Train Mods

[Trolca 15]

Why is it that I have...um...lemme see...bayline, conrail and CP, but 90% of all trains have CP engines? referrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600">ath o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f">ath>I havent got any of the ones that replace the original 10AA00 engine.>>

Check the IDs in the file names, I'm guessing you have multiples with the same ID. I'll make some updates some time so fewer engines and cabooses share IDs.

I love the amtrak...is it an FP40? I dunno...the one with the bonnet >>

I use to know a little about models, classes, types, etc, of engines and rolling stock but I hadn't been involved with trains for a long time. I just search for images and try to duplicate what I see, more or less.

Also, I downloaded the platform lot off the LE, but while it doesn't handle any passengers per se, its just there for effect, the little track detecting machines (or in my case thanks to your mod, engines (all CP for some reason?) appear on each one....it kinda hampers the passenger train movements...>>

Even though there are four different track checker duplicates, there are only two unique ID numbers, remove one CP Rail and one Bay Line so that the ones remaining don't have the same ID.>>

P.S. whats next on the list?

I'm not sure, maybe a few of the oldest requests.

By the way, here is the box car sets for Rocky Road. This is the first of three. The first set is five 40ft box cars, the second is five 50ft box cars, the third is two cars that replace the original box cars.

[Trolca 15]

Here is the 50ft box car set.

[Trolca 15]

These box cars replace the original ones with one 40ft and one 50ft box cars.

 

Here are the sides of two of the cars from the first set.

These are interesting, to say the least.  I would like just plain old red boxcars or cattle cars, to tell the truth, but I am fine with what everybody else likes.  And Frog Face, thank you for uploading your Commutex Train.  I really like it.

As in no road name at all? I have the plain skin version for nearly every engine and car I made.

 

Here is the caboose pack for Rocky Road.

 

This is ID 10A800, it replaces the original caboose.

This one had ID 10A820. It can be used with all previous cabooses.

Trolca, you've seen these?

No I haven't. Thanks for posting this. Anyone that likes European trains should look at this site. The quality is extreamly good.

very nice Trolca, I like Amtrak the best but it would be very kool if you could make the communtex train a separate train too thnx

[ALTX 40]

I hope this helps you Trolca, I assembled your latest Amtrak Engine with the latest Train Cars

I wish it was possible as well. If some one could even point me in the right direction on this it might help.

[ALTX 40]

Trolca I am currently trying to creat separate trains for the game, its a work in progress but

 

 

This would be you amtrak Train, for some reason i can add new trains but they just don't repont to the correct textures

Would you mind sharing what process you're using? I very much would like to see this completed.

 

Here are the engines to finish the Rocky Road set. 10AA00 replaces the original freight engine, 117900 replaces the steam engine. 10AA30 and 10AA31 should not conflict with any previous engines I made.

Basically just Instance number editing trolca

[DonD13 0]

Awesome mods Trolca! I am a train nut and love seeing all the variety of engines and rolling stock you've produced. A quick question:

Will the addon boxcars, etc. work with Rush Hour? For example the Simtropolis set (Buggi, Dirk Direct, Turtle track, etc.) Sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't find anything about it in skimming through the pages of this post.

Thanks, and keep up the great work,

Don

I almost always change the Instance numbers but I still can't have for example Amtrak trains running along with Metro trains without the cars being mixed between the two. That is what I thought you was refering too, Amtrak cars only linked to Amtrak engines and Metro cars only linked to Metro engines. If this could be done, unit trains could be made for freight as well.

Yes, I had made some minor changes to them but the originals work fine. The main problem was the engines. I'll post the updated cars some time.

 

My next project will be either Long Island railroad or Acela followed by River Haven

[Equinox 1,209]

I personally would like to have three trains at once in my cities: the Commutex one (kudos, Frog Face!), the original Amtrak one by Trolca, and the French TGV modified to be a much nicer color scheme all to run simultaneously.  I hope if you get this figured out, you can enlighten us on how to do it.  But...are you sure it's possible?

ACK!! Well I figured out how to make the Communtex, Amtrak, and the original Passenger Train to coexist but........

Its a work in progress, now all I have to do is figure out how NOT to randomize the boxcars for the passenger trains.

They can coexist the same way different freight road names I've made do. The hard part is keeping each road name separate from one another. I think the only way that can happen is if there's a new Group number.

[Ma8thew 77]

If you work out how to get differant trains to co-exist, a tutorial should be released so we can 'pick and mix and modd' the trains we want.

well i would as soon as i figure out a way to stop the cars from randomizing...

I seen it before I read this post. Please do proceed.

 

I'm hoping you don't mind sharing how this came about as well.

 

This could even lead to other things like making car props parked diagonally.

Fire truck props to go with fire stations.

I hate to say it trolca, but I'm not going to be d/ling any passenger sets until an answer has been found to whether we can have seperate individual passenger sets...I downloaded some of the euro sets off is it SimCityCentral?? I can't remember, I got the link of this thread; but anyways, the random passenger cars looked awful together...

EDIT: p.s. If the passenger cars issue does get resolved, does it also mean the idea of single type car freight trains has also become possible?

Next time edit your own post instead of double posting to finish your thought or to add something else.  Thank you.

The only thing I can say is pick which set you like the best and get rid of the rest. I would think that will still be better than the original Maxis set.

EDIT:

I would think that would be correct. The same basic principles would apply to both.

Next time edit your own post instead of double posting to finish your thought or to add something else.

Thank you.

I'm sorry but I'm confused on your last comment. To my knowledge I haven't been double posting.

Most Likely That was added by a moderator since probably addax double posted......but most likely im wrong

[addax61024 6]

probably Aronion - i didnt write it...but there was nothing else I could have done seeing as the thought occured to me after the original post had appeared on the thread.

Aha, I understand now...I've never used that edit post button before, will do in future

[Equinox 1,209]

Can you possibly make a boxcar that  does not replace the originals with the SimTropolis logo on the side?  A black background would be nice ... *hint hint*   I prefer a boxcar, but an engine that doesn't replace the originals would be excellent as well.

 

P.S.  Let's stop the accusations and get back to the trains!

[wisher 0]

Has anyone done any mods for the el-trains with differnt paint schemes?

[Equinox 1,209]

Trolca has not gotten to that yet, but he says he "will soon".  Try reading previous posts. 

 

I believe he is planning to work on a monorail texture first.  I'd keep your eyes peeled over at SimCity Central, though, they seem to be doing a lot of new vehicles and textures lately. 

[SkyTearer 10]

I gotts question, for each one of these trains we download, do we just get that train or do we get origional, and all downloaded ones?
