You're right, the version of NML you're using is too old to support variants. It's a relatively new feature.

I think the way I been doing the diesels best way for them as there is a lot of different liveries especially for the NR class. Got 10 so far and still more to add.

But your idea would go well with passenger carriage sets and freight wagons.

I'll finish off the work that I doing with the trains and other projects and might look at upgrading my NML later on and add your idea. Could be a few months before I do this.

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Still fiddling with the idea placing wagon types of same size and type together.

Done 4 lots so far with freight wagons.

This image shows Refrigerated Vans, Louvred Vans, Open Wagons and Refrigerated Containers.
The refrigerated wagons have 3 types: TRC 1 door, TRC 2 doors and NRYs.
Louvred Vans: TLV, HLV, KLY, JLY, and SCT wagons.
Open Wagons have: BDL and BDYs.
Refrigerated Containers have: Lindsay, Linfox, MSC, Rand, FCL, Toll, SCF, AuzTrans, Breeze, and Nedlloyd.

The only minor problem this idea has if when wagons become available. I use the date of when the first one becomes available and use speed and capacity of the latest one.

If any one like to test what I been doing here and let me know if like the idea be appreciated. But remember it only a TEST game file as I be making a lot more changes to it until get it how we want.

Extending the length of freight wagons.

Experimenting with increasing the length of some freight wagons.
This image shows a CDY 4 pixels longer on top track compared to the original on bottom track.
Longer CDYs top and original the bottom set.

If I make this permanent will also extend the BDY and BDL.
(Only done empty CDY so far. Hope today and tomorrow make some loaded ones).

The main reason I want to make some freight wagons longer are the container wagons. I see on freight trains when I go train spotting some wagons have 3 small containers or 1 small and 1 large containers.

I've looked at other train sets and they have made and their containers are a bit smaller compared to what I have. So if want 3 containers on a wagons I already made, then I got to change the size of ALL my containers. But I think a better idea is I make some wagons a wee bit longer and still keep those I all ready made.

No complaints or feed back about this idea so I will continue with it.

This could be my last upload of any train sets as having problems with NML. Some times it works and some times it don't.

I changed the emblem on the side of blue and maroon BDY, BDL and CDY and also added a 35 class to the 45 class loco set. But used wrong blue for top part of emblem and for now it showing commany colours. IF NML working on Friday see if can fix it.

In the mean time here the source and game files.

I just spent close to 1 1/2 hours trying to get NML to work and failed.

Tried all the ways I got it working before, but this time no luck.

Might try again after I get my railway stations finished as they being coded in NFO.

So until further notice my Train Forums are

CLOSED.

EDIT: I'll have to close things more often as seem to work again after I do this.

So today I made some PRX Cement wagons for 5 different companies.
New South Wales Railways, Public Transport Commission, State Rail Authority, Freight Coop and Pacific National.

I hope do a bit more work to the set before I upload the game file.
