installation instructions are wrong. First off not everyone knows where these go. In your Machine Rail assets folder, find the Illinois Central 1500 Class Folder. The repaints go in the Freight folder of the rail vehicles folder NOT what is said above. Or, does that work? Never known it to work like that...... Some of you guys need to do a whole lot better when it comes to doing your readme. Many of you don't even provide any kind of installation instructions or what all is required. Sure it can be said no one reads the readme, but if you don't, good chance the item(s) won't work. Other than that, the reefers looks great.
I think you need to watch this video about installing reskins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOJYNckWD_0
As a hobby, I spend hours and hours making free content for the game for people like you to enjoy. It's not my job to hold your hand and teach you how to do a process that most people on this site know how to do. That being said, I will amend the instructions so that they are more specific.
I create my own stuff as well. Have been since 2013. I don't upload to any sites. It's for myself and friends who wish to have the content. I suppose we all install things using different methods. I DO know how to install reskins. None the less the link is wise for those that don't. Your way proabaly works, just not what I'd do. Doesn't mean yours is wrong. However you should always go by the idea that your target audence are newbies and don't know how to install stuff. A good detailed readme is ideal and it really doesn't take much time to write one up. It might seem redundant to you, but to me, I view it as a sign of being lazy.
Your updated readme is terrific. That's how I write mine.
Great work man! Keep it up.
Thank you!
These are great. Gave a promotion and and provided a link at RWA. BTW I love the Illinois Central: Iroquois Prairielands route.
Thanks a lot! New update coming soon.
