Matura: will you be updating your railroad crossings? Kinda wondering if could you make a 4 track version.

Interesting. You are second one to ask me about that but I don't remember making them. Well except making crossing ramps which are just three stripes of spline between tracks.
 
Hi Matura,

I have these from you:

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]<kuid:181574:1238> JPN crossing 1t v2
<kuid:181574:1240> JPN crossing 1t v3
<kuid:181574:1236> JPN crossing 1t v4
<kuid:181574:1245> JPN crossing 2t v4
<kuid:181574:1237> JPN crossing 2t v2
<kuid:181574:1239> JPN crossing 2t v3

Hope that helps jog your memory.

Yeah those are the crossing I got too. I was wondering what was the difference between the volumes and if you could make a 4 track version.
 
I understand now. Those are Kenichiros crossings. <KUID:117608:50801> + <KUID:117608:50512>
I only changed sound of the bell. It was just test for my use and looks like I accidently put it on with other stuff on mega.

Very nice!

Is the bonnet-styled KuHa 481 an integral new build or a modification of a Kenichiro asset?




I've been recently working to "refurbish" the freeware 203 series from JTrainz:

203S.jpg


The modifications include:

- Added destination indicators, train service number indicators and company logos on the front.

- replaced the original JTrainz bogeys of the KuHa units (but not with intermediate MoHa and SaHa units, due to clipping issues) with TR211 ones made by Keimei, more closely resembling the real ones (also retrofitted the JTrainz ones with a new bogeysound).

- replaced default "electric enginesound" with my JNR armature chopper enginesound.

- replaced the default "tgv" enginespec with new ones (one of the motor carriages, one for trailer ones) made by me.

- replaced the default interiors with Hirochi's 113 series ones.

- replaced the default hornsound with a new one made by me: the horn is the standard JNR EMU horn (here sampled from a 205 series) and the bell is the iconic JNR station bell plus the announcment voice saying "dooa ga shimarimasu" (doors are closing).

- replaced the original JTrainz pantographs with slimmer and more realistic ones from JIRC (Rizky).

There are three variants avaible:

- JNR one (1982-1987)

- JR East (roller-blind train service number indicator - 1987-200X)

- JR East (dot-matrix train service number indicator - 200X-2011)

Brief history:

The 203 series was introduced in 1982 by JNR to replace the 103-1000 series, wich were proving to be inadequate for inter-running services (in this case, from the TRTA Chiyoda Line to the Joban Line).

Introduced starting from 1982, it was derived from the 201 series of 1979, sharing most of the control equipment (a Mitsubishi Electric armature chopper), bogeys, pantographs... a total of 17 10-car sets (170 vehicles) were built.

By the mid-2000s the Chiyoda Line inter-running stock comprised 17 203 series sets, one single 207-900 series set and two 209-1000 series sets, a total of three different types for just 20 trains. As such, JR East sought to replace all these types with a standardized design.

Based on the then-new E233 series, the E233-2000 series was introduced in 2009 and replaced the 207-900 series set in the same year, while the 203 series was replaced two years later in 2011. The two 209-1000s were replaced in 2018 by an additional E233-2000 series set built in 2017.

Five surplus 203 series sets (51, 52, 66, 68, 69) were sold to KCI (Kereta Commuter Indonesia) in 2011. They still operate on urban and suburban commuter services in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area.
Also in 2011, a further four 203 series sets (53, 54, 55, 67) were donated to the Philippine National Railways, where they operate as (absolutely knackered) non-reversible 4-car sets hauled by a GE diesel locomotive on Manila commuter trains (the philippines have no electrified railways).

Yes, it's a modification of Kenichiro's 485 asset. I just made only a bonnet-face, remove the old face, then replace it to the body. So i don't need to buid another cars.

I'm really interested. You convert the mesh file and then you work on it on Blender or any other 3D modelling software?

I've wondered for a bit now, how to modify Kenichiro's 113 series into many other "Tokai-style" JNR-era EMUs (such as the 169 series).
 
@Alexmaria...Sorry but I have another missing asset. It is a Pantograph..kuid:501228:100377. It is missing from the JR East 203 series (MP). Have looked on Tainz kuid Index, Google search and DLS. Nowhere to be fond.

It's a one of my content dependencies, download here : http://jirctrainz.com/electric-multiple-unit/

Um, It's little bit hard if you want to rearrange the window and door position of the mesh, especially if you decided to keep the interior.
 

Thanks.

Just another question. What program do you use to convert or work on .im files?

It would work about like this: cut, copy and paste entire sections of the body (interior included), so only the doors will have to be made from scratch.

About the program, better talk this on pm only.

Um, it's not easy as you though actually.


I currently work on 583 series Interior, I'll post ss later
 
583 Series Update. I added Interior and animation doors. Will available in DLS / website soon.
Now, All I needed to complete this trainset are the sounds (engine and horn) only.
Anyone can / already make those dependencies ?
