Australian CargoSprinter Request

[d00mh4mm3r]

Here a request i have, and i belive A LOT of you would like this, but its going to be hard to make (and i just dont have the skill's) CargoSprinter is 8 carrages long with both sides having the twin engines and cabbins in them, and up to 7 CargoSprinter's can be hooked up to each other... the carrages cant be shortend btw... top speed sadly is 120kph, but its manly used at ports and off-peak times.
2 Volvo truck engines power each drive unit. Each CargoSprinter set consisting of two drive units
therefore has 4 engines.

Drive train is hydraulic via an automatic 5-speed gearbox.

Each drive unit can carry 2 x 20ft/6.1m or 1 x 40ft/12.2m loaded Shipping containers.
(Horse power is unkown to me, but hell 4 engines has got to be better then 1

the aussie one only has a similar name, it was pretty much totally redone for australia

looks like a truck, on rails.
I like it..
If you can get me a view from left or right, totally straight from whole train(i mean the australian version), i might just make it for locomotion(this is not a promise).

[thompson_fan]

this looks like something they use in Melbourne as i've never seen one in Sydney. They would be an alright addirion to the game.

CRT own it, it was used for awhile in melb, i rode on it, its great, cept the lack of SG paths meant it couldnt be used to as much as it should have. its currently stored at their depo.

The train looks little big for loco standards, i might have to squish to make fluid turning etc.

Well all the Loco trains are squished so that shoul be no problem i think

and if you are gonna make him. Do you wanne make this things:

- Goods containers
- Oil/chemical containers (Round things in a container sized frame)
- Food containers

Or am i askin to much now :+

[Villem]

i'll only do containers for loads for now, ill start making the train tomorrow most probably.
Though the process would be signicifiantly faster if i get the picture i asked for..
[edit]its a little delayed since im having troubles with my E 69..[/edit]

[ajy170]

Are you still going to be doing this?

[Villem]

Most probably not, the last update for my E 69 will be the one last modification i do for Locomotion, atleast publickly.
