It say "optional B-unit". That means, you can attach a 2nd engine of the same sort, and it will have a differnet grapichis.

Don't you think that the running cost of the b unit should be turned down a half (when attached to the first loco)? This could encourage players to use beautiful B-united train like Sharknose and Canadian trains !
...but i don't know if it's hard to code or not. Just an idea : )
PS: I like a lot the new royal hudson and the new balanced prices !

Big bow to you.

Yeah... I'd like to add to Purno's thanks - it is a great train set and becoming one ever so more.
Isn't it maybe time to move from alpha to beta stage?

It is not hard to do, and it have struck my mind as well. Optionaly could I make the other engines only alow to be a single unit. I.E. no three-engines-in-a-row-plus-a-gazillion-wagons, but im not sure if i want that either. But halving the running costs on B-units is certainly a good option. Purno?

Big bow back for the most exilent grapichs.

Hopefully will the opendevs add wagons-can-expire functionality soon

I've thought about that too, but there are still a few trains i've got to add before we can do just that. IIRC: two or 3 metros, 1 or max 2 MU's and about 5 or 6 engines. I've just concentrated on perfecting whats already there recently, adding more balance and stuff like that, as well as i've made the code (much?) better to work with. Not much you as a casual player can see, but it makes things easier for me. I'm still not totally there yet, but its getting somewhere every day, or atleast weekly
If anyone would like to do some drawing that is appreciated too, on my person wishlist do I have theese:
Danish IC4 - Reason: Modern diesel 200kmhish DMU
Danish 4th generaion S-train, (
http://funini.com/train/denmark/imgs/stog_4.jpg ) - Cool looking train, Short carriages with a single WIDE door on each side.
The train in this thread:

ETR-200 - Early italian fast-for-its-time EMU

Everyone. It's a win-win situation.
DJ got nice graphics to code
I got my graphcis coded
The rest got a nice set to play with.

Try downloading the set now, and see what happens

Another feature i've wondered about lately; differenciated prices according to how new the engine is.
For example (all numbers are a random/easy-to-use number)
Class 666 is introduced in 1966 and it would cost according to some calculator 100$
the first year could it cost 40% more: 140$
the 2nd year 30% more: 130$
3rd year 20% more: 120$
4th year 10% more: 110$
5th to 30th year: 100$
Then after lets say another 25 years it's getting a bit obsolete, and can be bought perhaps 2nd hand, and it could cost lets say 70% of the original price.
Totally wierd or somewhat realistic?

I must admit that i don't know how fast the price of a loco decrease but that could be nice !

Great news everyone (prof. Farnsworth voice).
I just added two new (one really really old, and one 1970s) metros as well as an early EMU.
Now it's up to you to figure out witch

Okay, here's a few bugs off'f me.
First up, the Class 118 0-8-2
Shows up alright in preview, build it and the tender's missing
Next, the SNCF 140C
Tender is in a different position in depot than in preview
Cargo Spriter. Maybe not a bug, maybe it is.... the Sprinter can carry some cargos the boxcars can't, and you can't even add a second Sprinter to make a longer train.
And that's all from me for now.

Are there still sprites left to code or did you code them all?

Afaik are there still a couple ones from the tropic set to add, and some spanish/protugese/south-wet-warm-climate-something engine to add as well, but i'm not 100% sure, but its getting fewer and fewer thats not in.
bugs
will be fixed later today
