You must have ESP. I was thinking that and just copied the logo for that purpose. I do hope I wont be getting into any trouble for using the site logo.

Yet another box car set. Again, using the new file name format.

 

[Trolca 15]

And the last set for the night. A set of very weathered box cars.

 

[Trolca 15]

I thought I'd post a larger version of my new Avatar.

these mods are so great trolca, keep this up. what r u planning on next? maybe you could make the engines have CSX (the railroad not the lot maker)paint schemes, CSX SD40 . that would be cool.

I'll try something like that but first I need to modify the freight engines so the logo on one side isn't the mirror image of the other. It might take a little while. Maybe a week or two.

I have a screeny of an 8 car including caboos freight train which i will upload if some one can tell me how :|

for you infomation
freight station operating at 62% of cappacity and pic was taken during the early night freight rush you may have to hang around some to see one as only 1 in 15 or so freight trains are 8 cars at this level they are only dispached from a freight staion

[Equinox 1,209]

Hmm, Trolca, looks real nice!  Just posting to commend you on your idea of doing each new texture separately.  Good idea for picky freaks like me who don't download anything unless it's perfect.

[Trolca 15]

This is the last set of box cars I'll do for a while. I'll be focusing on new freight engines next. I thought I would have fun with this one, I hope no one takes offense.

There is six instead of the normal five. Again the file name reflexs the car numbers. 109B30 to 109B35.

[Diablo 0]

HAHAHA, I love them!!! Must download when I get home from work!

[Trolca 15]

One thing about my mods. Alot of detail is lost in the game. I am hoping that Rush Hour will have the extra zoom I heard about so more detail can be seen.

[Trolca 15]

Here is three new freight engines with the Right Rail logo. I corrected the mirroring problem so that printing on both sides appear correctly.

 

Here is the full size engine.

Here is the smaller version of the first one.

The last is what I call a switching engine.

 

Here are a few screen shots.

 

I'll be making other color schemes using this combination.

First you need to be in Rich Text. There should be a yellow button on the left that says Rich Text. after clicking on it you should have a number of new buttons along the top of the post. One is for uploading images. It looks like a picture of mountains and maybe the sun. Its next to the A with the red bar under it. Click on the Image upload button and follow the directions.

Whoa!! imoralized...... thanks trolca......

As promised here are a cupple of screenys of an 8 (including cabos) Freight Train:  NB Sorry bout the colour maping had to cut and paste to a gif as i dont hav jpg software

[iwas13 1]

this doesnt much have to do with train mods, but it does have to do with rails.

Anyway, if everyone would be so kind to open there Simcity 4 box and look into the corner picture with the airport and stuff, do u notice how the tracks there are covered underneath in either cement or grass...unlike those actualy in the game?? its just that they would look much better like that in downtown areas rather then the dirty underneath that we actualy get. And also, in the other picture across from it on the lefthand side, the tornado has cars and stuff in it!!! however..again..not in the game..its sorta decieving

Those box-cars are nice,wait,is the new amtrak train for download or does it have problems?

[goti-fish 0]

heres a thorght would it be posible to add a cabose to the pasinger train? so that you could have a tralling unit?

(Those box-cars are nice,wait,is the new amtrak train for download or does it have problems?)

 

I'm sorry I jumped the gun on posting the new Amtrak set. After spending most of the day I realized the cars in the previous set are as long as they can be without odd behavour.

 

(heres a thorght would it be posible to add a cabose to the pasinger train? so that you could have a tralling unit?)

 

I looked into this idea once but I wasn't able to get anywhere with it. I'm still keeping it in mind though.

 

Again, I wish I could remove the post for the Amtrak upgrade. It works fine on strait horizonal and vertical track but not diagonals and curves.

[disk_error 38]

PM an admin they can probably remove the file for you.

Excellent work on the trains Trolca they look great.

I can remove the single post which includes the file, but not just the file itself.... do you wish for me to delete both?

Please remove both, thanks.

After wasting alot of time on the Amtrak project I switched back to the what I'm calling the box car fun pack. I added a few cars and upgraded one.

This was originally one mod but because of its size I had to split it. The image is both mods. The second one will be in the following post.

                      First pack                                             Second pack

[Trolca 15]

Here is the second part to the previous post.

[Equinox 1,209]

ROFLMAO!  These are so great!  Is there any way we can install only one additional boxcar?  Like let's say I just want the SimTropolis boxcar to appear additionally in the game.  What should I do?

First of all you would need the reader by ilive. Open the DAT file in the reader. Browse the FSH files. There's an option to remove files when you right click. To remove a car, you want to remove the FSH along with the 3DM and Exemplar with the same Instance number. The Instance numbers are in the far right column.
