SEPTA

Here is the link for the SEPTA cars. http://trainz.luvr.net/projects-view.php?pid=527 They look very nice, and they're 2004 compatible. You could use them with a locomotive, or run them by themselves with the cab cars. So what if they don't have pantographs. You can ride in the coach. If you don't like the way they look, you could reskin them to suit your own tastes. They look close enough to commuter coaches for now.

where is the actual download link for this train

Man, it would be sweet if someone would build the Broad Street Line.

When I was a kid, I lived one street over from the Hunting Park station.

I'd do it myself, but the results would be less then stellar.:hehe:

edit to add: All your page four are belong to me.
 
Don't sell yourself short; everybody's gotta start somewhere. Plus, there are a number of people currently designing high-quality NY Subway/NYCTA routes, so you have a frame of reference, dependencies you can use, and some brains you can pick. I think the El would be considerably harder since most of it is above-ground. I think the worst-case is that you'd have to partially or fully reskin some stations, but I think that's relatively easy.

FYI, I intend to start the Septa R3 West Trenton, after making some content for that route.
 
Try trainzluvr.net, there are SEPTA coaches to download with rideable interiors, they look almost like the silverliners, but no pantographs although the cab car is like a locomotive. You could use those for now. They're called King commuter coaches I think. Jaleel made those, too. You could also make an AEM-7 electric loco and use them as coaches with a cab car at the opposite end. SEPTA does that in addition to the silverliners, a push-pull trainset with an AEM-7 at the one end usually for rush hour trains on the AMTRAK lines SEPTA runs on. Very rarely on the ex-Reading lines toward Norristown, Lansdale/Doylestown, etc. They were delivered to SEPTA in 1987. The coaches were made by Bombardier. Years ago, until mid-1981 Conrail/SEPTA ran RDC diesel trains on ex-Reading lines to non-electric destinations like Reading, Bethlehem then the RDC's were retired and sold to other railroads like BC Rail, MBTA, tourist railroads, etc.. The last RDC run was in early 1983 on the Newtown line. They also ran an FP7 push-pull trainset on those routes. The 5 or so coaches are in Danbury, CT and the locos are at Strasburg, PA painted in Reading and were used on Emmaus-Pennsburg excursions in recent years. Conrail turned commuter operations over to SEPTA in 1983. By that time, it was all electric. NJ Transit still runs diesel trains, though and almost every other commuter railroad in the US.
But what do I search for the SEPTA cab car and coaches?:(
 
Nevermind that last comment! I downloaded the king cars, but the slowed down my computer so much i needed to delete it:confused:
 
It was in the process of being made by Magicland, but he has left the Trainz community, so unfortunately I don't think it'll ever be released.

At least that is the one I think you're talking about.
 
In reality, that is not possible. I guess if there were a good number of adjustments made, they could do that. In the game, they can sometimes move by themselves.
