Interested?

It doens't need to be included. It can be used as a seperate GRF file IMO. Only thing is it shouldn't use the same vehicle IDs as the other sets...

Anways, this set needs work on it, it is far from finished. AFAIK nothing has been coded yet.

I just finished the first set of goods wagons for the Spain set. I was wondering if they would be useful for this set...
Look at them here, or in the developement site in my sig:

Hey All!

Who is the project leader by the way? If there is one...

Would it be possible for anyone to post here if they'd be interested in helping with this set?

Once we have some helpers ( i add myself to the list!

) then we can make a tracking table and get some drawing going!

I am the project leader, but I can't really lead a project, as you can see

Cool, would you like some help in running it?

I would be glad to help. (tracking table, website etc)

Cheers

jvassie · Post by **jvassie** » 25 Jun 2005 09:56

Cool would it be possible when done to select the wanted wagon nationalities in the graphics selection window in TTD.

I think that would be most complicated to code ...

But in that case, it would make no sense to have a european cargo set... You'd better have sepparate national cargo sets for each country. It would be a nuisance if you had to refit each wagon you buy just so that it looks right in the set.

I prefer to have them appearing randomly, and if someone makes a national themed set, then use that one if you want to have specific liveries

The Irish · Post by **The Irish** » 30 Jun 2005 13:45

but isn't that the point of this set? I mean IRL, cargo wagons are mixed all over the place on the continent. Most freight trains have wagons from lots of different countries in it. So making a cargo set for each country is kinda like making a complete country train set again.

and we already have:

Germany
UK
Finnland
Netherlands/BENELUX

in the making are:
Spain
France
Norway
Danmark
Czech Republic
Portugal
Alpine (Austria & Switzerland)
Serbia

(did I miss some?, sorry if so)

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 30 Jun 2005 15:04

For the Dutch trainset, we are concentrating on passenger traffic first.

Besides, if we had this set finished, we wouldn't need cargo carriages in every single set.

jvassie · Post by **jvassie** » 30 Jun 2005 16:08

I agree with The Irish and Purno, there is lots of mixed freight traffic between countries. For example coal hoppers between Switzerland and Germany. There are many more as well.

As Purno said, we wouldnt need freight wagons in each set (ones for Europe that is!

) and that'd save a little bit of space for some more locos!
