[continues from previous post] Finally, two cab cars from set 11 were bought by Kinki Sharyo and sent off to the company's plant in Kobe to act as load-bearing testbeds for the company's "SmartBEST" experimental battery-electric multiple unit - specifically the test consisted in retrofitting...

[continues from previous post] Deliveries re-started in 1999, but since the 05 Series' original design was now nearly ten years old, TRTA decided to considerably update it for the soon to be-delivered new batches. Most notably, the front was completely changed, with the new design being drawn...

After a slight delay, due both to personal committments as well as due to it's sheer size (60 individual cars, about the same number of consists as well, each needing some form of troubleshooting), the New Year's Pack is finally here! This year the "object" of the pack is particularily apt...

Happy new year from foggy northern Italy evryone! Unfortunately i'll have to miss the timing on my "traditional" "end-of-year TRTA train pack", due to a few setbacks in modelling and dependencies, especially the enginesound. However, work is progressing, slowly but surely - and since this will...

[continues from previous post] While they shared a good deal of technical equipment with the 200 Series, in regards of styling, the 400 Series threw it out of the ball park: an unmistakeably sleek, stylish, elegant and modern appearance, with a tapered front nose, top-mounted quadruple...

Merry Christmas everyone! Unlike last year, this year i'm glad i managed to hold on to my "traditional christmas special release" - so, here it is, this year's "Christmas Shinkansen": the first mini-shinkansen and one of my actual favourites - the 400 Series! From left to right: original...

That's right, here's (with yet some more delay) Leoluchvizero's graduation present instead - the 0 Series, Chiba Urban Monorail's "Urban Flyer"! Already available on my website! The 0 Series was introduced in 2012 by Chiba Urban Monorail as a replacement for the older 1000 Series trains that...

[continues from previous post] However, from an external point of view, the two trains were nothing alike: the unique segmented front of the 7000 Series (allegedly based on the quintessentially french Néz-Cassé locomotives) was changed in favour of a less complex, less distinctive but still...

Hello all! I'm back from the dead, or better, from my thesis! As a sort of a "celebratory" thing for my graduation, here's my first new project after far too much time, and for the occasion, to match my degree, i've choosen the most urban-planning-related train possible: the Housing and Urban...

Yes, it's nearly identical. Basically a 203 Series cab within a 205 Series-type bodyshell. Source: http://old-staff.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2009/08/jr207900-2ca9.html I have some technical drawings of the 207-900 Series (including the cab). I'll scan and then send you them.

Hello all. As with some others on this forum, i'm having some issues with users converting my content to trainz android, without any authorization or even crediting me. These users are not members of the official trainz forums (nor of any other trainz forum in fact), they do not have a website...

Hi all, i've had a few problems lately with one of my custom enginespecs: the brake hissing sound will keep playing in loop as long as the brakes are released instead of just once when the brake lever is put in the "release" position. This is the first time something like this has happened to...

Good evenig evryone, I'd like to start by saying that this isn't my first enginesound, but nonetheless it still has quite severe issues. What i'm trying to recreate is a realistic GTO Chopper enginesound for electric multiple units. Now, trains with GTO Chopper control have two distinct...

Hi all, I'm having yet again a bit of trouble with Trainz19's content manager: Evry time i try to start trainz, a database repair window pops up. This wouldn't bee too unusual, except that about 3/4 done, the repair process crashes, the content manager closes itself and it has to do it...
