Trolca, your work is absolutely fantastic.  It makes me proud to run railroad tracks through my cities now.  Hope you continue to post awesome work!

 

btw: I love the SD40. 

[Smurfer2 7]

Glad to see you back Trolca. We have missed you. (I know I have)

welcome back Trolca, your trains rock, i still use my soccer league one, although the logo has now changed  lol

[Fairlane500 8]

New cars can only mean one thing... you're back!

 

Again we can see the days of the Train Mod thread being a hot topic.

 

Just in time for my new railroading-based city.

[Trolca 15]

Here's a new frieght engine. I'll release it along with the previous cars in the next few days. I haven't found my ID spreadsheet so I need to make sure that I'm not using duplicate numbers. Before I do more I should package all of my previous work, each set with a readme file and possibly some images in it's own zip file.

 

Here's a closer look at the logo.

Hey Trolca I think what koala was trying to post was this:


Or it could be something like this
I hope this helps
PS: I tried to post this a while back and it failed due to errors.
PS Again:Good luck and have fun.

Smart idea, if they can't add a tender just make a docksider

I'll see what I can do with a steam engine like those some time.

For now, here are the four covered hoppers I posted on the previous page. There are two Coffee Farmer COOP cars in one DAT file. The Hog Wild Feed Co and the Chicago Northwestern are in separate DAT files. All four are in this attached ZIP file.

I'm having trouble with my SC4 install so I haven't been able to test these cars but it's just a texture and ID change so there shouldn't be any problems. They appear correctly in the Ilive Reader.

[Trolca 15]

Thanks to Swamper77's spreedsheat, I have a much better idea of what's been done. I still need to be careful with assigning ID numbers until the database is complete with used ID numbers.

 

For now, here's the American Union freight engine and a set of four boxcars. The engine is in its own DAT file. The four boxcars are in a single DAT file.

 

  

 

[Jarmst4571 0]

Very, Very nice. But no zip file.

[Trolca 15]

Sorry about the missing ZIP file for the American Union set. Here it is.

[Trolca 15]

Here's three fictional brand boxcars.

Big Blue Box

 

Busy Beaver Lumber Co

 

White Palm Freight

 

I'm going to start updating my previous sets and placing them in the STEX, starting with River Haven.

[Jarmst4571 0]

Excellent work. Looking forward to your updates when they are ready.

[Smurfer2 7]

Oooh, a docksider. Those things are awesome.

The American Union set looks good. It's another great piece of work to add to your resume.

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

wonderful work Trolca! Hey did you forget the Santa Fe trains?

[kassarc16 4]

Great to see you back Trolca. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[Trolca 15]

I found and corrected an error with the red Coffee Farmers covered hopper set. Here's the correction. If you're using this set, just replace the file RHCovHopCoffee Farmers01_11337830to40.dat.

 

Sorry about the error.

I didn't forget Santa Fe. I'll get back to it some time. I'm nearly ready to put the complete updated River Haven set in STEX.

For now here are some covered hoppers to replace the game originals.

[Trolca 15]

Here's images of some of the River Haven hopper set I made to replace the older shorter ones. I made a new coal texture as well. Does anyone feel I should go this route?

 

I should be able to release to updated River Haven set this weekend.

[Jarmst4571 0]

Yes, I think you should. Very nice car's and textures.

[woelfwynde 20]

Can't we have both? I like the short ones too, as well as the newer ones seen in the pics. In RL, we see both kinds anyway.........

[Trolca 15]

I'll keep the older short ones as well. Thanks for the responces.

[Fairlane500 8]

Trolca-

Everything is looking great. Can't wait for the updated River Haven. You done any work on an F-unit diesel yet, just wondering?

[MC6Ash 4]
