    (HEA should be all capitals, but thread title filters prevent that. Come on forum people, fix that...)

    This is a fantastic question, I think. Fastline Simulation has a couple packs of HEA Wagons, but their Web site is currently down and there is suspicion they are ceasing operations. Stuff on Steam is safe (for now), but their online store has some items that are not available on Steam. I did find some VDA Wagons in the WHL South DLC, so that's covered for unfortunate people who can't get them. I also found HAA Wagons in a couple of places including the original game models of them. The 102t TEA wagons can possibly be substituted with the Class 70-included ones and reskins of those, some on UKTS. However, there is not a single HEA coal wagon referenced in a single manual for a single DLC sold through Steam. One might suggest Armstrong's MGR pack, whick has HBA, HCA, HDA, and HFA...but no HEA.

    So my question today: are there HEA wagons I have not found gleaming from within some DLC on Steam? Or are the Fastline ones really the only option here? And if that is the case, what are the odds they can come to Steam, or DTG can produce them? If Fastline's store does go away and people cannot get the HBA/HEA pack, that will be a hole unless someone like AP picks up the pack and puts out their own version of them.

    FYI I believe that these were introduced in late 2013 (as HBA_HEA Hoppers not wagons per se) so they are likely to be fairly basic and they are the only ones that I found.
