NSWR F-Set Red Rattler

Description
In the 1920s many suburban lines of the growing metropolis Sydney were electrified. Therefore a large number of these EMUs, called "Standard Suburbans" were built. They were very reliable and featured wide doors and a fast acceleration, developed for commuter trains. They got really famous for the always-opened doors and were nicknamed as "Red Rattlers" due to the rattling windows and engines. In the 1960s the trailer coaches of many sets were replaced by new Tulloch-double decker coaches, and later the windows of the old controller cars were replaced by Beclawat-windows, which both gave the trains a very specific look. These trains were 67 years in daily service and withdrawn until 1993.

Features:
- Custom Sound-Set
- Partually always-opened doors
- 2 different operation conditions (1940s with coat of arms and decorations/1960s with double decker)

Vehicle specifications:
- Vehicle type: Electric railcar
- Available: 1926-1950 / 1950-1980
- Top speed: 80 kph
- Power: 800 kW
- Tractive effort: 200 kN
- Weight: 99 / 101 tons (whole train)

For damages to software or hardware, I accept no responsibility.

I wish you very much fun with these unique vehicles and a pleasant journey!

I'm still not sure if I will just convert or completely overhaul it. I think I will try the converted EMU in TPF2 and see if the quality still meets my standards.

Domtrain, will you be porting this to TPF2 or willing to let a modder port it for you? We desperatly need Aussie stuff for TPF2 cheers
