Train Mods

[Trolca 15]

       Could you make a Bi-level train like this.

 

       I'll be making bi-level cars for the Long Island Railroad. The ones in your image would be harder because of shape but I think I can do it. Those are very good images. They'll make the texturing easier.

I've got a little question. Where can I find the fsh data?

If the question already have been asked ,please show me where I can find the answer..

----------------

I don't recall which DAT file they're in but sort by Instance and look for numbers 10980000 to 10B10000. The steam engine is 8AE75A95.

Here's a caboose pack for the River Haven set.

Holy cow, that bi-level train is awesome! 

With a different skin (like FrogFace's Commutex train, I'm thinking), that would be absolutely perfect.

This might be something for me to do myself, as I don't think many others would want a neon train driving around. 

The other thing is a double-deckered monorail, but I can wait quite a while for that.

One other thing I'd like to see from somebody is a el-train/subway skin that isn't extremely dirty, that looks modern.

And Trolca, your River Haven set is excellent as well.  There's so much good stuff, too bad we can't have many sets.

How about making the Hogwart Express train from the Harry Potter Series?

[Yugioh 3]

now that may be cool to have the train off of the movie

[Trolca 15]

I hope everyone's not getting tired of River Haven. Here's another tanker car set. The five cars are extended in length.

What happened to the LIRR set? Can you finish it by Christmas? Maybe let it be a Christmas present. Just asking.

[Trolca 15]

The bi-level car should look something like this if I use the correct dimensions. I haven't created the skin yet. I think this will look odd taking the sharp turns in the game. Do you want it to be correctly proportional or should I shorten it some?

Here are some stats I got for it:

GAUGE 4' 8.5" (1,435 mm)
CAR LENGTH  85' (25,900 mm)
CAR WIDTH 9' 10.5" (3,010 mm)
CAR HEIGHT 14' 5.59" (4,410 mm)
CENTER DISTANCE (between trucks) 59' 4.6" (18,100 mm)

I think the proportions look about right if I visualize the lower set of windows...however, if you think it's a little long for the tracks, I wouldn't see the harm in shortening it a little.

[stp243 8]

I think that it should be shortened....it would probally look a little odd when taking the tight corners that come up in my cities.just my thoughts on it.

[eangulus 3]

Just incase nobody saw (seeing only one person commented on it)...

I would like to see the train, Hogwarts Express. Its the train form the Harry Potter Movies.

I wouldn't mind doing it, if it wasn't for the fact that currently there isn't a way to include the tender.

[Trolca 15]

I'm still working on the LIRR commuter train.

 

Here's extended box cars for the River Haven set.

When you make requests like this, don't assume others will know what you're talking about. Please explain what you are asking for.

[eangulus 3]

What do yo umean by "include the tender"

[kassarc16 4]

One question, T, can any two sets be used together?

As in, can any CP Rail and River Haven cars be used together?

Just the freight cars and engines. You usually see mixed trains, as least around where I live.

[Trolca 15]

Nearly all steam engines are followed by a special car called a tender. The tender carries the fuel for the boiler. Coal and wood are two common fuels used by steam engine.

In most cases yes. Every train mod will have a single or range of ID's. As long as no two mods have the same ID/ID's then there wont be any conflicts. In some cases the word original is in the file name instead of an ID. Only one mod for replacing an original engine or car should be used. (Example: only one mod should be used to replace the original box cars. Only one mod should replace the original caboose. Etc...)

[Trolca 15]

I'm not done with the LIRR commuter car yet. Here is what I have so far.

 

 

 

I have a question for those that want this mod. I'm going to try to better match the color scheme for the engine and cars. Which statement would you say is the most true.

1) The engine needs to be lighter to match the car.

2) The car needs to be darker to match the engine.

3) Both need to be changed to some shade in between.

 

Please let me know what needs to be changed.

[+Guest]

I think darker cars.  IMO the color of the engine is GREAT, but the cars....I don't like their color as much.

I think somewhere in between.  Actually, I think the color of the doors on the cars is closest to the actual color of the trains.  In looking at some more pics, I think the engine and cars are the same metallic color, its just that the engine's metal has a shiny finish and the cars are more of a matte finish.  I don't think that's something that would translate well to SC4.

this is catdog it is a cartoon there is your pic

[Yugioh 3]

this is catdog it is a cartoon there is your pic sorry about that i was not looking k

[stp243 8]

dude, you double posted, dont know why, but i wouldnt do it again..dont want a moderator on you do ya?
but anyway, trolca, the new LIRR commuter set looks fantastic. for the colors i think that the cars should be as dark as the engine.

p.s.--i love the new River Haven Box car set, just downloaded it. thanks.

[Equinox 1,209]

Probably just clicked on Submit twice, impatient, aren't ya? 

I think a darker shade would be good, but they look EXCELLENT from here.

No one mentioned a simpler solution to the problem of teh cars looking odd around curves: lengthen the curves! 

Yeah, yeah, I know this would be hard to do in some areas and that whole thing ...

[Edman_123 11]

I think that the rail capacity should be increased with hicher capacity cars. Maybe make add a capacity increasing modd to the package.

[Yugioh 3]

No offense dude, but your requests are, IMO, pretty stupid. And if you are going to request something, at least provide some info on what you want it to be like.

[Yugioh 3]
