You can't use third rail as catenary system. Catenary is placed over the train sprites, not below.
Hmm...
That just made me think...
What if the third rail was placed at the front side of the rail?
Hmm...
That'd look strange on junctions I think.
Anyways, just thinking out loudly

That has nothing to do with it, AFAICT.
Catenary sprites are drawn over the train sprites. Isn't it?

Hi james. One thing I feel that is missing from the DB Set XL is a double decker coach. SO i got off my arse and drew one... trouble is I can't code and I am struggling with the learning part so could you code this for me... just a coach and a Drving Car/Trailer thingy, the idea being that a loco pulls this lot like a normal train, unless of course you can make the train reverse so it can run Push/Pull.
If would be good, god I'm making this complex, if you could do this so that it would appear as a refit option to the normal coaches.
Passenger Capacity of normal coach 75. Capacity of Drving Car 60.
EDIT: The final finished version not the "work in progress" version of before.

Tho those sprites look quite fine (really
) , you should read my tutorials part about not-mirroring diagonals. Besides, you missed a diagonal with white headlights.

Purno is correct. That's the third (rail type), not the (third rail) type.Rob wrote:But you can since DaleStan added it :

As in "catenary above either monorail or maglev, whichever your unifiedmaglev setting dictates".
Or, more likely, "catenary above the Shinkasen tracks."
Electrification by third rail is a completely different can of worms.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

> Michael, is that version released or still in development,
V0.9 is still in development. Although that double decker coach was included originally in v0.83 which has been never released, though.
> [...] could you please inform me as to when it will be released
I really don´t know.
> and will the Double deck coaches be able to work in push-pull mode?
Yes, they should. Although, ATM, there´s no real patch feature to support push-pull service but only an "ugly .grf hack". That´s why it depends: if there´ll be a patch feature before release, it´ll be included, together with other engine/coach combinations for push-pull service. If not, I´ll add a small extra .grf which would contain only two or three combinations.

IIRC version .83 got lost in strange circumstances...Ameecher wrote:So, you've got version 8.3 but you have never released it. Any chance you could do that now? because I'm at the critical point in the game where I need more capacity on passenger trains but I have no room! I need bigger capacity trains.

Rumour has it that MB lost it in a freak skiing accident... But then... it was a drunk man in a kilt that told me that...Snail wrote:IIRC version .83 got lost in strange circumstances...Ameecher wrote:So, you've got version 8.3 but you have never released it.
