Bwt_carbarn Kuid:61015:28000

[Ronayne]

Howdy folks,

Today, I finally found an asset for my 1950's streetcar route, that I have been trying to find for ages. I downloaded it and installed it on Trainz 2012, only to find that it woun't work. The item in mind is Jaleel's Bwt_carbarn kuid:61015:28000.

It has two errors and two warnings:

Warning: This asset uses an obsolete trainz-build number. Trainz-build numbers below 2.7 are no longer supported.
Error: Unable to load animation file 'hash-b4\kuid 61015 28000/bwt_carbarn1/anim.kin' (no resource).
Error: Unable to load animation file 'hash-b4\kuid 61015 28000\bwt_carbarn1\anim.kin' (no resource).
Warning: Required container 'thumbnails' is missing.

Can anyone help please? This is an asset I need for my route, and there are no other carbarns (that I know of), that will work this well.
Anyone out there have a version modified for Ts2012?

Thankyou greatly in advance,

I had the same problems with the same asset and deleted it. I didn't bother to fix the problems with the animation thing. In TRS2004 the asset was problematic, causing many studders for me when I used it back then. Maybe the problems were causing the studders and TRS2004 was pushing its way past them instead of producing errors like TS12 does today.

Find another asset that has an anim.kin and copy and paste into the carbarn.

Use AssetX to help fix the warnings or open the config and change the trainz-build to 2.7 or ignore them as it won't stop the asset from working

The only remaining warning will be the missing thumbnails.

Peter,

I agree with Chris. This is awesome and thank you for the fix.

You all are wrong. You just think it is a carbarn. I think it's a small freight car repair shop. :hehe: It was a great find Ronayne and thanks to those who took the time to diagnose the problem and create a fix.

Is Jaleel still around? It'd be nice to get his permission to upload this with Peter's config.

Why are we wrong? A repair shop could be a car barn for a local trolley company. The car barn not only protected the cars out of service, they served as repair centers as well. In fact there are a few of the buildings left near where I live. Today they're other businesses.

Merrimac, MA. Former Amesbury & Haverhill (later Eastern Mass Street Railway) car barn. Today it's the town of Merrimac's fire house.

Salem, NH. Former Eastern Mass Street Railway car barn. This one now houses various businesses, but it's obvious what the building was originally. Before the housing developments went in to the south, you could still see part of the ROW leading to the barn. Canobie Lake Park is located west of here which was one of the big trolley destinations back in the old days.

"Why are we wrong?"

No one is. I wanted to comment that not only is it a fine looking building, but also it could be useful in a number of roles. My attempt at humor was clumsy and I hope others don't take it wrong.

Sorry Bernie. My attempt at sarcasm wasn't much better. lol.

It is a cool building.

What do you think of the two that still exist?

Hello John,

It doesn't look as if the two survivors have lost much of their character. They would make good models, even in their current state. Thanks for the links. Older buildings like that make me nostalgic. In this case it's in part for interurban traction and street railways, which were a fabulous method of transportation in their day, but also for the individuality of the buildings of the day. Even many industrial buildings had a personality of their own. And if they've lasted until now they develop a human aspect. I don't get that sense from a lot of modern buildings. It's a pity we had to outgrow some of these things, not that I'm knocking polio vaccine, but I sure hope we continue to preserve and use what we can.

When I was building my cit's former tramway, I regarded it as a tram place as it is listed as being such hence the name "car barn." Of course can be interpreted as anything one wants but the builder has made it clear what he says it is!

I agree, Bernie. There's not much in the way of coolness in a lot of modern buildings including my own house which was built in 1968. This is comparing my current property to the one I grew up in which was built in 1870 or so. The old house had character that made it a home. The current place is just a place to sleep and collect junk. The old buildings, at least where I live, are finally being preserved if it isn't too late. Sadly many were removed during the 1960s and early 1970s due to the infamous urban renewal. We lost a ton of older buildings in the big downtown to the wrecking ball, including the old city hall because they were all deemed unsafe for occupation. When the old Haverhill high school, made famous by the Archie comic strip, was deemed unsafe too, someone woke up and found out it wasn't unsafe at all! So this has now become the city hall, and sadly much of the grand character of the downtown is gone. Many of the old mills too have disappeared as well. They're giant parking lots. What's left of the mills is now apartments and condos.

At least these two old car barns have a new lease on life. I'm sure there are others around, but I haven't found them yet. I'm wondering now if there is one in Amesbury or Newburyport because there were trolley tracks along Merrimac Street in Newburyport and along Main Street in Amesbury when I was growing up. The trolleys had since been stopped, but the tracks still existed up until about 1970.
