About This File

Simple few freight trains sitting on some track waiting for an engine to come get them. Dependencies - BSC mega props - JES vol 1

Transit enabled (only for track, trains will not travel through this)

Appears in the train menu

 

v4 - Uses PEG's Alternate rail set mod textures you can get the mod here

V3 - Now uses families to produce random trains for more diversity

V2 - Now includes 3 lots with different configurations

 

Credits

Jestarr for the wonderful train props

Peg for the rail textures/ mod

And anyone who DLed it for their support

and obviously me for putting it all together

You know since I can't get my industry to use freight trains, I may contemplate downloading this, just so I can actually see a freight train in my city. :) I like it!

1. You uploaded a RAR archive; some people have problems with this file. You need to re-upload it in ZIP format, you can do that with WinRAR as well. 2. When you spend quite some time making something that's ploppable, then why the heck don't you spend 30 additional seconds to fire up the game and snap a decent in-game picture instead of that blurry, shadowless LE preview?

to open .RAR archives use WinRAR (just put it in Google and you'll end up to a it's page). Easy, fast and safe.

I am going to update this tonight with some more lots with different trains and when I do I will get a better picture and change it to a zip. Glad to see it's liked!

I have to try this in game first , but if this is what I think it is, then it's wonderful and we surely could use some more to create diversity. You need to change the rar file to a zip file though....see STEXrules!

I like the idea, however instead of having a number of fixed cars, would it be possible to have randomly generated cars, so that each time you plop this lot it will look different. That would certainly add to realism.

I am working on more lots to add to this right now, more trains and some track puzzle pieces. If anyone knows of some good props let me know otherwise I am going to be making my own to add to this.

make a random family lot that makes a random number of random trains for each random plopping... randomly.

Could you possibly make one thats has subway & heavy rail passenger rails on them ? I was gonna make excatly what you made here..but got lazy. A passenger set would be great for people who make passenger train yards.

This is a very good idea -- have gone to download now. However, I spent a while looking around for the BSC Mega Props pack in the STEX to find it doesn't exist. You may consider editing the description to reflect this? For a future release, you could consider passenger trains?

I am going to be updating this lot in a few hours, I have made the lot generate random trains so all the lots will be different also I am working on the puzzle piece and once those are finished I will ad passenger trains to this for you people doing the passenger train yards. Also the dependencies is going to change with the update and will be included in the file.
