looks like someone just messed up a bit, Pikka

Post by **PikkaBird** » 06 Oct 2005 14:58

It's meant to be like that. >_>

I'll see if I can fix it. The fact that it has the wrong name shouldn't prevent it from being used.

FIXED.

Cool

Now I just need to add more stuff... like an early electric and some other post-2005 locos

What happened to that fishing boat?

Whoops...

I'm not really sure we need earlier electrics. It's kind of nice not having wires everywhere until the network is well established, and then having to decide what routes are worth electrifying. Like I said before, what would be nice is a passenger electric loco like the AEM7 (1978).

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 06 Oct 2005 22:47

Well, I was thinking something like the EF-3, and that's it until 1986 when the GF6C comes in. A 55 MPH electric isn't going to find much service on long-haul or passenger runs

It's mainly designed as a banking engine.

TTD doesn't really lend itself to proper banking engine operations, though.

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 07 Oct 2005 20:56

Not really, but you stick a couple of electrics on the tail of a freight, and they're only used under catenary.

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 07 Oct 2005 21:04

But they're heavy and you have to drag them around the rest of the way. Do they have running costs when they're not under catenary?

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 07 Oct 2005 21:06

I don't think so, no... Could be wrong though.

DaleStan · Post by **DaleStan** » 07 Oct 2005 21:39

*poke*
Nope. Thats not fixed yet. Electric engines cost exactly the same amount to run, regardless of whether they're working or just dead weight.

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 07 Oct 2005 22:06

Damn...

Think this would be hard to implement?

DaleStan · Post by **DaleStan** » 07 Oct 2005 22:14

It appears that's been on patchman's todo since alpha 20. What exactly that means (difficulty vs. urgency) is not necessarily clear.

New version is up. Train wagons now have newcargos refit information.

Cheers Pikka! Ill try that right away!

Couple new locos for the early years

A 4-6-0 'Ten Wheeler' for those intermediate local hauls when a Pacific's too expensive and a Doodlebug's not powerful enough, and a Shay.

Aegir · Post by **Aegir** » 15 Oct 2005 04:00

OMFG! Shays! Mcwoot!

But anyways, /me prods DanMacK for a wooden Interurban and those 1980's electrics he had promised

Like these??

To be honest, I don't really want to add a passenger electric in the 80's as it doesn't fit the 'Canadian/Pacific NW' setting
