How to "paint" containers for EU and US?

As you know all containers in RW are painted just in 3 flat colors. I want them to be more real life looking. Can someone please share a link to a high quality add-on that can do it for me? All I was able to find so far is FSA Container Flat paint upgrade by David Hossack (
http://uktrainsim.com/filelib-info.php? ... leid=22662). I value works of David very high but this pack as I see does not contain containers and is about wagons only... I would be really happy with add-on of the same quality as David's works and what he put on pic for this set looks very nice. Well... I was not able to find this pack for containers.
Also - I don't know if US containers are the same as EU. If not maybe there is a high-quality add-on for US too?
Are these add-ons okay for RW3?
P.S. There is one add-on I also managed to dig out -
http://uktrainsim.com/filelib-info.php? ... leid=26142 (KRS US - Euro Container & Wagon Update Patch) but this is only patch and I was not able to find add-ons mentioned in that patch.

After installing everything do a Clear Cache in the Railworks Launcher (Tools & Docs tab).
Enjoy!

You can find packs of ISO containers on NewS's website, he's getting some new Scandinavian containers out for the community soon -
http://www.klemund.de/RailSimulator/downloads.html
I'd also recommend you obtaining the truck packs if you don't already have them, it's all freeware.
As you appear to be a new member, this game has now been out for over 2 years, and lots of creators have modelled content for us that you may not find in the UKTS library, particularly our Railsimming friends around Europe, Russia and China, they have their own websites, and 99% of the assets they release are of an excellent standard and enhance our routes superbly well.

Thank you for info!
About truck packs - do they replace some default content or I'll have to put them here and there by myself?

Hello,
The truck packs are fairly new, so, I don't think you have them already, unzip the rar folder and inside is a .rpk, which is the Rail Simulator equivalent to the .rwp for Railworks and it installs the same way, through your package manager, and a folder will appear in your Assets section called NewS. Get both packs, there are a lot of 'European" companies with their logos on the sides of the lorries, but, there are also others, such as DHL, UPS, etc, that can be put on any British route, it's all good stuff, and it's free....
Come back on here if you have any further queries.
