Description
Here is PART 1 :
(of many...many parts)

This is the start of my trains being turned into functioning vehicles!

THESE ARE PASSENGER TRAINS: I design these trains to be used as passenger trains so you can control the routes in which you want them to take... this means you have full control over what trains are on your map, where they go, and how they flow on your railroad. The trains benefit from a bunch of mods of your choice.
My recommendations are invisible train stations, advanced vehicle options ( this is to control the movement of the train IE: speed, braking, tilt), and most importantly TMPE ( I suggest setting speed limits on your tracks to give realistic speeds and deceleration for your trains.

These trains are not made for beginners, Its a choose your own adventure. I am supplying the vehicles, you are required to use creativity on how you would like to use them. There might be a slight learning curve to get them functioning realistically....for that I am sorry but Cities is limited on how trains operate.

There are 10 trains in the pack :

1 engine with 20 full cars
1 engine with 55 empty cars
1 reversed engine with 20 empty cars
2 engine with 50 full cars
2 engine with 30 full cars
3 engine with 50 full cars
2 engine with 50 empty cars
1 engine with 30 empty cars
4 engine with 95 full cars+
4 engine with middle engine halfway through and 99 full cars+

+ Trains with plus sign are super long,...longer than any other one on the workshop. It is vital to plan the track where the station is to be a stop to prevent the cars from sliding sideways as the train pulls away from the station.
( maybe hide the stations on the edge of the map or underground. Its up to you! +++

once all of the coal trains are released by brand I will release a pack based on size of the trains IE: small, medium ,long but they will be multiple brands. It its completely up to you on what you want to subscribe too and use!

I hope all of you enjoy what I make....And i wish all of you best of luck with YOUR MODEL RAILROAD!!!!

the coal cars on my map appear bright red instead of black in the images. anyone know how to fix?

Same here! Still a big fan of these for the simulated traffic. I hope you're able to find the time again later in the future, would love to see more of anything you're willing to share :)

Fair enough. Just checking.
I'm using these as dummy traffic for my map and they serve that purpose very well. :)

I have put my assets on pause. I have not had enough time, or knowledge to get the trains optimized for all of you. The tri counts and being this long just cause a lot of lag, and I don't have enough skill to make better versions. Hopefully down the road another maker like REVO can release a new freight car pack which I can then load on my to my engines. Until my then projects are dead

Has the plan to make these into freight trains been abandoned?

Any update on the plan to release these as freight trains?

I will release a small pack for this weekend of cargo versions 😀 stay tuned

Ok Thank you. I commented prior to fully reading the description above. I've been building my hometown and it is CSX coal only with no passenger rail so I got excited seeing this asset. Hopefully you do decide to do the cargo version. It's really great to see real life road-names on the rails now. Thanks Again.

I might release cargo versions. This issue is the randomness of cargo trains. So I did passenger to have control over where they go and what line has what train.

Awesome model. 95 car trains look great rolling around my city. Only issue is they are showing up as passenger trains instead of cargo trains. Is this something you can fix? Keep up the great work.
