Observation Car with rear or platform view?
- Thread starter pitkin
- Start date
.That would be part of an articulated consist. The Pioneer Zephyr was the first streamlined passenger consist ever to be followed by the Boston and Maine Flying Yankee.

Is there some way to make the new attachment point act as a view point (eg when the [] keys are pressed?
You would need to add an interior line in the config file (it could be one of the available invisible ones) and add the attachment point a.cabfront on the rear platform . If you add another point a.outsideview0 positioned at eye level on the rear platform you will then get a view actually on the coach rather than just there without the coach visible.

You could add an invisible loco on the tail end, and if T:ANE as a freeintcam feature in driver, you could venture back onto the observation car platform by using the KB arrow keys

there is a Rio Grande narrow gauge caboose with a rear platform view somewhere on the DLS for an older version of trainz and I think that there might also be one from pweiser on the DLS as well
If you don’t mind payware, K&L’s CN Pacific is a beautiful locomotive with a sweet whistle that also come with a nice set of passenger cars, including an observation car with platform views.

K&L’s PRR decapod is also excellent and comes with multi skin hoppers and two caboose versions, both of which have platform and cupola views.
Other K&L stuff has similar features.

K&L Trains C&O #2765 comes with some passenger cars which have what you're looking for. $5 American and really nice quality.

Hello, I'm sure I have the orange Milwaukee rear observation car (with all the windows) in my 2004. But my game computer is not connected at this time, (I just moved). But this would be a Trainz 2004 model...
I believe, but am not sure, that it was made by "Tume".
It has an interior with chairs, people, and I believe pictures on the interior walls.
Not a highly detailed, lovely interior, but it does give the feeling you are looking for. Just now, I couldn't find any rolling stock by Tume!
Maybe I didn't search properly. I don't remember if I got the set of cars from the DLS. (or maybe from Trainz Pro Routes)
Good luck, Bob P.
My mistake, there is a lot of stuff on the DLS by Tume. I think He made the whole set of the Milwaukee Road Olympia Hiawatha. I just looked but couldn't spot the word observation in the titles...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I am trying to avoid payware because I am working on some sessions to be uploaded. The Milwaukee cars look great, just what I need. I wish the windows were not tinted so the scenery was easier to see. Landrvr1 has a Calif Zephyr dome car with clear windows, but I don't think he ever made this consist public. A shame, I love his E5 shovelnose for the Zephyr.
I managed to get an "interior" camera point on the platform of an old heavyweight business car using the PEV attachment tool. However, will have to investigate whether it is legal to upload. I used sniper297 kuids, but the procedure is better left for the Content Creators forum.
Thanks,
Pitkin

You can totally remove tint, or make tinted windows more, or less transparent
Play with the alpha channel for the glass color.
