Off the top of my head, rolling stock circa 1950, in general terms, would have been:
Boxcar - Presently using lilb's 40' boxcars from JointedRail
Flatcar - Presently using lilb's from JointedRail
Gondola - Presently using lilb's from JointedRail
Tank Car - I assume a 39ft or 40ft but I haven't found one yet
Trailer On Flat Car - JR has these in TS12 already
Coal Hopper - I assume the USRA 55 tonners were still in commmon use at the time
Covered Hopper - Got a few from JR but they look too modern I think
Caboose - I insist on an interior so I have one from RRMods, it's good enough, but I wish it matched up with JR's rolling stock.
Now, for me, lilb's freeware represents my 'baseline' for the bare minimum. Not that his cars are bare minimum at all, just that in 2012 I feel like animated hoses, sounds, auto running numbers, etc should be on all cars.
Needless to say this makes finding matching rolling stock is a little hard. Of course I expect someone will pop in a suggest some car with no details, blury textures, and couplers that look like 2 cubes - but that's what I'm trying to avoid.
I'm largely asking because I don't have an FCT, otherwise I'd 'audition' some cars myself.
Thanks in advance for your consideration, and special thanks to lilb for his awesome work creating the great freeware rolling stock he has already.
