Wait, is this a joke, or did I miss something?

I think it's a joke and that Dave is referring to the rainbow trains.

Damned, I though there were some boobs hidden in the pictures...

Everyone's got a twisted mind, don't worry about it.

That is to say...

Bravo, Andy, jolly good show chap. Spiffing work.

Just leaving this here.

Helm Wind: a kind of IC225-ish thing. 140mph.
Brenner: bendolino crossed with a Eurostar or something. 186mph.

Both have distributed traction: every extra coach adds more HP. Boom boom.

Woo literal ECML racehorse. Looks amazing in raspberry ripple too...

Oh man. Look at them, just LOOK at them, they’re both delightful!

2.0.0-Alpha-4 now on bananas, or http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/iron-horse/releases/

*Changes from 2.0.0 Alpha 3*

- Helm Wind (1987) and Brenner (2017) high speed passenger trains
- distributed traction: all middle cars add power when attached to the correct cab car
- this means that high speed passenger trains always have enough power, whatever the total length

- Railcar changes
- swap the default livery for electric (and electro-diesel railcars), so they're visually distinct from diesel railcars in buy menu
- Pylon and Zeus electric railcars are now electro-diesel
- diamond shaped pantographs for Ares and Athena electric railcars

----

Known issues on the high speed pax trains:
- buy and run costs need more work
- doors don't open on Brenner cab units
- missing buy menu text to explain that middle units add power when attached to the cab unit

They're fast though and look ok so yair, have a go

That reminds me the Eurostars GNER used to operate.
Shame no one wants to use them anymore. Until HS2...

An attempt at Blood and Custard thundering up the ECML.

Thanks!

I should fix the sprite alignment bug there eh

Yeah - I didn't notice it in the game, but it became very obvious when I posted it here.

Assume the luxury coaches are for those willing to pay an extra 6d for a plusher seat?

It's NewCC compatible too!

Also I couldn't wait for tonight's nightly so I compiled it myself

Such realisms! Porterbrook 66?

Train #6 won't be going anywhere quickly, under-powered

And more leg room and stuff. There's a bit of a payment bonus, but you won't get so many pax per tile
