I modified a few city buildings to produce sugar and I've had a modified farm producing sugar for some time. I send the sugar in covered hoppers to (city building) bakery.
Also note the other cargo types. Some my own creations and others I can't recall who they belong to. I've had thoughts of adapting the winery to accept grain grapes and sugar but haven't gotten around to that yet. There are a few problems I've run accross with so many different cargo types and am still figuring out ways to get around them. As of now the most different cargo types I've been able to use in a game is 31. Granted many of them have the same ID as another. Grain and sugar are the same ID # which solves the adapt a vehicle issue.
I haven't released any of my adapted items due to I am not sure where that fine line of copyright is. I'll gladly release them once the grey area is cleared up. (most have new buildings of my creation tho the graphix look good to me they're not of the HQ that others produce.

I'm with you there Hammo...
@ Hod: The Goninan S set seems to be rediculously low in terms of reliability...

Hmm, all CityRail power cars should have the same reliability (96, passenger carriages - 100) so if you have any problem it's not because of wrong setting of reliability or me...
Maybe they are trying to be more realistic
I haven't really had any trouble with the Gonian S Sets.
But we've still got the problem with making 6 car sets (M-T-T-M-T-M). Maybe if we had a Driver trailer? Exactly the same model as the power car, just with 0 power. That might solve something by allowing us to run (M-T-T-M-DT-M). I'm not sure if the U-sets ever ran that way, but I know that the R sets and some V sets run that way.
Hodkowicz wrote:Maybe they are trying to be more realistic
I'll pay that one
And the M sets should start off with about 40% reliability when they're first introduced

Is this the situation you mean? <M-T-T-M>-T-M>
That setup works, but <M-T-<M-T-T-M> doesn't work.

Yes. I tried that and couldn't get it to work... that's from v1.1 right?
I kept getting the message that I needed another power car before I could run it.

You're right. It doesn't want to run!!! I didn't test it. Anyway, i know solution of it, but i have to switch off dualhead limitation, so it can be built with just one power car (two or more...).
I'll change it for S (Goninan, Comeng) and V Sets and do the 1.2 update.

It works...look at the picture below. You have to switch the direction then take the train off rails and place it back.

That's just an honest imitation of reality. If that were a real Cityrail train, several of the doors would have a sticker pasted across them as they had been rendered inoperable. We'd have also probably had a derailment and 70% of the trains either late or cancelled. So I think that having a few gaps isn't really such a bad thing
On a serious note, yes. That happens a bit in some mods, I've found. Nothing's perfect, but I can't say that I really notice it when I'm playing. It's certainly much better than it was in the beta!

Have you ever played with them? It's one of the LM bugs and every long train (longer than original LM trains) has problems with these gaps. (just from this view)

I have played with them.
I created a ficticous scenario with British climate and town names and a mix of locomotion default, CityRail v1.1, BR Set and Plastikman's US Sets and haven't had that gap noticeable.
like gazzabytes, I too have played with a mixture of BR and cityrail, and I haven't noticed the larger spacing. It all looks pretty normal on my computer.

I can't say I've ever paused the game. You don't make money standing still (unless of course you happen to be the CEO of Maquarie Bank...)! Another train which could make it into V1.3 is the PL class, whilst not a CityRail Train, they are seen a fair bit on the network, hauling container traffic. It'd be a good one to do from scratch, due to its simplicity.

They are a modified 48 Class used by Patricks and Toll on container traffic from the south west to Botany. Nothing special, just different. 81 and 82 would be good too. I know ze germans have a couple in their soon to be released set.

I may be wrong here, but I thought that That set is:

Unfortunately, both of the developers of that set are MIA, no one knows their whereabouts. I am not saying it is a dead project. but, she is sitting idol for now. it has been over 2 months since one has logged in and othe ther logged in once in over 3 month, he has not even been on his msn.

This set, meaning that it may never be released.
I was chatting with walter from over there, he's just outta hospital, and said the set is starting to progress again and hasn't carked it. but time will tell.
Hey, have you Sydneysiders heard of anything more on that new train pictured in ur avatar?
Later
