made it for me.

Where do you get the backgrounds from?

PepsiTheHorse, sorry you're having trouble.
First, there isn't an engine. It gets electrical power off of simulated third rail and overhead catenary (where applicable).

Second, The "engine noise" you are hearing is actually the air compressor (yes that is pretty much what they sound like in real life). If it is continually running you are moving the brake handle to release after the brakes have fully released. The handle will automatically return itself to the "Lap" position, allow it to do so.
Leaving the Brake Handle in release over charges the brake pipe and the compressor gets "confused" and will keep trying to pump/charge the reservoir.
This is also part of the simulation and a real occurrence that could happen with Non Self-Lapping Brake systems.

Hope that helps. Please double check the "reading material" above it might help you with any further issues.

Have a nice day, and ENJOY!

it still moves, but the constant starter noise is very irritating

i can only get it to move off battery the engine wont start

squeaker0704, hope you had a nice time! Which museum?

i road one of thes at a musem

just remember to add a indicator block somewhere that specifically states you are the owner of it, cause if there is customization, there is plagiarism.

Dude, thats actually awesome.

For the blimp you're making, you could make a couple paint variants, one being blank for custom advertisements!

Dolphin, have you been digging around in my computer?!
I have a Blimp planned down the pipeline too!
While it would look and operate similarly to the Goodyear Blimp I'm thinking I might paint it in Carnivore's "STATUS RING" logo.

god forbid the chicago water taxi

@GERUNIMO,

Yeah, there isn't a lot of beaches, and yeah they are mostly for fun (the hovercrafts)
thank you for responding, and I am truly looking forward to the SR.N4!

On another note, another request that you might consider, I think it would be interesting to see a good year blimp from you. Sorry for asking for things, but I really like your work, it would be cool to see it be used in various areas of expertise that you haven't covered yet.

great work!

Airplane ;), oh sure smaller fresh water tankers, barges, and refueling ships all make perfect sense.

Don't get me wrong though; I am glad the folks that make those monsters do! I admire the work, and it gives you an idea of the size of those behemoths. Having personally never seen one myself.

well of course, cause its a 1:1 scale, in a game thats not meant for 1:1 scale models, i dont know if it counts as a tanker, but there were smaller sized tanker ships that went up the Mississippi

Airplane ;), if we're talking about a 1:1 massive tanker, I tend to disagree. They are too big to fill/empty quickly, too big to fit in any port, not to mention laggy.

Now something smaller like a Coaster or a Bunkering ship, I agree completely with you. They are versatile and remain economic enough to operate.

oil tankers are actually fairly useful in career with the industrial dlc, as you can cut out the cost of fuel completely

Dolphin, howdy and thanks for the very nice comment! I'm glad you like the hovercraft(s).
As for making more, I have researched and begun construction on the SR.N4 Mk.1 'Princess Margaret' (it's barely a competed hulk at the moment).
My plan being to at some point complete the entire Sea Speed fleet (including the HM-2).

Sorry it's not a 8100 TD. Never say never, maybe some day.

As for both the SR.N4 and the 8100 they are both BIG, and due to the general lack of beaches ingame it makes them relatively ill suited for anything beyond "playing" with. Not unlike ocean liners or oil tankers.

Regardless, thanks for the comment and the idea!

1 up them and make a 8101

hi @GERUNIMO

I was wondering if you could make another hovercraft? You made really good ones and I think it would be interesting to see how you would tackle something like a 8100 td hovercraft.

think about it maybe, thank you for your cool stuff!

Airplane ;), well... "Trams" are typically used in urban settings. Whereas (as the name suggests), Interurban's would have serviced between urban areas, often rural countryside. Not dissimilar to DMU's or EMU's (Diesel/Electric Multiple Unit) used in other countries.

Yes, searching tags ingame would be a nice feature.

this would be classified as an AMT i think, which stands for automatic train or tram, so i dont think train would be wrong. also i wish we could search by tags ingame );

Airplane ;), thats not a bad idea, I'll try and figure out how to change the tags. I equally didn't want to confuse people by labeling it as something it's not.
Thanks for the advice!

you should add something like locomotive, engine or train to the workshop name. its a wonderful build but i dont think anyones gonna remember the name

On Discord

Look For PilotKyle

Sent you a Friend Request

PILOTKYLE1, cool! I'm on Discord under the same name seen here. I look forward to seeing it!

I mean if you want i kinda already modded it if you want to somehow get the files

PILOTKYLE1, I can throw your idea on "the pile" I have loads of other projects I'm trying to get through first however. But never say never, and thanks for the idea!

Its Fixed Just wondering if you could mod your T-6 to be one

PILOTKYLE1, I'm sorry I don't understand. Are you asking me to verify if the landing gear of the BT-14 are fixed or retracting; or are you requesting me to make it?
Hope you have a nice day regardless.

Ok apparently the BT-14 is the closer variant to the T-6

Could You look Into The North American BT-14/ BT-9 It kinda seems to be a Fixed gear T-6

UPDATE 10 JUNE 2023
- Fixed Headlights swinging around and other small visual glitches
ENJOY!

Thanks, by the way smth means something

Jebus Crust, I don't know what "smth" means, but they are building facades kindly made by Enzocat's and arranged in such a manner to provide the setting for the screenshots. Nothing was done/made in Blender.
Hope that helps.

Yo is the first few pictures an actual map or is like just blender or smth

lsgclan1, I always appreciate the vindication from folks like you. My experiences with railroading stem only from more recent equipment, so I lack any knowledge with older and especially electrified rollingstock.

As to the different colors in the cab, I have found some images where it appears the cab was painted a maroon, and others where indeed it was painted red. I decided on the maroon if only because (ingame) it tends to make it look "weird" or that I seemingly forgot to paint it :D

I have considered doing more Interurbans (especially third rail powered cars), but I have several other projects to finish/start first. Will see what happens down the road.

Thanks for the nice comment!

P.S. Speaking of Interurbans, you should consider upgrading yours from a few years ago, I LOVED them!

Other than the interior of the cab not being the same red as the outside, this is an excellent recreation of first order of steel cars that the CA&E acquired, and that's coming from someone who helps maintain them IRL. You should consider building 450 series (451-460), or some of the North Shore Line interurbans

coil_07, coming from you Sir that means ALOT! Thank you!

Dolphin, thanks for filling in and answering questions. My computer took a nose dive this week so I've been out of the game, pun intended.

Infinite electricity being on or off really doesn't effect much, but it does cut down on some of the weird noises if left off, infinite fuel has no effect.

Incredibly well done im convinced you can not make a bad vehicle

@Britannic fan, it has 10 speeds but it needs to be increased slowly. You should also make sure that the HANDBRAKE at the #2 cabin is released(on).

I don't know how infinite electricity changes it, or even infinite fuel, so make sure to turn them off.

Where get modded track pls pls pls

Well so when I start it up (I started it correct) and it moved at about a hundredth of its top speed.

@GERUNIMO
putting the uh-60 behind, maybe you could do another train? such as the chicago subway train

they're a facade. @Stubbertville

hmmm what are the buildings in the background?

Dolphin, thanks for letting me know about the headlight issue. I'll see what I can do to fix it

As for your request I'm never one to throw away a good idea; however, there are already some VERY good 60's available on the workshop and some in development, so I and reluctant to reinvent the wheel as it were. But, never say never, I'll throw your idea on the "pile".

Thanks for the nice comments!

PybroShark, thanks glad you like it!

I also suggest fixing the front and back lights. The new gimbal update screwed up the rotation, it sticks to the right

@GERUNIMO

I know the answer is probably no, but I was wondering if you'd be up to make a helicopter like the Sikorsky UH-60. It would be really interesting to see a vehicle such as that or others in your particular method of building. Think about it?

nice
