Disneyland Mark VII Monorail  1.0

About This File

This is the latest model of monorail running at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. I originally bought SimCity 4 because I love monorails and Disney so much but never seemed to find any mods for them. This is my first attempt at making a mod or anything for SimCity 4, so it may be a bit rough, but I thought I'd post it to get some feedback on what I can improve.

 

To give credit where it's due, I used Oppies model file as a base.  From there, made a lot of modifications for the different nose shape and the custom skin. I'd welcome any feedback, especially how I can get a custom sound in to replace the default horn. This model isn't endorsed by the company, just my own work as a fan.

 

The files are zipped and should be installed in the plugin folder. Hope you enjoy!

I agree with redscope53, the nose of the frontcar it could be a bit rounder. Nether less, the design is great :-)

If you can make the nose rounder, please oh please do and update it! 5/5 even as-is though. When I first heard about monorails in SimCity *this* was what came to mind, being the Disney freak that I am, too. After 7 years of disappointment, and not one custom model even coming close... THANK YOU!

If it adds to, not replaces, I'll love you forever. If it doesn't, I'll still love you forever, just not as strongly. 5/5 Maybe you could do the blue and orange one too?

Grew up near Disneyland and the first thing I wanted to ride was the monorail, always rode in the front car near the bubble.Would it be possible to make a Mk IV with the bubble on the roof? Oh yeah, the Mk IV's in the sixties wore the Santa Fe Railroad logo on the lead car.

Wow!! Well, to give you something constructive, the tewtures are maybe just a little to "matte" (cant find the word, but i think you get what I mean...). Still amazing for a first-timer 5/5!!

Thanks for the great comments and constructive feedback. My next step will be to work on rounding out the nose, I'm learning how to use gmax better :). Once I have the shape down, I'll work on refining the textures and then may later release blue and orange. The skin is a composite developed from photos of the actual monorail, so the more I can find the mroe detail I can add. Did anyone find the hidden Mickey? :D

I like it, but why did you make it so long? I mean the default monorail is only half the size of this one.

Does it overwrite the previous model? If so please have it so it is an add-on monorail so they could either be the default, other monorails, or your monorails. Not downloading it until this happens, but still it looks like a great mod.
