So what do I need to do to prep it for code? Stick the blue bounding boxes in? Anything else?

Okay, so we have some Heavy Equipment, but how do we move it around?

This would be a 5-part articulated vehicle, inspired by comments in this trams/light rail thread
Load would be classed as goods. It would be moved from factories to anything that accepts goods. I make no promises about how that works with ECS, future industry sets etc - I just think it looks neat!

(With more apologies to Zephryis for pillaging graphics).

Teaser: convoi exceptionelle! A tailback of loaded steel trucks crawls up the highway behind a big green monster, bound for the ore mines. Soon there'll be more raw materials for steel, more traffic, more tailbacks. Ah, progress

Vote 'Andy's Monster Trucks' as a set name! :lol:

Very nice work and a set I will definitely use once it is complete.

How about the "Heavy Truck Set" or "HTS" as a name. It is short, simple, and gets right to the point. "Heavy Equipment" could be a bit misleading to a new user as it might seem to include more then just trucks - say construction vehicles as an example.

I'm leaking from my eyes...
It's so beautiful...

It will include more than trucks

Stay tuned to this channel :wink:

I couldn't agree more, it certainly looks very nice.

Question: what's got tracks and tastes great with the Canadian Train Set? Answer: a Nodwell (or three)

Small things are a right bugger to draw, not many pixels spare!

What's a Nodwell? Find out here :wink:

And the obligatory teaser. Back in the oilpatch again, it's freeze up and a brace of Nodwells head up the right-of-way to the rig.

Hey that's nice!
Little suggestion:
Could You make passenger one articulated then it would look like something like this, but a little bigger

DanMacK · **Posted:** Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:18 pm

Excellent work on these! Can't wait to see more.

Nite Owl · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:11 am

I did read the first post but it was several days ago when the thread first opened for business and I forgot about the people movers. Hmm... then maybe I can amend my name suggestion to the "Heavy Transport Set". I think that would work just as well for the same reasons I stated previously. Keep up the good work.

Hagglunds are cool, I thought about including them. But my plan already includes something that will make you happy I reckon. An articulated Nodwell is called a Chieftan. These will be featured as upgrades to the Nodwells - for the same cargoes including passengers.

I'm also going to redraw the passenger Nodwell more like this one with a 24 person crew body - it will look better and be more useful:

I agree.

Just an update of the tracking table. I've added all the Foremost vehicles in case you decide to draw the others Andy. I've also added a few missing stats and web links to all the vehicles. But still no Paling Transporter. I've sent them an e-mail asking for stats, but I'm not very hopeful. Ah well
