Hi,

Then mod them yourself.

You can also use search on this page to find what you want. http://plastikman.pytalhost.com/Everything.html

I'm not sure how up to date it is.

Thank you!

Now I can remove all I dont want (take some time but work well) to keed only CN/CP/VIA.

I'll show a list of that soon to help people.

Thank you!

Hello.

I have to admit, this mod pack has re-sparked my interest in Locomotion.


Although I'm not sure if it was said, but I'll say it anyway:
I cannot express the need for American Narrow Gauge.

Some suggestions:

D&RGW K-27:



As the image suggests, Captain Bazza has made a model for MSTS, although I haven't seen #461 for download. I did see #463 for download, without the snow on it.

EBT 3-bay hopper:



WP&YR Diesel



I know that the WP&YR has some more modern locomotives...

NG stuff is in beta.

I also want the Whitepass shovel nose so you are not alone. I'd love an entire whitepass map.

time is not on our side ATM.

I just got my PC mostly rebuilt. but things will be slow for a while.

Update Time!

After reinstalling lomo yesterday, I realized the patch was almost an hour to download and install on a fresh build..

I released: Megapack 1.1.2 (FULL) today.

there is nothing "new" in it that was not on the update site. It is just a repack of the previous pack with the updates included.

While it should have just been an "Upgrade", the size was way to big to justify it. I decided for a "FULL".

I also noticed the last pack was 1.1.1 and this one is 1.1.2?!?!?
It should have been 1.2.0 and 1.3.0?
oh well... this is fine for now.... the numbers still go up.


I also tried to fix the code where the pre-amtrak installer would randomly crash for a few people. It looks like I overload the buffer.
You can download it at AMI

plastic, you have used 2 of my screenshots on the AMI website, sweet, I thought nobody even looked at my screens

I have been swiping pictures from that thread of stuff that can be found on AMI. there is no limit to the number we can post.
so as i see more, I'll keep adding them.

I know andel would love some more BR shots for ami. it is a little unbalanced

I was wondering if the US set ever got permission from the creators to use the red Santa Fe caboose I saw in a screen shot a while back. also southern pacific bi level commuters? sorry if the caboose is already in the set. I am currently rebuilding my locomotion game.

Hello Plastikman,

That list with everything is a very nice list. I already have most of the stuff that's in there but I was wondering if the few that I don't have are available already ? My game could use some more trucks and cars now that I have finally discovered the freeway mod by Zeak. I wan't to make more use of roads and freeways...Here's a screen for a few that I don't have:

Are the cars and truck-trailers available in some pack already or are those still in beta as well ?

Thnxsss Plastikman and keep up to good work !

[Lighthouse]

The mister whoopie icecreamtruck was in a pack that was only online 1 and a half year back in a April fools pack by plastikman.
It was the pack that everyone who downloaded it then was thinking to be the container mod
But instead it was a "Crack/Coke" mod. al about delivering the Dope arround town with an Icecreamtruck.
There where some other items in it as well, and ofcourse a new cargo, Crack.

The car cabs I think can be found in Plastik's rubbish bin.

[Emperor Darth Sidious]

I haven't found both of them, and neither did I found it in plastikman's rubbish bin...but thnxss anyway guys

[Plastikman's #1 Fan]

Alright, now I'm wondering too... where are those roadrailers?

Anyways, I went through the whole pack yesterday and found a few things lacking. I suggest an NYC GP7, some Pennsy E-units, a PRR DD-1, perhaps the M-10000, and above all, more switchers! All we've got for switchers so far are six Alco S's, two SW1200's, a GE 44-ton, and an ALCo T-6. (BTW, thanks for the 44-ton! Great little addition to the pack!) I leave it up to you to choose which switcher's you'd like to do, but please make some for us!

Hi to all.
Firai of all, Kudos to Plastikman for making this awsome pack. It has everything i need to make scenarios. Also the LTD Packs. Theyre awsome too! Plastikman takes his time to bring us quality models and he does a good job. I thank you Mr Plastikman, for bringing us this uber-awsome pack!
Thanks,
L.A. Noire Fan

ya mos def. atari or chris sawyer owes something to plastic and this forum. I would not play locomotion if it was not for this site or the mods!

Perhaps this'll help:

DD-1 Stats:

Weight: 142 Tons/Pair
Designed: 1911
Obsolete: Late 50's, although one pair is preserved at the RRMofPA. Maybe never?
Top speed: 85 mph
Power: 4620/Pair
Requires: Trackst + 3rd Rail
Name: USP DD-1 PRR
Cancouple: Yes

It'd would have to be two parts MU'd, as the prototype was two units permanently coupled. Also, I couldn't find an MSTS model to start with. It'd have to be from scratch.

M-10000 Stats:

Weight: 85 Tons (That's the WHOLE TRAIN! (it was made of duralumin))
Designed: 1934
Obsolete: 1942 (Scrapped to obtain materials needed for WWII)
Top Speed: In regular service, it reached 90.
Power: 600
Requires: Trackst
Name: USP UP M-10000
Cancouple: No

It is a 3-part MU, which cannot couple. You can do the original version, with shrouds over the trucks; or as it was later, with the shrouds removed. The M-10001 can't be done because it was a 7-part train, and would have to be split like the Aerotrain is. Also, again, no MSTS model was found

One hitch: The exterior design of the M-10000 is protected under design patent #D100,000 (just by chance).


I also noticed that there are NO ore cars - true, american, stubby little ore cars - for locomotion. Regular 2- and 3-bay coal hoppers look awfully odd hauling orange iron ore. Ore was way too dense and heavy for normal hoppers like the ones in the megapack to haul, so little tiny cars were designed. If you're interested in doing this, I can code them and find models and pictures. all I need is sprites. I've taken it upon myself to learn how.

A little while ago, SKi Train and Panama Canal F40PH's were released. I cannot find them in the pack nor in the update section. What happened to 'em?

I do not see them either. It looks like they were pulled?
I missed getting them also.



A question.
Am I missing some new map or mod?
I am seeing lots of updated items on LJS's and The CLW update pages for soldier summit, Salt Lake City and Provo Utah area items.
Especially DRG&W and Utah Rail.

Before I step on any toes and start modding some regional maps, is there a new Soldier summit map or Provo map coming?
