Hello! I've come with a handful of ideas.

For the truck addon, are you planning to add the car carrier to the rigid chassis? I think it'd be a great option for towing vehicles around, while still being more compact than a full tractor with trailer. Speaking of the tractor unit, will there also be a single rear axle variant?

The mini trains are really fun to use. I saw that you're planning to re-do the rails at some point, so I've wanted to ask if you're going to make the slope pieces similar to those of the new suspension train? As in, having a separate curved piece that curves up/down, and then being able to attach straights onto it? Currently, making continuous long slopes is impossible, since the edge pieces are flat and sharp. Quite a bumpy ride that usually ends in tears and regret.

I also saw somebody here asking about a way to control the speed of automated trains, so I wanted to suggest doing this in the form of signs. You could find it among the other signs that are bundled in the AMT addon, and once spawned in, you could open the properties window from the context menu, and enter the desired speed into the text field. When the train passes this sign, it detects it, just like the AMT detects a station sign, and follows the set speed limit. It could also be possible to change the speed value remotely through wire. Whether you'd want the sign to be dynamic, and actually show the set number, is up to you. I've seen something like this in a Minecraft mod that added road signs. You could put in a custom number, and it'd show it on the sign itself.

My last suggestion is a fun one. Have you ever seen those railroad maintenance trucks? Those that have deployable rail axles. Were you thinking of making one at some point? Either as a variant to the trucks addon, or as a separate vehicle entirely. I'm not entirely sure what purpose they'd serve. My only idea is to have a crane attachment. Like a cranetrain/cranetruck in one. But maybe you could come up with something more fun.

It's mostly caused because our slider have no physic model in the middle anymore.
But the real thing is that my trains never fully worked on his maps. Therefore I made the post in his discussions where you can disable these triggers and he added it to his description.

I can't change them back, we worked very long on this model and all my trains are set on that. Sorry.

I think it would be rather difficult to do in the Source Engine. It is likely that it would not be able to support much weight.

Fair enough

I was also thinking to add that car ramp for my wagons. Like my rerailer that you simply put on track so you can enter it from the side. Making a prop isn't that hard, but other things have more priority at the moment.

I was gonna suggest a dedicated loading ramp for the Car Carrier railcar, but that might be more effort than it's worth, since 2-wide PHX plates work okay. The idea mainly stemmed out of maps not having loading areas for the car carrier, but it's such a specific problem that I don't think it would be worth the time to make said loading ramp.

No, not gonna happen.
Use one of the 3 turntables and add the buffer stop to the lines that you wont use.
