So far no issues pagroove, but is your computer too old for TRS22? Just wondering.

No I just did not buy it. I was too busy building. I will at some point t though. But building work is done in older build of Trainz to keep things backwards compatible till a certain degree. I was wondering do you run my route in 2019 or 2022? Glad you have no issues.

Besides tomorrow I get a new computer system besides my old one. The newes one is top spec but even on my Machine from 2017 I can and always could run Trainz just fine..

So for this one I don't have the renders saved on phone and my laptop is at home so please excuse me I have to use a screenshot

Here is C61 20 another model modded from hanshin's c62 model

He originally look like this back when I first modded him back in 2024

Yeah... Not good

Wow this looks really nice! I can’t wait for these to release. By the way, on the new one there are other c62’s. I’d like to see what they look like.

Well those ones in the traincar list. Minus C61 20, C62 2, and C62 17 (remember him he'll be relevant later) are still original-ish.....
I have reskin them and replace some of them with my own whistle files.
but their mesh files are still original

 

[orangeengine69]

Yeah about C62 17
That engine holds the honor of the being the first ever mesh I ever did

 

[orangeengine69]

However he is high on my priority of being redone
The model has no env_metal no bump maps nothing of that sort because I didn't know how to do that back then.

But now I do. And a new retooled c62 body to beat.
Eventually I would like to make custom accurate wheels but I don't have time yet so that have to wait (plus I don't just do japanese content i have others too)

Very nice C62 sounds orangeengine69!

I like the enginesound especially the slow chuffing sounds are nice and low like that of a German BR52.

 

[Steamtrain899]

That C62 17 could be used as C61 13 as the smoke deflectors look somewhat similar. You should search up what c61 13 looks like I recommend just putting in search c61 13 keep scrolling till you find it. I don’t know how to upload an image in Trainz forum.

 

[Steamtrain899]

Also no offense to your great c62 17 but I think the smoke deflectors are wrong. When I searched up C62 17 it had the normal one. Unless the locomotive at some point got those deflectors I recommend fixing it.

The sounds used on c62 17 were not by me
They were made by Christoph2001
Several of the C62s. (except C62 1) Came from Trainzland, although I'm quite certain they are again pirated models by BillVu from his fake site "Japanese Trainz Heritage" where C61 20 originated.
Before I know how to create my own sounds I use those

Thank you
Up to this point I have no idea of C61 13 existence. And yeah, I can reuse parts from C62 17 to make that engine

 

[orangeengine69]

Now I should probably elaborate on my whistle files
As of typing this I have 17 japanese 5 chime whistles. The main whistle file is standard one-part two-part and three-part, but it's the bell that the true secret hides (aka the idle 1 audio file)

The most recent one "Japanese 5 Chime V17" the bell sound is the uma musume lobby brain rot song "Bakushin Bakushin Bakushinshin"

if it's not permanent brain damage I don't know what is

I am well aware. but at the time I just think it's a cool idea with how menacing the loco look but I'll probably fix it

 

[orangeengine69]

Okay back to the point
Here are some scr of 4 of the whistle files (at least the ones I consider to the most insulting)

Japanese 5 Chime V1:

Japanese 5 Chime V2:

Japanese 5 Chime V4:

Japanese 5 Chime V10:

*They originally didn't have thumbnail/preview images, But Once I found a way to do it..... The degeneracy never ends

 

[orangeengine69]

I've always plan to release these to the public, and spread mass Chaos
And two are already out on my website:

Your welcome. Also I recommend lowering the deflectors when making C61 13. Unless you want to go a mile further and make the little curve on the deflectors.

 

[Steamtrain899]

By the way are you also doing C62 3?

 

[orangeengine69]

okay as promised

Here Are C61 20 Renders

Excellent route, working perfectly fine here on TRS22 PE (132316) SP6 Steam version

Question: Where can I find a JRF container terminal? Would really like to run Japanese intermodal container freight trains along the route to pick up or drop off containers
Overall, excellent route for something that is purely fictional it's AMAZING!
