2-10-0: You mean something like this? (Choose between hospit1 and hospit2, one is with crosses, 2 with a line)

Arrr, hospit2 is what I meant.

Did a quick repaint of some carraiges I drew for the Thomas set. Feel free to use them and/or modify them if you wish.

right, lets clarify...

vehicle designs (along with industries and such), will change over time, so we might start with the green, move on to the white (both attached). then we might move on to my medical emu (WIP).

-personally i say the red stripe is best (dont forget to read the caption)

Just a comment on the red cross.
The red cross should be in a white roundel on a green train as this was the agreed symbol under the geniva convention of the time (on ships and trains and ambulances - not planes where they were on a square).
I know this because I did a lot of work with this type of transport during the second world war.

kidding right??!!

i have no idea how to do circles in ttd dimensions...
but i do know its hard.

could you get me some images of vehicles that were used to transport casualties and the era in which they were used?

as for the white train...that should be fine, the only wars waged these days are against terror, and i doubt terrorist care whether its casualties or mail

Yes really (see my sig).
this is a picture from 1938.

well, ive been working on a medical emu, and here it is:

Looks neat, but could you just narrow the red cross to the front and back traind because it would make you feel sick when it is travelling in-game.

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 08 Oct 2006 13:21

err, whichone?

graphics_master · Post by **graphics_master** » 08 Oct 2006 13:24

On the front and back of the emu. Let these sprites be the only ones with the red cross sign.

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 08 Oct 2006 13:26

the problem there would be if the train carried more than just casualties- ie, the powered carriage carried soldiers and one or two carriages in the middle of the train carried casualties

he means this:

either i posted while you were writing your post, or you didnt read my post properly...

i know thats what he means, but theres a problem with that...as clarified in my above post

EDIT: this is what i mean (see image)

The train looks flat, I doubt if someone could stand upright in the train.

BobDendry · Post by **BobDendry** » 09 Oct 2006 04:01

I agree. It needs a lot more work imo.

graphics_master · Post by **graphics_master** » 09 Oct 2006 15:22

I agree aswell. You need to make it more curvy and probaly a hospital train would be a frieght train or a normal flat front train as in the battles they wont blow A LOT of money on a high speed train.

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 09 Oct 2006 17:55

they wouldnt, but i bet you would... could be used as a feeder service in real life.

and why is it looking flat?? i followed purno to the letter and it was finished a long time ago, i just changed it to red and painted a cross on the top

I like the turquosique (greeny-bluish) wagon of mlnz-casuaties carriage.4.PNG

And don't be ridiculous - ICEs don't go on war. If this is a war, forget about the shiny maglevs.
This is a war, so there will be only cheap, junky, dirty, heavy, whatever ugly wagons operating.

So if this is going to be a real wartime theme, please forget about these EMUs. Don't care about other sets having beautiful trains. Your set is the war set - an unique!
