CP 2816 in Trainz

[Saturnr]

Yes, please, but, shall I use the Bigsteam interior for 2816?

I use the interior from the NKP Berkshire/C&O Kanawha, as it has a cutoff wheel as 2816 does, where as Bigsteam has a power reverse lever. I guess Auran just didn't do their research to find that American engines don't have cutoffs, because I have seen the cab of 2716, 1225, 765, and another Kanawha and they all have power reverse levers, but for 2816 the cab works great as it has green walls like 2816, a cutoff wheel like 2816, vertical throttle, etc. So for any one with that PAYWARE addon you should change it afterwards. misterb11 will not be able to release it with that, but he could put Bigsteam, add a read me file in the folder that suggests you change it to the Berkshire interior for a more realistic experience, and have the kuid to copy and paste into the config listed there.

I know, that's why I said use the Bigsteam and put a Read Me file in the package that suggests changing out the Bigsteam interior for the Berkshire , for a better experience.

Well, the Bigsteam Interior choice is good, because, Saturnr, the NKP Berkshire/C&O Kanawha interior might be from K&L Trainz, and I don't want to get charged of copying a copyrighted cab.

 

[tigerko15]

Also did you say yes to Saturnr's coaches? Or my sound? I couldn't tell which

It is by Auran, K&L uses Bigsteam as well. I don't mean use it for everyone, just RECOMMEND it for people to change for a better experience if they have the payware, just a suggestion.

Oh yeah, you asked if u should make a 265. The answer:







HELL YEAH YOU SHOULD!!!!

 

[misterb11]

What 265? Or are you referring to NKP 765?

 

[ktain.ny]

No, Milwaukee road 265.

 

[misterb11]

I meant Milwaukee Road #261. It will be released another day, as it i listed in my projects page.

you have all the engines I wanna get on your page! Which one is next?

 

[misterb11]

After 2816, it will be the B&O EM-1 Mallet. They were the largest locomotives for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, used for hauling freight, mail, and passenger trains. Unfortunately, all were scrapped, although one almost made it to preservation.

I know the story it was slated to be an exibit at the b&o rr museum, but it was scraped by accident.

How does 2816's walkway look so far?

How does 2816's walkway look so far?

post a better pic, further away.

 

[Saturnr]

From this angle it looks pretty much like the real thing. A slightly bent side, and an oval in the rear step.

Anyways, how do you make train wheels in gmax?

 

[Saturnr]

Maybe you could use the wheels from Worksim's CPR H1d, 2858, All the CPR H1bs and H1ds, and H1es Hudsons had the same driving wheel diameter, 75 inches . You just need an attachment point that lines up with those wheels attachment point from Worksim's 2858 or tigerko's 2860 reskin. Line up the main wheels with your 2816 boiler and cylinders so the pistons properly come out of the cylinders, and then you can use a prexisting bogey for your drivers. The the pilot wheels and trailing bogey are the same size, so you can use those, you just need to have 2816 configured to have the right attachment points so the wheels don't float, or attach off centre and be inches over the rails to one side.
