I've republished the Tangara in 9 different varieties - these two I've packaged and published over the original item. Unfortunately I overlooked one thing and it will mess up any existing trains in your cities - specifically they will just appear to be the engine carriage and lose all their trailers. This can be remedied by removing and re-adding the vehicles. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi gerdkelly, I did this one before I knew how to set that automatically, if you use advanced vehicle options mod or advanced transport manager (I think that's the right name), you can set the last car to be the same as the first, which should solve that issue for you.

Good work, but the Tangaras are missing the rear carriage in my cities for some reason.
A red rattler would be nice too.

Hey again, that's something I need to do when I publish it, as you can see in some of my other trains, I've put out line coloured and non-line coloured versions. I'm about to publish a new train, but after that I plan to revisit the Tangara and make some improvements, one of which will be offering a non-line coloured version.

So, short answer is you can't for now. I will try and put out new Tangara sets in November..

I agree and will be doing this, expect it in mid november probably. I'm not putting this one out as an 8 car set, I'll redo the whole model and texture to bring it up to the detail and optimisation of my other trains. The other reason I didn't put it out as an 8 car set is because I didn't know at the time how to do the two engines in the middle, but I do now :)

Now that youve got the A set and k set as 8 cars. I see no problem with a tangara being 8 cars.

Thank you very much for the A set. Looks perfect.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1522608446 8 and 6 car sets on the workshop now :)

Thanks. Put Sydney Metro on your bucket list as well please.

A set will be on the workshop before the end of the month :) https://twitter.com/bobsymay/status/1043815269708193793?s=19

I will do the Oscar (H) at some point but probably not the millenium (M). Next after A is V.

Any plans to make newer CityRail sets such as M, H or A set for Steam?

:D wonderful! I'm glad it was all worth it.

I hope it works :)

Then you hit Ctrl+S to save it, for the record.

Is this a prank, for real - you could go back and read my comment, I also added it to the description..
OK, so inside the group

<pantograph-trains-to-metro>

add a line like this

<items workshop-id="1415447462" description="Tangara" replace-last-with-trailer="true" />

Right click, Open with, Notepad.

Well use the search function to find the folder called "Cities_Skylines" - I got 10 results. Check the addresses for something similar to what I posted, check each one, it's in one of them.

Here's what it looks like for me on Windows 10.
C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines

There should be three folders in AppData, Local, LocalLow, Roaming. Indexed DB is usually further down on specific applications.. what version of Windows are you on?

Reread what I said and let me know when you get to the AppData folder.

So you'd go to windows, users, your username, make sure you have hidden folders visible (this is under folder options in windows settings), look for a folder named AppData, then Local, Colossal Order, Cities_Skylines, and it's called TrainConverter-Config.xml

OK, I've done your homework for ya, got it working. :P
I read the description and you do need to go into the config file (%LocalAppData%\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\TrainConverter-Config.xml) and add this line within the <pantograph-trains-to-metro> group: <items workshop-id="1415447462" description="Tangara" replace-last-with-trailer="true" /> this will add both the 4-car and 6-car into your list of Metro trains. Try it out.

I'm telling you I have no experience with Metro Overhaul Mod at all. I do not know. I wouldn't think so, as the asset editor is just where you pick the number of carriages, and set passenger capacity. Nothing in the descriptions for the mod I've seen mention the asset editor as part of converting trains.

It's no trouble, I just have no experience with MoM yet - everyone is free to change it in the asset editor, or even dump the asset using ModTools, whatever you need to do to make use of it. I don't think there's anything different about the asset that would interfere with the train converter mod - you should try and troubleshoot with some other ones.

have you tried converting other workshop trains?

I honestly don't know - careful with contacting the author as the description does warn he'll delete comments if people raise issues covered in the description :P

Mod description says you need to restart the game if you converted assets in-game for the config to take effect? I'm limited in my tech support here, I haven't done it myself yet.

Seems like you can do it from your end with the train converter mod that accompanies the Metro Overhaul Mod project

Hi @volkmanns1, usually that problem is the other way around with the motor on the front but not back. If you use Improved Public Transport 2 mod, you can modify the capacity and speed of all the trains in your save game, and there will be a check button to add engines to both ends. That should solve your issue. As for MoM it should be possible, I don't know what you or I need to do, I'll investigate.

Yes Rob! Waratah set is a great idea!! Look forward to see the new master piece :)

ah gotcha. thanks alot @robert. not a big deal, in the meantime i have all my lines set to the yellow/orange colour to keep it looking true to life. looking forward to your next release :)

So to answer your question @jq371, there's no way to remove the line colouring besides republishing it with the colour set in the texture.

Thanks all. I've learned a lot from releasing the Tangara and I will offer several versions of the K set as separate items: 4-car, 8-car, props, and now I think I should include a no-line-colour variant of each too! I might need to return to improve the Tangara and republish some variants, but will probably do the Waratah before circling back. 👍

wow... i looooove this tangara..... it has replaced all my trains now in my city. Cant wait to see your K-sets etc and wonder if you plan on doing any state transit buses, maybe even older MBO305?? Also is there a way to remove the line colour from changing the train colour so i can make every lines vehicle uniformed without adjusting the specific line colour?

i love it!! thx!

Dear Robert, as a sydneysider, you have no idea how much i enjoyed all your brilliant assets, especially the Tangara train set, totally amazing! I really hope you can make some other new Sydney train sets!

Rev0, I mean. I'll experiment and see if I can figure it out.

I need to reach out to Vevo and ask how they do the train sets with engines in the middle, because I'd want to do it right and have an 8-car t set have the two engines in the middle, i.e. two 4-car sets connected..

can you do a 8set t-set

The K Set and the S set are about the same. But, The K Set has AC. And the S Set was made about 10 years before the K Set came out. Thanks for the help by the way and keep it up!

Thanks so much for making this i live in sydney and always ride on these Trains

Thanks @jonhayes61, if you use the Improved Public Transport 2 mod you can set which vehicle types will appear on the lines you create. If you use Advanced Vehicle Options mod I believe you can block the vanilla trains from coming from the edge of the map.

I am currently working on a model for the K Set, which.. I don't want to enrage any train enthusiasts but it's pretty much the same thing as the S Set.. right? :P

Oh, and one last thing. Are you able to do the S set please? They are about to retire and something like that will give it a nice salute goodbye. (They have not been treated well for the past 10 years.)

This might be a stupid question but... How am I able to change the diffrent types of trains? I am using this Train for a line to Australia Square. (From your mod, LOVE IT!) But then it is used by the other intercity trains. (The other lines are all fine.) Do you know how to fix it?

Ah, that's a great idea! I will return to trains soon, wrapping up an office tower

AWESOME!!! Can you please release a prop version? Would look great in a rain yard.

I fixed the URL, it was including the brackets in the hyperlink and messing up the address!

Steam does that sometimes, but it's not a malicious link. Search for "Improved Public Transport 2" in the workshop and use that. Then when you set up a line, you can click "select types" and it will be in the menu of available trains. I'm not sure if it's possible to use custom trains on lines without a mod like that one.
Other than that it will have a random chance of spawning as a train from outside the city, unless disabled with a mod like Advanced Vehicle Options.

Great work Robert! sorry a dumb question, do I need to do anything special to use this wonderful train? I can't seem to find any option to change carriage in game after subscription... the link you posted above "Improved Public Transport 2" has been marked as malicious link by STEAM. Many thanks :)

Is there any chance you could reskin a 4 car into the 4D from Melbourne?

Thanks Petarkco, the default train shader just blasts windows at full brightness I think.. I'm curious about whether I can use a different shader to get a more subtle effect, I'll explore this on the next train I make and if successful try and apply it to this as well.
