I havea few new items for this pack including an R142/R142a The question is, doI make it a 4 car EMU with super high reliability, or a split model with Driving cabs on each end and a cabless car for the middle? They are normally married in 5 car sets, but 4 7 and 9 (?) exist the real problem is lomo. the cabless cars are powered so a 7 car train has a 700% ofa break-down... in other words, it would almost always be broken down.. ugh... So 4 car MU?

EDIT:

I'll be releasing a bunch more Pre Amtrak Passenger trains in the next few days ( I hope, they are in beta now) Would it be better if i start putting "Passenger" in front of my main line trains like i do with My other items with Goods, Lumber, Coal, Etc..... Or re classify them as USP?

Plastik, your best bet would be to make them as singles cab units, and then single cabless ones. Because although in real world they are run in five cars sets, (which would be a problem for Lomo) they can be set up to run in four five or six car units. This would give the player the flexibility to run the trainset as long or as short as he desires.

I think You are right, I was just concerned about the vehical limit, I can code them to need identical driving cabs on each side and you can build your own set. i'll mess around and see if ican somehow still power the middle cars with a no breakdowns and still need a driving cab. or just not power the middle ones at all.. lets hope she has enough HP to pull a 5-7 car train. right now i have it in beta as a 4 car MU.

That's what we call "A" and "B" motors. The "A" being the one with motors and a driving cab at one end. And the "B" has motors but no cab, and so it always has to be in the middle of the trainset. Strongbow made cars like that in his subway set. They are type "M-1" and he coded them in such a way that when a train is assembled the cars automatically position themselves in the A-B-B-A alignment with the cabs on the operating ends of the train. Maybe he could give you some insight.

Or, if you really wanted to a five car unit, Wyctor might be able help you with that. He made a Siemens NF12B Combino six section tram. It is two three section units, coded so that two sections must be coupled back to back for it to work

Coding it is not the problem. It is just the game limits. if you have breakdowns on. in beta a train with 6 powered cars was brokendown almmost 100% of the time. My work around was leave the driving cabs with a normal reliability, and the powered b units as no breakdowns. It seems to work well.

Doublepost...

I tell You guys what. here is a little present for You guys....
The 1949 empire builder..

I plan on doing earlier versions of this train also. I just got the rights for the alcos FA's the earlier train had, I am now waiting on the full dome car. I also Finnished and have the rights for the the old Pullman heavywieghts, I just need to find the steamer that pulled it.

*EDIT* I forgot to mention this train uses Actual FP7 sounds. I made My own sound set but decided to use RobinH's sounds for this train

edit.. DL removed after 187 dl's. new version in us set pre amtrack / metro set 2.1
