"Iron Horse" - A modular train set based slightly in reality

[Fairyfloss]

That's a bit special, also the default cargo should usually be Mail. Is that FIRS Extreme economy?

Isn't that just a feature of JGRs Patchpack? If you filter by cargo it automatically shows capacity and buys vehicles according to the selected cargo, and you can see it's filtered in the image.

That's a bug that I've fixed for the next release....but it's given me an idea for a new train

Ooooh, more trains is always fun. Tell us moar

I presume the Pullman coach will have cargo aging like the luxury coach?

Same as the HSTs (a small bonus), just easier that way as it's using HST code.

Cargo aging does nothing anyway, unless you play long routes on large maps.

EDIT: also renamed it to avoid confusion, Pullman was just a working title

While I was wondering if we would get a pushman too

That's a funny name for a train...

Fits right in with 'For the Avoidance of Doubt', 'To Clarify' and 'Boom Boom'.

Hi there,
It seems the speed of Athena isn't 60 as declared but 90 mph.
Also, can you introduce 60 mph freight wagons shortly after Saxon?
Waiting 10 more years (especially when playing with day length patch) after Saxon a bit annoying.

Thanks.

The default is mail, I was looking for vehicles that carry supplies. Yup, FIRS 4.

[andythenorth]

So sprite, very draw.

Hello

Nice carbon black hoppers . But the speed limits are with 60 to 95 mph (96,6 to 153 kph) a bit overvalued, aren't they?

Tschö, Auge

Found a bug. the bi-mode locos only recognize the low speed electrified tracks from Nutracks as such, none of the others.

Torpedo cars eh

I'm having a ton of fun with Iron Horse! But I had two questions/ideas/thingies I wanted to ask about.

I'm used to playing with sets like UKRS2, and playing with Iron Horse gives a far... quieter game. Any chance of running sounds like in UKRS2 ever being added to the game?

And what about a parameter option (that probably should normally be false) that allows players to buy the doubled-up locomtives as single locomotives? It would probably mainly be for decorative purposes, but being able to buy single Chinook or Flindermouse units could be fun to play with.

Speaking of which, the Flindermouse and Peasweep are listed incorrectly in the tech tree; it says they appear in the 30s and 60s respectively, while they're closer to the 1900s and 1930s respectively with their introduction dates/visual appearance.

I as use Iron Horse in all games by now, is a great set very well done!

I as just like to know If would be a American based version trains. I have some images of fictional based US units that could be usefull. ALCO-based units, some Turbotrains units in 70/80s, generic mega power units. Just some ideas





Somethings like this guys would be good on American Iron Horse.

Yes, I would like to do North American roster. There are many other newgrfs I should finish first

Fake trains are nice There are many more in this site: http://sbiii.com/bwapocdx.html#apocndex

I Know about that site. Some very interesting ideas. The guy that make some GG-1 derivated units pass to me all that creations, and some ever never seen UP based GTEL units. If you like, i have some units both proposed and imaginary and i can pass list if some units that i think could be a good start point if some basic informations.

Far too much stuff and things. So I had an OpenTTD break.

Then I drew some pixels.

Pixels are much more fun than trying to admin parts of the OpenTTD project.

Here pixels.

More trains!
