Tram search

[saf75]

hi guys, i'm looking for some long modern style trams (3+carriages) i've tried searching the dls but theres just too much to search through
any suggestions welcomed.

Try username "robin_hoods"

 

[carr]

Can I ask, are you looking for something British or European?

 

[nathanmallard]

Several on the DLS, try the username "cosey". Also, I have 1985 Blackpool Centenary class tram up there too, just search for "641". It's not a brilliant model though, a better version will be going up soon.

thanks guys. i've got nottingham's trams being that A: they come up when searching dls for trams & B: im from nottm myself
as for british or european i'm really not fussed either way, just looking for more options, any & all suggestions welcomed.

im also open to suggestions for hst, was on 2009 world builder edition until i recently upgraded to 2012 & was playing about with the maglev trains but they arent really an option on 12, so im looking for something to replace them with too, im currently using the jr500's off the dls, again, any & all suggestions welcomed

just checked out the bn bd series, i like the way they work, but there too high for what i want.
yes i know im picky but thats why i've asked you guys for suggestions

Another request for knowledgeable person(s) to create Trams, streetcars, LRV's, Trolleybuses, and buses. modern ones. Where possible passenger enabled, working doors, driving cabs, interior settings etc., working destination signs, and appropriate pantographs. Continuing in the same vein, Roads which which will show trackage and include overhead wiring for streetcars or trolleybuses. plus passenger enabled stops, for North American/European LH drive vehicles. This is a partial list, I am sure there are services or utilities that could be added to the list.
Currently there are some Trams, buses etc. but for the most part are dated. It would be nice that the item created by downward compatible with most versions of Trainz.

saf75 iceman produced a modern tram.

 

[saf75]

sorry guys had a busy few days
paperpusher, i'm guessin i've hit a bit of a sore point

im downloadin iceman's trams & i've found 2 more, 1 produced by michaelwhiteley & 1 by memeboy, all of which i'll report back on as to how good they are.
im still open to suggestions if anyone knows of anymore, & i'm still looking for some high-speed trains if anyone knows of any.

thanks john, that looks pretty cool, i'll check it if/when i get desperate. i'm hoping to keep my map to the dls if i can.
unfortunately, neither iceman's or michaelwhiteley's trams work on ts12 :'(

 

[JCitron]

I was able to get those trams to work. It took some fixing of the usual things in the config.txt files and some textures. Post the kuids and the errors and we can help you.

The Polish trams are really nice. You might want to check them out anyway. There were a few missing dependencies but I was able to get around those.

[saf75]

Okay well first off you can open them both up, go into both config's, find the line for Attachment point 28 and delete it, in both trams...I think I'm right when I say this.

Warning's, you can ignore. They're just Trainz having a bit of a paddy.

Seems all the errors are to do with one particular texture file, the env_metal.texture file which I believe is actually a document rather than a bitmap/png/tga etc... Have you altered the trams in any way? Could you try to re-download them?

If you can't tell I'm not too clued up on this but you're in very capable hands when John (jcitroen) comes back online - he's helped me with issues like this in the past relating to trams

Check out 'General Trainz' Old content help thread, there might be something in there that will be of help to you.

 

[saf75]

[carr]
