Static locos please!

[captainkman]

I am looking for some trains to convert to loads, and I was wondering if anyone knew of some. Preferably rusty ones, because I want to make a scrapyard industry out of it. I already have a QR DD17 and a PB15.

They can be static objects or locos without bogies. I would like them without bogies because I tried to convert one with a bogie, and it appeared as the loco itself, with no wheels. Ones with invisible bogies only would be acceptable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :wave:

You can edit the config.txt file of any loco to change it from kind:traincar to kind:scenery. Just edit per the CCG. The resulting scenery item will be without the bogies since they are separate kuids and not part of the loco mesh file.

But I want the bogies in the product as well!

Related question: Could you go to the config file and "remove" the engine, thus giving you rolling stock that could be placed "dead-in-tow"?

To kill an engine, clone it and make it into a rolling stock item by editing the config.txt file to change:

engine 0
enginespec <kuid:-1:42004201>

delete the enginesound and enginehorn tags.
delete the category class if present or change to XB

I have done this, when I did so I also removed the smoke and light tags.
Here is a suitably rusty loco:

Several Russian locos and cars can be found here:

On the above site the bogies are downloaded from a seperate catagory.

Searching the DLS for "wreck" "derelict" and "end of the line" brings up several other pieces of rolling stock and rolling stock scenery objects.
Here are a few non-DLS scenery objects:
Polish steam locos:

Russian Kch4 (750mm narrow-gauge):

Hope this helps!

I going to ask this myself since I was trying to setup some exhibits at a railroad museum.

I suppose the bogies too could be made static as well? Using category XB, and kind scenery?

To keep bogies on a scenery loco, clone the loco and edit in explorer, the config.txt file to kill any smoke/steam containers. Then place invisible rails whereever you want to place the loco and then place the loco.

Glad to help!
I've remembered that there is a VR Z class on the DLS setup as a load.
It's not rusty though:
