Larger Capacity Goods Wagon

[LazzaH]

Hi all,

One thing that has puzzled me about LoMo is that, unlike all of the other goods rolling stock, there is no larger capacity Goods Wagon available later in the game.

Could one of the modders have a go at producing one, please? In TTDPatch there were several variations, which looked rather good.

Many thanks,

L

The Boxcar carries 25 crates of goods/food/grapes and can go up to 75 mph. Methinks the engineers hit the capacity limit earlier for that than for the rest of the carriages.



Edit: confused boxcar and stockcar...d'oh.

It definitely needs doing, yes.

You could easily 'stretch' the latest current goods car, much like the the two hopper wagons, one of them is the early, small version and the other is a stretched, newer version with more capacity

Beh, the stockcar is really what needs a new replacement. It holds just 15 head of cattle and has a speed limit of 50 mph, which it totally bunk.

You are asking for larger capacity units?
Why not use the tools provided by some members here and increase the capacity of the wagon/truck you want. I am not a coder but they seem to be able to go up to 250 in capacity and you can also get a unit to carry other wares as well.

Or is there a hitch I have not come across in doing this? I have only put mail on the tram so far, not having much time to experiment lately.

Aye, I'd be quite easy to dupe an existing model to serve as a template for a new vehicle, but increasing the capacity would (realistically) increase the size of said vehicle. And for that, new graphics would be required. And not everyone is artistically inclined.
