Can i make a repaint of the Trailblazer to the Erie Lackawana railroad

Can you do an unpainted version like with the pacific pack?

@UltraChicken_ I had some time and a helpful debugger to get costs more balanced with this pack. I am going to update the other mods as well with this same configuration.

Oh. :winter2019neutralyul:

@Sonio - I tried this idea before and it defeats the purpose of making these mods. Sorry. I just don’t plan to make a plain skinset for these passenger cars. They were intended to be fallen flag mods.

@NA4U. Imagine the coaches, baggage cars , dome cars, and observation cars being plain so that I can put custom colors on them. :blockhead:

Nice, love all these observation cars.

This now includes the "Trailblazer" square end obs, and the streamlined obs.

Okay, no worries. Thank you!

I’ll take a look at this and see what I can do. I no longer have testers to work with to help me test out my mods so It’s taking me alot longer to make any.

Honestly I wasn't too sure myself so I decided I'd run the numbers and compare per passenger running costs for the alternative carriages I have available. Here's the numbers I got, all carriages are vanilla unless otherwise noted
Six-Axle Passenger Car: $10,959.45/passenger
P54 (mod content): $12,063.78/passenger
Heavyweight 28-1 Parlour: $19,107.68/passenger
Streamlined New Mexico: $15,501/passenger

I averaged this out to $14,408.4/passenger for comparable passenger options for the 1930s time frame. I realised why running costs were so comparatively high when I ran the numbers on the P85's:
$21,596.91/passenger

Using the average I calculated for the other cars * the passenger capacity on the P85s, I got $792,441.85. I think this is a reasonable number, however would not be opposed to it being higher than this given the utility of a 55 capacity carriage.
I appreciate the quick reply you gave me, wasn't expecting to hear back for a while, lol.

@UltraChicken_. The set values are what the game set the cars to by default. I can take a look at costs to see if I can get that fixed. I am not sure what to set it at so it’s not too low tho. Any suggestions? Thanks for the compliments.

I love these coaches, and as someone who used to live in PA, it lets me add a little touch of home to my games, but I find when I add them to my lines, I get the authentic PRR experience and see my line's earnings inverted. I had a line with 5 trains, all with base game GG1s and steam workshop MP54 passenger coaches. I was making about 5m on the route and had a capacity of ~350. When I unlocked these carriages, I added these onto the line and cut some trains so it had a total capacity of roughly 400, with one train still using MP54s. After I did this, I saw my profits on the line drop to -5m. The GG1 with MP54's was still running at a net profit, but all my P85s were in the red. Is there something I'm missing here? I love the assets, and I really want to use them with the GG1's as the MP54s have a much lower top speed.

I have now published a fix for the LOD 1 issues, sorry about that guys.
NA4U  [author] 9 May, 2020 @ 2:17pm 
I was not aware of this. I will have to take a look at it. the dumb FBX Importer rotates all the mesh files when it exports them. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll have to see if I can fix it.

The lods are broken in this - if you zoom too far out it turns sideways

Keep up the good work! You're keeping all of us interested in North American railroading sane

@Warrior_359 That signal bridge is made by NS_37 who made the NEC catenary pack. Yes baggage cars are coming as well.

@Doom Six X-ray - These cars are also upgraded designs from the TPF1 versions I had previously made. More coming.

Finally we're getting our PRR catalog of mods back from TpF1
Warrior_359 29 Mar, 2020 @ 6:03pm 
great, will a baggage car follow suit and if i may, where did you get the signal bridge from?
sull51 28 Mar, 2020 @ 10:50pm 
Great !!
The PPR had about 20 named trains. Creation of additional wagons for them?
Boko Disraeli 28 Mar, 2020 @ 3:13pm 
Great work, especially on the congressional scheme. Now all we need is a stainless GG1!
General Tso 28 Mar, 2020 @ 1:19pm 
Thank you!

I haven't tried them in game yet. But the pictures look great!
