Re: Iron Horse! 2.6.0 Released 6th June 2020
It's no trouble to add an earlier one, I'll put it on the to-do list.
You might have found them but...
The engine / railcar tech tree: https://firs-test-1.s3.eu-west-2.amazon ... _blue.html
All trains: https://firs-test-1.s3.eu-west-2.amazon ... rains.html
And I'm working on extended info pages for every vehicle (currently only available for engines, links on trains page), e.g. https://firs-test-1.s3.eu-west-2.amazon ... gasus.html
Finally trains with more stats: https://firs-test-1.s3.eu-west-2.amazon ... rence.html

Ah yes - I'd seen your "original" versions of these on the Coop pages, but not the ones hosted on AWS. This is a most appreciated development!

Re: Iron Horse! 2.7.0 Released 18th June 2020
The Iron Horse docs have a new home, at grf.farm.
Over time, there will be docs for each release, but for now the 2.7.0 docs are published as http://grf.farm/iron-horse/2.7.0/
Docs list
* all the trains
* the engine tech tree
* some code reference stuff.
Enjoy

Re: Iron Horse! 2.7.0 Released 18th June 2020
Iron Horse v1 docs are now moved to grf.farm https://grf.farm/iron-horse/index.html
This is just to keep the docs around for historical interest, using the newest Iron Horse is always recommended
Not sure if I'll move the grfs, they're on coop bundles server for now.

Re: Iron Horse! 2.7.0 Released 18th June 2020
NewCC 0.3 looks splendid on most 2cc sets (barring UKRS,it looks really weird to me during gameplay,sorry).
Iron Horse is really nice,but I wish that some slower speed diesel and electric locos were added to Iron Pony.
Like somewhere in the 100 kmph to 140 kmph range,in the 60s and 80s.
Otherwise ,it looks splendid.

Re: Iron Horse! 2.8.0 Released 4th October 2020
Iron Horse 2.8.0 is now on Bananas.
Online tech tree: https://grf.farm/iron-horse/2.8.0/html/ ... e_red.html
This is a big update to the engine roster. Thanks to Timberwolf for half the inspiration. The other half is because I bought a Heljan Class 58 and wanted to add the same engine to Iron Horse.
---- 2.8.0 Release ----
"We were in the jungle, there were too many of us, we had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little we went insane" - Francis Ford Coppola
Not savegame compatible with previous Iron Horse releases.

Not savegame compatible with previous Iron Horse releases.
New and Re-Balanced Engines
- the engine tech tree has been re-worked

- more engines (and more varied engines) are available in late game, which was previously bland
- some engines have longer lifespan, and can be used across several generations, particularly express engines moving to a freight role in later years
- some gaps in power ranges are filled, especially for electric engines in later game
- many engines now have one or more equivalent alternates
- new or significantly changed engines
- Avenger, inspired by BR Class 89

- Viking, inspired by MaK / Vossloh G1206/G1700), Corus Di8, Eurotunnel Class 0001 (Class 21)
- Vulcan, inspired by English Electric DP2 prototype
- Zebedee, inspired by BR Class 87, Class 86
- engines with minor changes for balance with the revised tech tree
- Blackthorn, Blaze, Carrack, Cheddar Valley, Fury, Girt Licker, Grub, Phoenix, Revolution, Roarer, Scorcher, Screamer, Strongbow, Super Shoebox, Tencendur, Ultra Shoebox
- renamed
- Gwynt is renamed to Hercules
- removed
- Hercules branch freight diesel engine (Hercules name re-used for freight steam engine)
- alternative liveries for some company colour combinations
- more information in html docs https://grf.farm/
- increased gen 5 freight speed to 87 mph
- cap gen 6 freight speed to same 87 mph, as the forced gen 5->6 transition is low yield for gameplay interest, and should be optional
- this also means that some gen 5 engines remain relevant for gen 6;
- increased gen 6 wagon capacity and reduced tare weight to reward upgrading if players want to take the option
- increased gen 6 railcar speeds to 99 mph
- extended model life for Gronk! type engines
- added a trailer car for High Flyer luxury railcar

- use the generated vehicle image (with caution) in pantograph debug image, not the raw input image, as it contains the rendered roof and chassis, so is a better debug image (can also then be used in docs)
- re-implemented docs image randomiser using json, with nested engines / wagons

Re: Iron Horse! 2.8.0 Released 4th October 2020
I had three rules for Iron Horse UK roster. No Deltics. No Zellepins. No Garratts. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
The Vulcan was also featured in Iron Horse 1, and it's pleasing to see the wheel turn full circle.
If Hymeks had been bigger, or the Falcon / Lion body shape had been used for class 47...
It's not a Deltic, honest! If the DP2 prototype had gone into series production in its original body shape...The Vulcan was also featured in Iron Horse 1, and it's pleasing to see the wheel turn full circle.

Buffalo - dedicated freight tank engine for early game.
Inspired by the widely-used-but-not-very-good BR Class 31.
I don't like class 67s much, but it fits so eh.

Re: Iron Horse! 2.8.0 Released 4th October 2020
Iron Horse 2.9.0 now on Bananas
Online docs: https://grf.farm/iron-horse/2.9.0/html/get_started.html
---- 2.9.0 Release ----
Changes
https://grf.farm/iron-horse/2.9.0/html/chuggypig.html
Autocoach Set
https://grf.farm/iron-horse/2.9.0/html/ ... gen_2.html
The autocoach has a few quirks
I wanted to include an articulated vehicle with combined passenger and mail capacity, which can be combined with a small engine to make a nice 1-tile train.
Articulated vehicles don't work with auto-replace, so there's only 1 generation provided. This means the autocoach will have a lower speed than some of the available engines after 1930 or so. This is unlikely to change, and probably isn't a big deal on the short routes this vehicle is intended for.
Articulated vehicles can't be flipped, so only one livery option is provided for autocoaches.
Finally, a nice 2-tile train can be made with 2 autocoaches, a small engine, and a medium-length passenger coach or mail van
Online docs: https://grf.farm/iron-horse/2.9.0/html/get_started.html
---- 2.9.0 Release ----
Changes
- added Chuggypig joker engine, as alternative to Gronk
- available around 1960
- 35mph / 400hp
- inspired by Thomas Hill Steelman, BR Class 07, miscellaneous industrial diesel shunters
- added Autocoach Set
- available around 1915
- attach to front or rear of a train with at least one other engine
- for OpenTTD reasons, vehicles must have power to lead a train, so these vehicles include a small amount of power
- 75mph, combined pax and mail capacity (not refittable)
- inspired by SR and LMS auto-coach sets, LNER articulated coach sets
- increase Lemon speed to 75mph, so it can stick around for longer in steam-diesel transition period, similar to Diablo and Blind Smuir
- link to grf.farm docs from in-game
- Chinook run cost was too high
- incorrect pixels for some liveries for gen 4B mail car
- link to grf.farm docs from readme
- adjust Gronk description
- change the majority of headings in html docs from title case to sentence case

Re: Iron Horse! 2.9.0 Released 2nd November 2020
Welp, looks like it's time to start a new game and try out the new trains!
I've been finding uses for the Joker engines on short-distance feeders and cross-town delivery routes, where speed isn't important and two short trains can handle the light traffic with one always loading and the other always moving. The autocoaches will likely be useful in a similar low-capacity, high-frequency role, connecting a single small town to a junction station or city.
Incidentally, I'm glad you explained the autoreplace restrictions. I didn't realize it was possible to autoreplace wagons in addition to locomotives, and have been upgrading trains manually. This is a game-changing discovery for a trainset like Iron Horse with wagon speed limits!
