How does one add a Startup/Shutdown Feature and MARS lights to an engine?

[9000DOLLAR]

I have heard that JR somehow adds startup/shutdown features to some locomotives, and I would like to know how.

I would also like to know how to add MARS lights to a reskin of Auran's default F7 engine. (the ATSF loco with 2 headlights)

Anything I do to those cloned engines will only be for personal use, because someone already made trainz exactly like the ones in question, and I wouldn't feel right uploading a reskin of something Auran made.

I'm only asking here because anytime I see a thread on these topics, everyone always says, "Download Jointed Rail stuff, they have some engines like that) I also have noticed that no-one has gotten a straight answer on these toipcs either.

The reason I don't want to just download a train with those features is because I want to feel that sense of acomplishment that comes from making something myself.

As you can see below, this ATSF F7 has a MARS light that rotates. It is from jointedrail.com for reference. You would be better off downloading it from Jointed Rail, instead of making the built-in unit try to do that.

It's really more that I want another project than finding and downloading a train.

Since I ran out of cheap stuff I can make into storage tanks, I don't have any projects right now.
(unless, maybe I should try my hand at making virtual storage tanks.)

Download one of our engines and see how... You'll need the script library anyway.

Here are some suggestions for you to consider:
- NW2
- Ghost train

I thought the libraries already came with the built-in JR trainz.


If I'm becoming a nuisance, I'll just request a lock on the thread, although not until the thread gets out of hand.

Please. It is not "Trainz", that is the software.. It is "Trains". Thank you!
