Metra Content?

[SPRRFan]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is any Metra content available, freeware or payware. I currently have the F40Cs, SW1500s, F40PHMs, The Nippon Sharyo Gallery Cab Car (NOT the coach), and some DLS MP36s. I am looking for F40PHs and some Nippon Sharyo gallery coach cars.

Thanks,

Matt

You might want to post in the Japan thread down in the Screenshots forum. https://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?3916-Japan/page486 A lot of knowledgeable people and creators on that thread.

Uhh Metra is based in Chicago, IL USA & has nothing to do with Japan. Nippon Shayro is a manufacturer of train cars across the globe.

I did create a font with METRA logo for re-painters.

I know this might be a bump, but crazytrain made some F40PH-3s on the DLS for download.

I have also been trying to find some Metra stuff and any real-world routes around Chicago for Trainz, I have not yet been successful

There is also the Harvard Subdivision route which is a full Metra route from Harvard to Chicago.

Harvard Subdivision: Commuter Edition

The Harvard Subdivision: Commuter Edition DLC pack features 6 commuter passenger service sessions through a variety of conditions.

This is quite an old thread lol. Thank you guys though! I actually already have harvard sub, and one of my old horn files I uploaded to the dls a couple years ago was used in it.

 

[hiawathamr]

Opps, I didn't pay attention to the year

You are welcome and I hope you are enjoying the Harvard Sub!
lol, that horn file sounded good enough that I figured to use it on the BBLs to replace the original quiet horn and bell sounds.

Cheers

I've been beating this particular drum for nigh on 20 years now. At first glance it does seem counterintuitive that the railroad capital of the U.S. remains so underrepresented in Trainz, but I think part of the problem is the fact that there's just too damn much going on down there, and it ends up overwhelming many aspiring route creators.
