HCMT Extension and Rebalance

This mod is modification of Luke.P123's mod to add 3, 6, and 10 carriage configurations to the HCMT, in addition to correcting speed, acceleration, and braking values in line with specifications in tender documents. Player composition of trains is also now enabled using Dellner outer couplers and bar type inner couplers, and a Motor Control Pantograph car added (see below). You'll find these new configuration as a new option available separately from Luke.P123's existing HCMT mod. You'll notice a different capacity between the number reported by the game and that of the train set when purchasing. The game is programmed with the crush load capacity, however this capacity is very uncomfortable for passengers. You should aim to keep passenger loadings below the stated capacity in the buy menu, which corresponds to contract specified capacity at a density of 6 passengers per square metre (1.78 square feet per passenger).

Unsubscribing from this mod will only be possible if no trains of this mod exist in your save as is true of most train mods; if you wish to do so you'll need to re-purchase your trains using Luke.P123's mod. Costs per carriage are equal between the two mods, so 7 car trains will incur no cost.

3 and 6 car trains are inspired by Marcus Wong's 2021 blog post[wongm.com] featuring photoshopped images of HCMT trains. 3 Car "Low Capacity Metro Trains" are not specified, however the 6, 7 and 10 car trains are provided for in the HCMT's tender documents[www.tenders.vic.gov.au] under Schedule 27 (Technical Specifications). To accommodate for 3 car trains with sufficient power-to-weight ratios, a "Motor with control and pantograph" car had to be added, in addition to a small extract of Luke.P123's original texture to add a pantograph visually to applicable Mcp cars.
