New York City Holiday Train - Vanilla and MOM Compatible

Description
Bring a New York tradition to your city!

Every year, the New York Transit Museum runs a special vintage train throughout the holiday season, typically using their "Arnine" trains. For the first time, you can now bring the special holiday cheer to your underground and elevated lines!

These R9 cars have been members of the Museum's vintage fleet since its inception in 1976, and are frequently seen on special vintage rides, including the annual Holiday Specials. These rides are famously popular each year, and are frequently the most crowded trains on the line!

In game, this train is 6 cars long, fitting most stations without overhang. It features "Holiday Special" signage on all cars, as well as wreaths and bows made by the fantastic MrMaison on each end - matching the real train! It also features unique holiday dynamic announcements changing per direction.

Features:
  • Holiday Special rollsigns on every car, with blank rollsigns on the prop.
  • Bows and a wreath on each end of the train
  • Dynamic announcements! Realistic announcements play at stations, with different voice for each direction of the train. Voiceover done by a real NYC Subway conductor! (Requires Vehicle Effects mod)
  • Additive shader headlights, taillights, and a custom lit wreath on the ends of the train. (Requires Additive Shader mod)
  • Brand new, accurate model and textures
  • PROPS INCLUDED IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION!
  • Balanced passenger capacity
  • Vanilla metro and Metro Overhaul Mod compatible

Suggested mods for the best experience

Specs:
  • Speed/Acceleration: Same as vanilla metro
  • Tris: A reasonable amount
  • Textures: Everything shares one 1k equivalent texture and two 256x textures. LOD textures are 64px. Use LSM for true texture sharing.
  • Capacity: 330 passengers

Thank you to Distanced for the amazing screenshots, MrMaison for the wreath and bows, and to Max Diamond for the voiceover!

@bsquiklehausen Thanks. A project for next year maybe 😊

@ThornyLittleFlower - It's not possible in the way you describe, but it's sort of possible with submeshes if you have the raw model and texture files. Animation possibilities also exist but are extremely limited - rotation may be possible with the Rotor shader, though that may spin too fast to be usable for what you want.

This train was created using submeshes for the wreaths, bows, and lights, for example.

Is there a way of adding props to trains? I really wanted to edit a train in asset editor but it doesn't do what i wanted. A proper christmas train with presents and a little rotating xmas tree on it. Maybe a Santa and some elves and children in open carts. I have a feeling theres a reason none on WS. Is it just difficult or impossible?

Great idea for a special holiday train edition! It's sure to make my city festive!

I'll make the R211s when they go into service - have a lot of current trains to remake first!

Ironiclly... they're not using the Arnines this year, they're using the "Train of Many Colors" running on the 1. there is too much construction the lines they usually use, so they switched to the IRT.

@Chris6d i believe there is already a r211 by Ay' and it's pretty good.
