would you plz make east coast chessie system bno engine pack or a few quickly. this is doodle bug thanks. let me know

I didn't even realize these were vehicles since it lacked the tag, can't miss these anymore.

@IndyTransplant Are you using AVO to prevent the trains from spawning? If so, then I'm not sure what's going on there. I use AVO to "block" these trains from spawning on one of my maps and have not seen them at all.

Don't know if maybe you have another mod that's conflicting with AVO or not.

If you don't have AVO, though, then maybe give it a try, see if that keeps them from spawning...?

@CommanderHobo87 I'm having the opposite problem. I only wanted the props. I have all of the vehicles turned off, but long trains keep spawning. I even went around and deleted all existing trains on the map, but I watched one appear at one of my own stations, not just pull in.

@shive1964 in CS, go to Content Manager > Assets. Search for Retro, look for the train assets that are marked as "Vehicle", not "Prop". Make sure the "On / Off" box is filled in blue. If they're on, load up your city and then just wait (sometimes it takes a while for them to spawn).

While not required, the Advanced Vehicle Options mod does help verifying the asset it loaded. It's also handy if you don't want the vanilla trains to spawn in (you can disable them in AVO).

Late to the party (almost 2 years), I know, but figure'd I'd add this in case anyone else gets the vehicle effects parsing error message you got.

It turned out there were 2 extra "</Vehicles>" closing tags present in the VehicleEffectsDefinition XML about halfway down. There should only be one of those closing tags at the very bottom of the file.

<Steam install directory>\steamapps\Workshop\content\255710\1397356782\VehicleEffectsDefinition.xml, you can open it in Notepad and delete the extra tags.

CAUTION! Make sure you only delete the 2 extra "</Vehicles>" (plural) in the MIDDLE of the file, not the "</Vehicle>" (singular) tags that are scattered throughout nor the "</Vehicles>" at the very bottom as those are required.

Hope this helps.

Do I have to enable this somehow for it to show up in the game? I subscribed, but am still getting the vanilla trains.

@bsquicklehausen

This is your automated yearly reminder of the missing texture map on a certain boxcar ;)

TrailerRetroAltaMixed2 Prop You have Workshop item 1397356782 but it does not contain TrailerRetroAltaMixed2 Prop. Name probably changed by the asset author.

@bsquiklehausen

I have several of your train packs but this one throws an error upon loading.

Error while parsing vehicle effect definition file(s).
Assets will work but may have effects missing.
Contact the author of the asset(s).
List of errors:
1397356782 - 'VehicleEffectsDefinition' is expected
Line 316, position 12

Not sure whats wrong, again I have several of your train packs and have no issues with the others so something may be off here.

@AnimusNeco - no. Assets do not freeze gameplay, even ones where I forgot to import a texture map and have been too busy to fix for over a year!

Would it be possible that some of the trains, like the glowing car ones, would freeze gameplay?

@KPD87 I Have the same problem still right now :D Haha but good to see that bsquiklehausen already noticed :) ^^

@KPD87 - Thanks for the bug report! I am aware of this problem, and hope to fix it soon!

Hello sir Train.

I have weird issues with these trains. https://i.imgur.com/AItw0Ow.jpg As you can see.

Some of your retro train boxcars(?) looks like that in the screenshot. They have white bright glow at night time. When it's daytime there is no issues at all. I'm not sure if it's random or happens with certain stuff. I just wanted to tell you about it so you can fix it if there is anything really to fix. :)

Otherwise. I love these trains. All of them. Beautiful!

Bringing back my childhood. I grew up in a town where KCS and Southern Pacific were present. Southern eventually turned into Union Pacific, of course.

Ingame manager gives me a warning thats its a performance hitter

I really like these models but I'm not sure if they are vehicles or not

@The Shako'd Retard - I'll give this another check when I update the glowing cars. Thanks for the heads up!

The trains in this pack don't seem to recieve the effects of Extra Vehicle Effects. The effects mod is active, and several of your trains that are not in this pack have demonstrated custom sounds and ditch light effects, but not the ones in this pack. Any ideas?

@Sechul Lath - Feel free to use my cars for your own personal assets, but if you want to rerelease them onto the Workshop, I will need to start a commission process. Please email me at hello@bsquiklehausen.com if you want to start. Thanks!

Hey, gonna use ur flatbed cars for my military train, if you dont mind? Gonna try to make one, tanks only, like in a tank factory, also one mixed as in military transport with different vehicles?
Honestly, i dont know anything about this so ill try to learn as i go, but these cars seem like a nice platform.

@Brayden Bachlott - thanks so much! Patch coming soon.

@bsquiklehausen I found which car has the glitch. It's the orange "ALTA" grain car, the orange car in the 2nd picture.

thanks - I'll take a look!

Edit: Last car of RetroSpringWoodMixed2 as well.

As for the issue Brayden Bachlott has with the glitched texture... on my end it's the first trailer of the reverse pushing short train.

Oh my gosh! I love it! Talk about an awesome blast from the past (back when times were somewhat norma, chill and most folks got along!) Thanks for the jaunt down memory lane!!!

@bsquiklehausen I'll look and see which one it is tonight. I'll let you know as soon as I know.

@The Cadet Airman - The runways are already numbered correctly, and the taxiway letters are all correct, but we keep forgetting to say the phonetics and just say the letter. THanks for the reminder!

Ps runway numbers use a compass rose and it depends on the angle og the runway so if you runway is at a 290 degree angle the one end at 290 would be 29

Thx anyways i am building a rail yard so thats why i asked
btw with FBS when you do runway names the letters are with the phoetic alphabet, EX a is alpha b is bravo c is charlie ect.

@Brayden Bachlott - could you let me know which car it is? I don't seem to notice it, but it's entirely possible I missed an emissive map somewhere.

Looks pretty nice. Only problem is that one of the cars that's used on a couple of the trains (its a hopper car I thing) has glitched textures, so it shows up glowing white at night. Other than that, I'm loving these trains!

@The Cadet Airman - a GE AC4400CW? I have them available in multiple American Freight Train packs and trains. If you mean a GE 44 ton switcher, probably not for a while if ever. It's unique, but not well suited for Cities Skylines.

pacific*

can youi make a GE 44 Its mainly used in railyard and Union pacisic,southern pacific ect use it

@The Cadet Airman - I focus more on American trains - sorry!

*doncaster

can you please make a class 03 shunter, blue livery from doncauster

Gorgeous!

YEEE :dd

Awesome! What do you mean by "automatic weathering"?

@Brandon - part of the large size is that it uploads textures more than once. Loading Screen Mod will make it use far less RAM than the download size, since it's smart enough to realize that you can share textures.

yaaay!

Amazing! As if I needed more freight car variations, but I'll take them... I'll have the best railyard ever! Also being that this is the size of some map themes I was reluctant, but went into my Loading screen log and saw that I am only using 51% of my RAM per load... So I can't complain! Thanks for the lastest craze of assets! your badging is so clever, and of course retro

@Connie is the best girl - Feel free to do this and keep the files locally, but if you would like templates and the ability to upload/share your reskins, contact me on Twitter, Discord, or email (address available on YouTube) and we can chat about making it happen.

Hey, would you mind if i used the Geep from this and the Comets from yer ACT passenger to make a LIRR-reskin train, retro-style?
