Double headed trains, like a T.I.M.

Post by Jussu »

This is perhaps an issue that's been covered already, but I was wondering how to buy a double headed train like a T.I.M. When I buy one I can only get the front part. How do I buy the rear?

For information : I left click the train and I get the front at the right price, but when I click again, I just get another front model...

Thanks in advance!

From the TTDPatch manual:
A slight complication arises for the engines that normally come with
two heads, like the Asiastar for example. In this case, when you buy
an engine, you'll only buy a single one and not both. Then, using the
`Ctrl' key, you can buy a second or even a third engine. Note that the
maximum speed given in the purchase window is the one for a two engine
train. This means that if you only buy one engine of the Asiastar, it
will actually be slower than what is stated in the window. Only adding
a second Asiastar engine will raise the maximum speed to the normal
value.

For these types of trains, the `Ctrl' key also has another function.
It selects which way an engine faces. If you move an engine around in
the depot while holding down `Ctrl', it will face one way. If you move
it without holding `Ctrl', it will face the other way.
Basically, it's because you have the multihead patch on.
