it looks really impressive loewe, but there's one tiny thing i miss... i'd love to see, even though they're robotically driven, some kind of engine in front. just a small one, for the idea you know. if that's worked out it's probably the best solution for latter games. very impressive!

the engine is UNDER EACH vehicle so no infront engine is needed

allright, maybe you didn't understand me, but it looks thust' a bit too "empty". i can't enjoy playing with these because it's just plain cars moving. i'd reckon there should be something in front of the vehicles, something small.

Check the my picture above, do you see anything like a cabin or something?

The cars are good, but maybe a modeller can create cars wich are more updated and have a futurelook.

They don't change direction.
So when you drive back the cabin would be on the back end.
When you don't give orders like full load, you could put on everyside a passenger cab.

err youre not exactly right chevyrider, the full load is just for the wagons of that kind
so if you have 2 chemicals 2 flatbed and 2 hopper than you select full chemicals at station 1 full lumber at 2 and full coal at 3 and it will fill each wagon completly and will not wait till eternity because the station does not offer it.
so if you have a cargotrain and a passenger cabin in it and the cargo gets full the passenger cabin will not be used until the station has passengers.

i use that system often when i transport more than one freight over a distance of 100 and more tiles so i have more income per train and its not so much traffic if only one train drives than 5

Re : Loewe,
I was so used to that idea, because it works on that way in TTD patch.
Thanks, this opens some interesting ways to serve industries on a long line.

Would it be nice to have Rail Cars in the Game?
