W&R steam engine locomotives

12 items

Description

This is my first ever attempt to mod a vehicle to this game. Thanks to all guides and authors in W&R Community!

I created this mod for early steam locomotive for my personal use and decided to share. Since there is not many options for early train engines for custom start dates.

Note: this is not a realistic representation of an actual historic model, but resembles to SY1000 or SY 0652. The SY 2-8-2's were the smallest of the three major standard class of steam locomotives in modern China. They were used heavily in industry and mining and were well liked amongst crews for their easy operation and maintenance. Many survived well into the 2000's and used in industry and mining and some are still in use.

As the original model Author of the model mentions "...last steam locomotive built in the world. Purchased from China by the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad, a local tourist railroad in my home town"

I did not make an original model. Original credic goes to sketchup user "ddufon" in 3d warehouse. I imported and adapted it for the game. I used original game textures to do texture mappings, learning how to do them myself in free time.

Working head light, coal tender wagon included

Stats might not be correct - made with default soviet train for early starts:

Country of Origin: Soviet Union
Availability: 1929-1965
Max speed: 80km/h
Power: 950kw
Price: Default price RUB

Known issues:
- Some faces on the model might not have textures or have a flat colour (now should be fixed)
- One face is missing on one side of modified
smokebox. You don't notice it much. Might be a glitch happening when converting into game file (now should be fixed)
- On the tight turns, locomotive position might be a little bit offset
- Valve gears and pistons are static.
- Work in progress!

Mod update: small tweaks to tenter model and engine to be more in correct scale. Some geometry tweaks.

Feel free to add comments or any relative info or recommended stats for this train.Thank you very much for trying this loco out!

There seems to be a big gap between the tender and the locomotive.

Amazing Mod!

I agree with your arguments, they have logic. Still, it is a pity that the game does not give us the opportunity to expand the time frame, at least until the 50s, and there is no such technique for slow development. Thank you!

@dr.Yang this mod is intended to be used as "early pre-game start. Like from 30's and currently there are no trains to use for these dates as diesels. If you start in default 60's - I agree, the train is expensive comparing to superior models of diesel trains. I believe the game calculates the pricing based on tonnage of the vehicle and I suppose steam engines are far more heavy (with tender full of coal) making them expensive by game logic, thus economically not liable as soon as diesel locos are out with due dates. Look at the first ever steam loco mod of BR by Fiend - that train set even more expensive and weights a lot. In my personal plays, I find the use of early trains even more feasible on long term: especially in winter hauling cargoes non-stop between cities and remote villages as most of the prewar vehicles from our great modders are still slow moving + snowy roads make them even less effective IMHO.

All this is certainly good, models, all that, and the smoke is coming. But when applied to the economy, if a person plays hardcore-this technique does not make any sense. It should cost-a penny, the license for it is even lower. In theory, these are outdated technologies. So make it economically feasible to use it.

dr.Yang 9 Mar, 2021 @ 11:32pm

Всё это конечно хорошо, модельки, всё такое, и дым идет. Но применительно к экономике, если человек играет на хардкоре-эта техника не имеет никакого смысла. Она должна стоить-копейки, лицензия на нее еще ниже. Теоретически-это устаревшие технологии. Так сделайте экономически оправданной ее применение.
