This is the development thread for the Belgian Train Set
Now available on BaNaNaS/Online Content!
Heres the current vehicle list


As I've never seen a train set for Belgium and I'm sure theres Belgian players out there that may want to play with such a train set, I've decided to try my hand at putting together a Belgian Train Set.
I plan on including engines, mu's and rolling stock from Belgium (from the first to the most recent rolling stock and engines) in Realistic and eventually 2cc Company colored liveries (Basically taking the 2 most significant colors of a real livery and replace them with company colors)
For now I'm working on collecting data for the train set so I can have as accurate specs for trains, coaches and wagons as possible. I've already got a handful of Locomotives but I'm having issues with getting all the data for steam engines and any specs on multiple units.

(Should be view-able in most browsers when you click the link, otherwise you'll have to download it)
Any help collecting data for the dates, power, speed, weight, and traction for each class, coach and wagon would be really appreciated!
People are also free to try their hand at drawing sprites for anything that hasn't already been covered with a realistic livery, as the 2cc Trains sprites are just place holders for now.
ALSO, there are a few issues I hope to fix while making this set before I call it complete.
1) I may be Canadian but I'm not well versed with French and I dont know any Dutch. Thus everything will be in English
until I have a translater to make French and Dutch language files for the set.
2) I'm still very green with coding so I can't do any fancy features or things I really want to do, like having the ability to toggle the selectrion for liveries (I would like to be able to have a Parameter for : Real Liveries, 2cc Liveries, and a Refit option so players can have both)
3) I still dont know how to make the Electric MU cars/trailers appear with powered sprites only when players put in a powered wagon. I want it so that when you place a unpowered MU Wagon in, it doesnt show a pantograph or any electrical gear on top. Powered MU Wagons should only have the Pantographs and roof mounted gear.
If anyone is curious, heres the link to the dropbox folder where I keep the project and source code. It constantly syncs so come back every now and then to see if there are any changes to the code or files.
