SD100LRV

[Kenyon_karl]

The SD100 LRV posted to Trainz Download Station (Locomotive) in three parts because it is a two unit articulated Light Rail Vehicle (tram) looks suspiciously like a San Diego Trolley (see http://www.davesrailpix.com/sdgo/sdgo.htm) but skinned for Dragon City Transit.

I quickly installed this LRV as a session on the City of Phalanx layout for quick evaluation purposes on my Trainz12 layout and noticed:

* the complete absence of pantographs or trolley poles for power collection purposes.
* the doors don't open at station stops
* The LRV is probably not appropriate for layouts with 90 foot radius (streetcar) curves
* The LRV is very appropriate for trolley layouts needing double-end cars (can run in both directions equally well), and stops with platforms (or street loading) on either left or right side of the car.
* The LRV is probably too wide for European or British tram layouts where the tracks are very close together.

Karl,

This is common with many reskins especially of older assets.
