Sunshine Trains v2.0 - 6th of February 2023

The biggest desire is ukrs2 in 2x zoom / 32bpp graphics. But I think it's fantastic.
But for the ecs and firs industries, large wagons are needed.

Version 2.0 of Sunshine Trains is now available from the in-game content download.

The new variants feature in OpenTTD 13.0 has allowed some added functionality in Sunshine Trains. You can now build specific variants of the passenger and mail coaches; push-pull trainset variants (shunting sets with a built-in brake van for the tank engines and diesel shunter; DBSO sets for the Class 47 and 86), and single-car variants of the DMUs, Class 43 and Class 91 have all been added.

A few livery and sprite tidy-ups have also been done, and the grf now also includes custom 2x exhaust, spark and breakdown effects.

Great, another helper set of trains for sets that don't get along with new industries. Whenever I randomly generate a map with certain city names, I want the national sets to match, but sometimes they are really very old...

Great update (can't see it in OTTD 12.2 game online content and also UKRS3 disappeared) - it looks like it is for OTTD 13 only.
I wonder if NARS someday will be updated to 32bpp.

Why should it be visible in the old version if it won't work as it should?

What is wrong with UKRS3 ? Sunshine Trains will not work for sure (min version OTTD is 13 due to few game engine changes).

Maybe the UKRS3 author removed it.. Sunshine trains are basically like a new version.

Is there anything in particular you feel it's missing - bearing in mind the nominal timeframe for the set is 1900-2000? The wagon capacities are fairly standard, I thought.

I wanted to see early electric locomotives, for example NER Electric Class ES1 or Class EF1 & EB1. As in UKRS2.
And the question about the capacity of the wagons is relevant.

The old versions of UKRS3 didn't go anywhere. I guess it's a bug you could take up with the devs, if older versions of a NewGRF aren't available when your version of the game doesn't support the latest.

It says to me that Sunshine trains and UKRS3 have the same graphics ID, that would be the reason.
