[Amtrak72]

OMG!!!! FINALLY!!! A WORKABLE METRA CABCAR!!! THANK YOU!!!:udrool: :udrool: :udrool: Cant wait for this!

Love how it looks. And i LOVE that cab!! Keep up the great work!

"Thread Subscribed" Please tell me this will work in TS:Mac (TS:2010)

 

[Gameboy900]

AWESOME!! I am assuming this will have all the cool features as the old one right?

 

[ivantr]

Yes, this cabar is going to have interior( both cab and passenger view), animated trucks, animated doors, braking/status lights, bell and ditchlights, nightmode, custom sounds and script and other features. I want to give to the cabcar all that is possible in trainz and i want to make it the more realistic that it can be. Now i know how to make the trucks

Cheers

Anybody see the train too wide. The width of the train is 3 meters in the pic

I was thinking it looked to short, not to wide...

[mikey186]

I think it's perfect!

 

[Amtrak72]

wow, keep up the great work!!! Looks really nice! All the bogies need now is some detail! Just a little tip. I am looking at the position of the bogies and it's a little off. The front bogies are a tiny bit under the last window to the front of the cab car. Here is what It really looks like-

Notice the front bogies are under only 2 windows, while yours look like they are under 3. It may just be the camera angle, and I might be wrong. But i'm just trying to help you here.

I agree with this statement.

I think I found a diagram of one with the appropriate dimensions somewhere on the internet. I'll let you know if I find it again.

 

[Amtrak72]

I'm uploading a video for my Youtube channel(link in sig). And I filmed the front
of the cabcar, so you'll be able to see how its setup with all the hoses, bell, coupler, etc.. I'll give you the link once it's up!

Lots of thanks to all. I never expected that level of info. The cabcar now is 22 meters but im going to enlarge it to 25 or 26 meters ¿is ok?
And i have corrected the trucks problem

See this pic


There is a great work to do, help is needed
Thx to all

Cheers

Very nice Metra cabcar, I'm not trying to start a flame war in any way shape or form but the windows look a bit out of scale, Can't quite tell if they are too tall or too short but something doesn't look quite right there, if you need any help fixing just let me know
