"Das Boot"

Steam engines in occupied France

I always assumed that the Germans employed French drivers and SNCF stock in Europe like in the film 'The Train'.

Is that correct?

Depends on what they were carrying and where the were going. The German Reichsbahn (DRG) and the SNCF had a very smooth cooperation going on, with DRG specialists attached to the major French yards and stations - it not something you speak of in a loud voice, but the available litterature does not paint a pictue of animosity, rather a cooperation based on professionalism. One must also take into account that the initially non-occupied part of France collaborated actively with Germany.
Presumably larger naval facilities would have their own rolling stock operated by naval personel. The German army had raised the military railroding to an art form, so if the Navy couldn't provide their own I assume some cross polling would be in order. The typical military workhorse would be a V36 diesel (or whatever local rolling stock deemed suitable).

Verry nice Carrier more ships for the Trainz Fleet! Due to the sensitive nature of this thread I decided to strip Tracey Island and Evict them !:eek: ...it is now Rapidly turning into a Generic Gibraltar :eek: ...infact a very large island naval base (I know Gibraltar is not a island....but I already had a island!) complete with a railway system LOL!.....Fleets in!:eek: So future screens will not just be about sub bunkers .............................
 
Carrier LOOKS GREAT!

wow,,

That is really Sharp.
Will you make two versions,, with Aircraft on seck and also clear decks?

The clear decks would be fun to land on! Just some invisible track, and plop on deck hehehehehehehehe.

Great ship though! I like it!
 
DAS BOOTE the Original series!

Log: U-87

Whec you stoped a Sweedish ship?

The word went out amongst the Trainz Grande Fleet of the events of earlier on the Rouge U87 had been harassing shipping the Shocking reperts of how little old lady Lego People had some of their bricks come loose!:eek:
The docks became a buzz with activity as the Fleet prepared to sail The U87 must be stopped before it attacks the DLS!

Hey

Right now the Destroyer and sub are not locos,, but there is interest in making the destroyer a loco.

The submarine would be a bad loco as I am still fighting Gmax in making the lower hull below the water line. Not giving up yet, but she may end up a pierside object.
 
Ready to lend a hand in the fight dreddman, just let me know when to launch the planes. Dive bombers, torp bombers, and fighters, on deck and ready to go...............(lol)

This is by far my favorate thread on the forum. Keep up the creative work.
 
90 percent for the four piper DD

reworking the guns on the s-boats, and now a better torpedo too. then released.

type viiC just needs textured, textures made
xxi made skin made,, need to skin
xxiii 99 percent,, rebuilding her scopes and snorkle, and revamping torpedo system.

many other little ideas working on,, all involving the sea, 1900 to 1950
and two small river paddlers, trying to figure out how to keep the paddles in the house on a tight turn.

what this thread for many naval projects from us! we are jsut forming up and getting into swing!!

Hi Mike,

Good to read the paddle-steamers are still being worked on....:D

Just a possibly-stupid suggestion from a dumbecile....
What if you used just two bogeys;
___one dead-center of the paddlewheel's drive-shaft.
___one immediately behind that, but as close as possible (ie minimal distance between bogey centers)?

In real-life those vessels literally 'turn on a dime'.

My original suggestion you may recall, was to have the rudder attached as a 'tender'.
That way, the rudder would follow the course of the vessel
(or is it, the vessel would go where the rudder directed it!).....:)

Another suggestion:-
Can you make the paddlewheels' bogey 'fixed', ie no swivel action at all?.
If you can achieve that, then the second (swivelling) bogey could be at the attachment point of the rudder!??.......:)

Now about the excellent work going on here....
Congratulations to each of you, for once more broadening the enjoyment of Trainz.
Thank you for your team-work, generosity, hard-workings & sense.
Both humorous & common.
Looking for'ard towards the horizon-of-hope....the day/s when all these wonderful PC-exempt eye-Thames become available.

Cheers ("Yo-ho-ho-&-a-bottle-of-cola")....HAH!!! ..See, I didn't use "K" & "E"...:p
 
If they can be moved vertically in trs then they would be really cool like you could set the amount of ballast they had for travelling in rough or calm seas.

Hey team,

I think the guy who does all the Trainz-load-unload stuff may have some input about height-variation dependent on loading.
Sorry I've just gone sea-nile, & my brainz left the building. (I forget his name!)....:confused:

is this trainz or battlestations midway? can hardly tell the two apart anymore
I deleted the images as they are not needed so many times, but they are brilliant. Like Klinger I to am curious as to where they come from and if one day we may see them on the Download Station.

Congratulations to all,

What does ".rar" stand for, a different type of ZIP file then I am used to ???

I was not sure when I visited the site so I did not download anything :p

Craig
:):):)

Yep, .rar is a different type of compression than .zip - it seems to compress better.
Winrar is one tool that can bee used to open / create .rar files (http://www.rarlab.com/)
Another question on these *.rar files (and I found I have a copy of Winrar), if I install Winrar will that then take over my WinZip files and then if I want to change back to WinZip files can I do that?

I have a feeling I can because I must have tried this once before due to the fact I have Winrar.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Craig
:):):)

Can not help asking are these creations one day to be on the Download Station? ........ wheres that bloody "Drool" smilie thingo and the Mop :p

G'day Craig!

Aren't all these droolies lovely!....:)
I too have WinRar, but mine's out of date (467 days??)
I'm wondering (out loud) if those Yahoo Group .rar files could be put up (at Yahoo group site) as .cdp files?. Please?.
Oh btw, when I've used WinRar in the past, it's not interfered with WinZip at all.....:)
