Quite possibly. In the case of my specs I made a large number of alterations to the steam container values between my TS12 SP1 and TRS19 specs (mostly around improving boiler behaviour) and I never tested them in T:ANE so I can't say for sure. Dropping the build number doesn't throw up any...

I don't think there's ever been an official list of changes anywhere, but from observation and recollection: TC3/2009/2010/earlyTS12 - all the same as far as I know* and completely different and vastly superior to earlier versions of the game. TS12 SP1 altered the steam generating capacity of...

Not sure I follow you there, but okay....have fun!

Yes it can be added in to the steam container. As for increasing the other numbers in proportion I have think it's unlikely to work but as the numbers there are mostly just plucked out of the sky, it might! Finding the real world data is the trick. I don't know about US protoypes, but there's...

That's a spreadsheet enginespec - the late Bill Fock was the author of said spreadsheet. The fuel-energy tag should be in the steam container. It isn't, so Trainz will be assuming the default value of 31401000 In my opinion though, the only way you'll get realistic performance from that is...

It was a spreadsheet designed to write an e-spec based on the parameters you entered into it. An awful lot of the assumptions it made for things like fire temperature were not based in reality, and neither was the performance of the resulting enginespec in the case of UK prototypes I'm familiar...

Depending the wood being burnt, it has a rough calorific value of 15000000 to 20000000 joules/kg, so unless you know what it is for the wood the loco used I'd go with a fuel-energy of 17500000, a max-fire-temp of 1000-1100 and as a starter, double the burn-rate from what it is on coal. Leave...

Increasing the value of the burn-rate tag will make it burn through more coal. However in real life that will mean more steam is produced, and depending on who wrote the spec for Trainz you may have the same problem. You can counter this by reducing the max-fire-temperature and/or the...

That's a very polite way of putting it! :LOL:

I've stood in that exact spot looking at what's left of the platforms many times. It's very overgrown these days, but when I was a youngster in the mid 70's my Gran used to take me to walk along the old trackbed - only 6-7 years after the final closure of Rugby Central in 1969 it was still bare...

Whilst I was updating my LSWR O2 e-spec skipper1945 has kindly given me permission to release a reskin of his model with the textures updated for later versions of Trainz. Thank you, George! It should be on the DLS in the next day or two.

So I have just discovered. One is still uploading, the other is an error in the config file and an update has been sent to the DLS. Sorry folks!

The more the merrier I'd say - they didn't all look the same when in service! The Ivatts are finally on their way to the DLS:

The Merchant Navy has been approved so should be available in the next day or so.

Coming soon to a DLS near you with the kind permission of skipper 1945- unless the upload process casts it into the wilderness as it has some of the Ivatt tank dependencies! Reskin, new e-spec and new e-spec for the tender.
