Automated container car?

[Richarde57]

Is there for Trainz ever made such a container car like on the picture?
Or something like that?
Drivable on invisible track by an invisible driver?

Would be nice to use them on an Intermodal Container yard.

These things drive around in both the Hamburg as the Rotterdam harbor if I remember correctly.

I have a half finished Blender model of it somewhere before I got distracted by other projects (and twins).

I will see if I can dig it up (this weekend or something) to find the real state of it.
No promises.

Found some nice videos... but I can only do one at a time.

Maybe only the links will work too.

Automated Guided Vehicle

They are called AGV's; Automated Guided Vehicles.

Here is a Work In Progress shot I took in Blender today:

It obviously is missing the front-end / back-end and if it ever gets finished I will of course remove the placeholder 40ft container.
Though I took the screenshot today, the date on the Blender file tells me I had not touched this project since July 2015. I actually had completely forgotten about this project. You might just have renewed my attention.

Great!

Thank you for trying to make this.

I never saw one before for trainz, searched for a few hours, but could not find anything simular.

So you may be the first one.
