Is Horse

There are too many trains in this game. So we made that better by adding some more.
Made mostly by andythenorth and DanMacK, standing on the shoulders of giants.

Some trains won't be available if you don't have the right railtypes.
Termite track grf is designed specifically for Iron Horse, and gives you the railtypes you need, plus new depot graphics.
Get Termite on Bananas.

BAD FEATURES to know about

- reefer cars and edibles tank cars have a cargo decay rate bonus.
- Double Juice loco has more power on electrified rails.
- cabeese do nothing, just eye candy.
- tank engines have randomised forward / reversed graphics.
- wagons are randomised 1st / 2nd company colour. If you don't like the effect, set 2nd company colour same as first.
- Metro and Narrow Gauge vehicles show up if you have an appropriate track set (Termite is recommended).
- Cargo Sprinter loco hides intermediate cabs if you add them consecutively to a train.
- there's a parameter for capacity (bigger / correct / smaller).

There's nothing else much fancy.

Is Pictures...(this is old old old version 1)

tanks for that!

is the romsbottom alignment bug fixed? i never reported this, so if it isnt, here is the report



it only occurs in this angle that the tender is placed beside the rails.

/edit: btw: the roster concept is great!

I wish you'd stop peddling this filth on a family friendly forum!

-------------------
Release Candidate 3
-------------------

*Fixes*

- Ramsbottom tender misaligned in \ view
- smoke correctly positioned for most vehicles
- Double Juice shows electric sparks or diesel smoke, depending on power type

On bananas or http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/iron-horse/releases/

"And davy crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats"

-------------------
Release Candidate 4
-------------------

*New Features / Changes*

- new sprites for third generation hopper car
- randomly chosen 1st or 2nd company colour for
- box cars
- open cars
- reefer cars
- covered hopper cars can now refit to Building Materials cargo

On bananas

Bug Report: No locomotives are shown when selecting a filter for "none" cargo, but when "passengers" are chosen, all locomotives are shown, even though their capacity is reported as "N/A". Is that by design?

It's a bug thanks.

-------------------
Release Candidate 5
-------------------

*New Features / Changes*

- rejig tank cars
* add two edibles tank cars, for food-type cargos (water, milk, alcohol etc)
* edibles tank cars have high speed limits, and cargo-aging bonus
* remove one standard tank car
* adjust speeds and intro dates for tank cars
* tank cars no longer refit to food-type cargos, use edibles tank car instead
- introduce first-generation reefer car later, and make it faster (game balance)
- change order of wagons in buy menu (puts the most widely-refittable wagons first)
- randomly chosen 1st or 2nd company colour for:
* edibles tank cars
* tank cars
* flat cars
* covered hopper cars
- narrow gauge tank car is now black not company colour

*Fixes*

- avoid refitting hoppers to fruit (fruit cargo often has bulk class for historical reasons)
- allow refitting box cars to refit fruit (same issue with bulk class on fruit)
- don't refit flat wagons to food, the birds will eat it

There are currently just 6 bugs or issues to fix before 1.0.0.

So can you find any more?

thaaan: is it intended that the waggon color in the buymenu/shed-menu (i mean the dialoque if a train is inside the depot. how is this called?) are different from this ones seen on the track? and that the liveries of the combined mail/passenger waggons seems also to be random?

It's a bug. Got a screenshot?

EDIT: solved that one. Thanks.

the liveries of the combined mail/passenger waggons seems also to be random?

Another bug. You mean the Combine Car?

*Fixes*
