I am also thinking about editing the top speed of the larger curve track. I think 35 MPH would be okay. Any opinions?

Do you mean the track, or the freight trams? The cars and engines I will post on Thursday. As for the track, I can't find the speed limit in the XML. I don't think it is in the ROADTRAM.dat file.
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Yes old topic but I'm bringing this back up since we have the trolley bus network. This might be possible to work properly.
I like Articulated Buses or Streetcars (Although I really like anything with wheels including planes, Thanks to Seelenquell for making Toronto's ALRV and CLRV for Locomotion. All we need now is a TTC D40LF and D60LF to go with the LRVs. Plus the Scarborough RT vehicles too.)
Resion for the LRV's is to make a good alternative to buses. Visit Here for more info.
I like being able to run freight on a tram line, but I prefer to build elcetric interurbans for that use. Trams force a double track on us, whereas the interurbans can run on single track, like the real ones. What's missing is the ability to run a railroad track on a road, so you can run into town. You could blaze your own private ROW through town, knocking down buildings, or come in on an elevated track. We also need more interurban models - please, please, please.

yeah. i know what you mean if you could run track over road i would be all over this. but interurbans are on my list.
Wait I thought that it didn't have a freight station??? So that problem is solved?

you can place a road depot or train station next to the tram station and it will accept freight (whatever the other station accepts; mail, goods, autos etc).
[quote="metalangel"]andel, it would be very useful early on between 1900-1930 (when this sort of thing was done IRL anyway) as the trucks of the time are pretty useless at moving any real quantity of cargo.
But if you use the LocoMod u can install any truck of whatever era even in the year 1900, so I don't think trams should be used for transport of goods and stuff like that. I mean even I don't use the small railway tracks for one reason that there are way to less downloads for it and secondly because those trains aren't very fast.
