PNR Trains
Trains and rolling stock of the Philippine National Railways

Foreword: Sorry for not updating this page for a long time. Currently, 1.0.0-rc2 is available for download from the in-game online content manager. Sadly, the current rc version is not compatible with any previous savegames using this GRF. We highly recommend making a back-up of your current savefiles before trying out rc2. Full stable release is just around the corner.

Like nearly all railroads that started during the late 1800s, the Philippine National Railways played an important role in the development and transportation of key areas it used to and currently serves. And so I bring you PNR Trains, a NewGRF written in NML, based of 2ccts by Transportman

1.0.0-rc2 is now available for download in-game

What's new (1.0.0-rc2)

• Fixed Availability of MU coach on narrow guage tracks

Full changelog here: https://github.com/jacobssss14/PNR-Trai ... ngelog.txt

Features

• Multiple unit system based of 2ccts

• Multiple liveries with auto switching feature based on the current date

• Different cargo age period for intercity and commuter trains

• Expanded cargotypes with support for FIRS Industry Renewal Set

Trains currently included:

• KiHa 35 DMU (Introduced 2015)- Commuter train (usually formed as 2/3-car sets)

• KiHa 59 DMU (Introduced 2012)- Intercity train (usually formed as 3-car sets)

• Hyundai Rotem DMU (Introduced 2009)- Intercity train (usually formed as 3-car sets)

• GE Class 900 locomotive (Introduced 1973) - Hauled various services throughout PNR's history. Currently hauls 4-5 203 Series derived coaches

And now for the crazy part

• 203 Series Coach/Generator Car (Introduced 2011) - Intercity coaches derived from former JR 203 Series EMUs. Usually hauled by the Class 900 locomotive with a generator car at the end to provide power for doors, lighting, and air-conditioning

• More trains coming soon

Source code available here: https://github.com/jacobssss14/PNR-Trains

Notes:
Current release 1.0.0-rc2

• The trains featured are mostly narrow gauge. Use a separate GRF that provides a NAAN railtype (recommended: Japan Set Track set to international)

• Cargo diversity is a bit limited at the time being since we are still doing research for this

• rc and stable versions may not be compatible with any beta/pre-release versions. Please keep a backup of your savefiles before updating

Why does the set start so ridiculously late?

I see that version 1.0RC is available on GitHub. How close are you to a full stable release?

Really really close. We're just working out some kinks with the graphics.

We are getting close to it. We still had more trains to add to cover the Pre War Era.

How is the train set going now?

The GRF is doing well now and we already added future trains of PNR, including the electric trains of NSCR System and the CRRC made South Long Haul train. Now we are currently working on adding more rolling stock for use in early game. Research of trains still ongoing to finding more to add

In case you missed it. The PNR North-South Commuter Rail System is here!
