Looking for mod that adds maglev/late monorail or vactrain freight train

Post by GrandSeverus »

So I looked through tons of maglev/vactrains mods and i noticed that they only transport things like foods/valuables when it comes to resources.
NUTS allows some late-game resource transport train but to a limited degree because of the capacity of the wagons is rather small, only 22 tons.
Most of vactrain/maglev trains are usually only offers passenger transport or mail transport aka i am limited late game to transport passenger between cities.
I am playing Steeltown (FIRS) and i have tons of factories/industries scattered across the map.
Building passenger connection routes gets boring after a while.
Unfortunately, most of the high-speed trains are limited to food/passengers/mail/valuables.
I would be thankful if anyone knows of a mod that can remedy this,
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

FRIMS includes a universal cargo wagon. However, its capacity is relatively small.

If you want to use high-capacity wagons for normal track together with maglev engines, you can exploit the Universal Rail Type. Some would call this cheating, but that's up to you.

The NewGRF options are lacking. But there is one that will carry cargoes in high-speed maglevs: the original vehicles! :)

Download OpenGFX+ Trains, go into settings and enable just the maglev and monorails if you don't want all the other trains.

Are you using the current Vactrain set? It includes a universal cargo wagon and dedicated freight locomotives.
