Ok! How about the longest narrow gauge train in Locomotion?

Is this even possible in game?
Quite impressive how they were able to make a 100 car long train.

[strongbow]

Nope, the maximum I can put on track is 4 Capricorns = 16 cars. So a lot less than the 25 Capricorns = 100 cars in real life.

Next project is the Goldenpass Express and I wish there was a way to have it compatible with both standard and narrow gauge track. I'll do a few tests with the XMLs just to be sure.

First ride of the Goldenpass Express in the game, unfortunately without variable gauge bogies.

Testing the fictional Arosa Express carriages to accompany the RhB Allegra in Arosa livery, along with a refined Goldenpass Express and both Capricorn units.

The 2023 update can now be downloaded here and I've sent it also to Owen, so it should be available soon on https://www.locomotiondepot.net/amitrains/strongbow

See the readme.txt for a detailed list on what's new. If you notice any bugs, please let me know. This should be all from me for a while, I have nothing else planned anymore, but maybe something will catch my eye and there will be a 2024 update too. Enjoy and all the best in the new year to everyone still lurking around here.

Hi, i dint play Locomation for almost a decade now but that doesnt stop me from saying how great these trains look! Thou i dont remember the rails would be so thin in game, are these narrow gauge trains?

[griffinrails]

Indeed they are!
