Personally, I'm waiting for the passenger ships. Frankly speaking, the lack of those cripples the whole set.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this more complete as well, would love to use in a new game!

Edit: As above, I play passenger/mail a lot.

Thanks for the comment

I haven't made any more progress on Sam recently.

The most recent release is preview 24, but no passenger ferries included. https://grf.farm/unsinkable-sam/preview ... ships.html

I will return to Sam, but I want to finish some Iron Horse things first.

I'll throw in my support for development of this set, as you find time and inspiration. I play with SHARK because it has a full set of vehicles, but usually find myself using the Sam sprites as they're very pretty and have good cargo support.

Thanks for the reply! Really appreciate all the work you do.

The game I'm playing now happens to be with Iron Horse (and Road Hogs) and I'm having a blast with it! Only odd thing I noticed (1860-1918 so far) was that mail wagons and express wagons appear to be functionally identical, but mail wagons cost considerably more running costs. Pretty minor thing but as I'm replying anyway figured I should write it down.

Cheers!

Checked and confirmed It's an unintended consequence

I would be very happy if you made some passenger ferries that look like vehicle ferries.
Haven't you thought about having your grf as eye candy you could diversify the quays with your ships as an object

Works for me in 12.0, 12.1, 12.2. What's not working for you?

Love the look of these! Always cool to have some alternate looks for ships transporting similar cargos. I also noticed that the tanker ships can change color when refitted to different cargos, hell yes. one thing I think could be used for differentiating between salt- and freshwater ships is the speed on canals vs actual ocean.

Here's the Klink in action on a sandbank (FIRS 3.0.12). Seems like a funny alignment issue.
And by the way, thanks a lot for another awesome set

For what it's worth I stand poised to use this set when it's game-ready and the ships have their introduction dates set rather than all being introduced at once in 1900 (I assume for testing purposes)—I already use Iron Horse and Road Hog, so buying into the Andythenorth ecosystem even further can't go wrong. (Plane set when‽)
