Repair of Andi Smith's Pullman cars
- Thread starter pcas1986
- Start date
Thanks. There will be another update in maybe a week or two. There are some minor corrections and a revised corridor/gangway.
These look a lot better in TRS19/22 than in TS12 even though the main textures are the same.
That would be out of scope for our repairs. Basically, we are only allowed to repair them to a point where they work again.
We have bent the rules quite a lot for these repairs but materials are something we don't change.
An update.
I believe I've corrected or fixed all of the issues mentioned in this thread so now I have to trawl through the others updating them to my test asset. That will be followed by some QA.
I also know the solution for the courtesy lights issue. Andi used a different, but very similar, function call to open or close the doors and that bypassed the event handler in WagonX. That's the good news because its an easy fix. The not so good news is that the AJS Station Library code has obsolete functions and was already on our list for fixing. We will look at that but in slower time because those changes are not so easy to do and we do not want to make things worse.

Any plans for the Kitchen Third?
I can't find a Pullman kitchen third. Do you have a kuid?
Right now I'm trying to finish off some GWR AEC railcars. Then I've been asked to look at the Gresleys.
I thought third class customers got to rush into the station cafeteria and buy cold stale sandwidges and mediocre tea.

There was never one on Trainz. The Pullman Company in the UK did build the Kitchen Third both in the 12 Wheel and 8 Wheel. A number of the K type Pullmans were rebuilt to the same standard as the Festival Of Britian Pullman Cars.

The content repair group repairs, it doesn't create. If Andi06 didn't make one then you're out of luck. If you have plans and images someone might be interested in building one.

Mostly true. I have made some parts to facilitate a repair such as mesh libraries. I've made quite a few test routes for testing industries such as Ben Dorsey's various coal industries. Making a test route usually takes longer than the original repair.
I don't have any plans to make a 3rd class Pullman kitchen. While repairing Andi's Pullmans and other carriages I often thought it would be nice to rebuild them to TRS19/22 standards. That's beyond our remit. I did go back to look at them in TS12 a few times and think they look much better in 22 even with the original textures.

I think there are fewer freeware content creators creating PBR textured UK coaching assets these days. There are one or two but one or two have commented it's getting too complex these days and COVID carried a few off.Mostly true. I have made some parts to facilitate a repair such as mesh libraries.
