Chinese content

[nfitzsimmons]

Does anybody know of any sources of Chinese content besides the few things in the DLS, and Ocemy's site? I'm particularly looking for modern freight equipment. I'm trying to build a Chinese route, and need additional content.

Thanks.

Try looking up the Himalayan series on the DLS. There are tons of buildings for that. I have no idea about locos though.

If you do go to our site, you're going to have to read this first post here:

to get the password to unlock all the Zipped content executables. Most of it would fit nicely in a Chinese route BUT some of the lettering on signs and such would be 'off'.

Thanks for the responses so far. I have the Darjeeling route (it's beautifully done) and I'm using much of that content already. Buildings work very well, and there's a lot of scenery content (bicycles, scooters, etc.) that fit right into a modern Chinese city. I also have all of Ocemy's stuff. What I need not are Chinese freight rolling stock.

I'll be back in Guangzhou and Nanning in February for New Year, and I hope to take more photos, but all I have now are a few I managed to get through the windows on the train ride between the two cities last September. Good for creating scenery, but not so much for rolling stock.

Excellent. Dave worked very hard on that content for the DHR. Happy to see it fits in to your route. With national paranoia everywhere being what it is, I'd be careful of where my camera was aimed . Sounds like a great trip.

The things you've made for the route is excellent, and so much of it fits right into today's China. Modern China is such a mix of the old and new that I can put tin shacks right next to modern skyscrapers along the right of way.

This will be my second trip to China in 4 months. My fiancee lives in Nanning, and she often rides the train to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. This is what inspired me to build a Chinese route. And traveling by train with a Chinese native is a great educational experience. I get to see the real China, not just what tourists see.

I would love to do something like that. Have a wonderful trip and be sure to let us know when the route is finished. I'd download it.

I didn't really plan on the second trip; it just sort of happened. She talked me into coming for New year.

And I'm not a route builder (in Trainz.) I'm just sort of learning as I go. The primary problems I'm running into at the moment is that there is a distinct lack of freight rolling stock, signals, and large modern stations.
