I've uploaded the River Haven set in STEX. I'm not sure how when it'll be available for download.

 

Here's a few upgrades/additions to the set

Trolca ... AMAZING WORK! I'm in love with trains (H-O collector) and enjoy adding the fun to SC4!

I have a small request... just for vanity's sake. Could you make a auto carriage (the kind used to ship new autos) with markings CapriTeam on the sides? www.capriteam.com You'll see it's all about our 1993 Mercury Capri. Can't remember who (but credit is given on the site) but someone made a UDI 93 Capri for me. Would just like to have a mention on the rail lines, too!

This is not a priority request... and if you're too busy, put it on the back burner.

Thanks!

(Off thread, but if someone is making billboards, could they do one with our address on it? /tjb)

It was me who made the UDI 93 Capri. I still remember the hard time I had finding photos to create a skin for it....

Those additions are great Trolca....

 

While I'm on the subject, would it be possible to make a mod to either remove the track checkers or make them act like normal trains? I hate when my trains get caught up because those things stop right in the middle of a junction.

I'm pretty sure the track checkers behavour is determined by the game EXE file. All I can do is change its appearance or even make it invisable but then trains would be stopping for no appearent reason.

wow! those are nice train cars.

[Jarmst4571 0]

Very well done. As for the track checker's, maybe they could be made to look like the typical yellow track maintenance vehicles but on a slightly larger scale. Just a thought. Keep up your great work.

[Fairlane500 8]

Nice to see some considerations still given to the `ol River Haven set.

 

It's still used in my cities, I'm even thinking of getting rid of everything but it.

 

Can't wait to see what's next.

 

BTW: Which pages are the Bay Line sets on?

I looked up the parent cohort of the standard track checker. Its parent cohort is the subway cohort, which probably explains why it stops dead at junctions. I used one of Trolca's short freight engines as a base for making a new track checker. I left the parent cohort of the freight engine in and the checker doesn't stop dead at junctions or get reversed in the middle of the track anymore. I used one of the River Haven short engines for the mod. The mod is attached and is completely self-contained. All of the skins and models are included. It just replaces the track checker, nothing else.

Hey Trolca, could you replace the passenger engine with a blue freight engine? Thanks.

So you just want a plain blue freight engine pulling passenger cars? Would you want a road/company name?

Thanks for the modified track checker Swamper77. Maybe for cities that doesn't have passenger or freight service, the track checkers could be converted into trolly cars. Even if they didn't carry passengers it'd be something different visually.

Fairlane, I'm not sure what pages the Bay Line set is on but I hope to upgrade and post all of my sets on the STEX sooner or later.

tjbryant, I'll look into the the Capri auto carrier.

Not exactly, I would like it also to have white stripes on it, just like the default cars.

[Trolca 15]

Here's a boxcar set with fictional company names. Each car has its own file.

  

  

  

 

[Jarmst4571 0]

Very nice car's but no files. Keep up the good work that you are doing.

[Trolca 15]

For some reason the attached file is lost when I edit the post. That is most likely why it happens so often.

 

Here's the file for the eight cars.

Uhmm Trolca, have you forgotten my request?

I should be able to get to it fairly soon.

Your work is absoultely awesome, and I currently use several of your train modds. However I would like to make a few requests:
A VIA rail passenger train set
A Toronto Transit Commission el/subway set
If you could get around to it, I would be greatly appreciative.
Keep up your excellent work!

[Fledgeling 1]

They are absolutly great! if i wanted to download the newhaven train set, coul i do that straight, or would i need other mods first to get them to work?

None of my train mods rely on other mods to work correctly. Any combination of DAT files from the River Haven set can be used. If you don't want to use the whole set, you don't need to.

Edit: I've had some troubles (The Sims 2 killed my system, sort of. I got sick. While trying to reinstall Windows, my system was hacked and ended up as sick as me.) the last week but I should be completing some requests soon.

I'm not sure I should try to install The Sims 2 again or not. It's alot of effort just for a wacky screen saver.

Edit take 2:

I was taking a look at STEX and noticed the stats for the River Haven train set.

views: 754 | downloads: 260 | rating: pending (3)

With such a big rush to vote, I hope nobody gets hurt.

This the first time I have ever used the Insert a smilie. I think I should end this post before start placing more of them.

while your at it, how about a mod replacing the commuter train with a GO Train

BigRedFish has already created that plus many other passenger, elevated and subway trains. You can find them in the STEX.

For the most part I rather stick to freight.

[Fairlane500 8]

You and BRF had a good pairing making freight and passenger, but I haven't seen BRF for a while, what happened to her?

[kingarthur_kom 0]

Since you are only doing freight. Will you be doing any real company cars? Like Happag Lloyd etc...

If Bigredfish is listening...
How about a Chicago area Metra train? & CTA?

[flrscf 0]

How about cars with containers on it? Or are they already exist?

They already exist in the game. Unfortunately, the container appearances are controlled by the effects directory, which very few people know how to modify.

Shhhhh...
I can get you what you need.
Don't tell anyone I'm self-promoting in Trolca's thread...

I really like your Bay Line set. It does my heart good to see the ASAB in SC4. Plus, since Bay Line is so generic, most people can find a way to use it.

Self-promoting is fine as long as you provide pictures.

I plan on upgrading all of my old sets including the Bay Line and place them in STEX.

For now, here's a mix of requests. Each in it's own DAT file, packaged in one ZIP.
