@PoisonofPhoenix I think I've seen that done in other mods before. The 0-4-0's (Or what ever the arrangement is) and the Passenger cars could really use that. Considering the fact that I think the passenger cars take like, half the id's.
I have an idea for more id's for the mod, but i don't know is it possible to make.
For more ID's you can use like this example the slab id 44 : 5 but with the trainsmod id's
guys i hate to break to ya, but LAST TIME i checked(it posted around page 100ish i think) spitfire said he didn't know how to do that, but he could have learned how in the last 70+ pages, but i don't know. if he did learn "hooray The ID Wars are over!" if not, we WILL see some casualties.......
Eh, I suppose I'll call a medic then. And someone who knows how to make those... "sub" ids.
1: why medic?
2: to my knowledge they are known as damage values, or data values. spitfire(or some other coder) could confirm.
3: correct! ANY ONE WHO'S READING THIS, AND IS A CODER, PLEASE POST WHY YOU DIDN'T ALREADY OFFER SPITFIRE YOUR KNOWLEDGE!! please.
They're already on the way (finished just waiting to be put in game).
Unfortunately we're running out of ID's, so I dunno how much variety you'll have available in-game. HOwever, I will provide additional PNG's here for those that wish to use a Locomotive livery/road decals that isn't available in the mod.
I did a Canadian Northern SD-70 to complete the set. There weren't really any reference BN Green/stripped SD-70's so I passed on it.
But I did do Warbonnet versions since these are american classic painjobs.
Still have to do a centerbeam flatcar before we've represented a good majority of the American/North American rolling stock.
Note: The actual mod might not have all of the cars and trains seen in my screenshots. We're limited in the number of ID's that can be used, and since the mod had already used up a lot of ID's before I got involved, that limits how much I can contribute.
I will try and workout a solution with Spitfire in the future. That way you could simply download the mod and have everything in there you need. Otherwise I will provide replacement PNGs in the different liveries I've posted.
Anyhow, I have a couple more modern american cars I'm finishing.
Hope you guys like!
[EDIT] I would like to push for the seperation of the Mod into two or three Mods:
-Steam Railroadcraft
-Diesel Railroadcraft
-Electric Railroadcraft
That may give us enough space to make many of the trains people are requesting and love.
It may also solve the issue of using so many ID's. Since now you can pick and choose exactly what era you wish to put in your game.
I really hope these make it into the mod, youve done so much extraordinary work with these train models. I saw you did a steam shovel a while back in this thread. What is the likely hood of getting one of those large rolling cranes they use to pull the containers off trains and put them on trucks?
About the id problem, Eloraam, creator of Redpower, has roughly about 1000 blocks; using about 10 id's (I haven't counted it, but the scale is about same) and she is using damage values, if I remember right. Spitfires should ask her about it.
Second thing, I haven't seen much discussion about metro (or then I just failed using search function). And well, I just wanted to showe my support to the idea.
Third; Redpower compability (yes, I'm Redpower fan). I think that it would be awesome to get redpowers electric power used with trains, like IC2 electricity do work. Also, filling up steam locomotives using redpowers pumps would be nice. And overall using it like filling tanks, and ofc fill wagons inventories using tube system and so on.
There is a mod called "Railcraft" which implements cart loaders and unloaders which should work with the train wagons in this mod.
I would HIGHLY recommend Railcraft as a compliment mod to Trains and Zeppelin.

Wow, I truly know nothing of the redpower mod if it has 1000 blocks...

You know, I don't know why I haven't added railcraft to trains mod yet... also at this point... It seems like the zeppelin part of the mod is non-existent.
Just want to remind that the current version of Railcraft (5.4.7) for 1.2.5 is not the recommended version (5.4.4). When I used 5.4.7 I noticed some weird stuff (like how I couldn't set a parking brake).
If you are suggesting, perhaps a block that on one side you put in what ever type of power and on the other side have a wire going out to put on the overhead, then it should be possible. Perhaps confusing, but possible.
Oh, thanks, I must test if it runs with Redpower nicely. It would be pure awesomeness!
But is there somekind of "electric rail" or do railcraft have power line over tracks available? I'm not going to download IC2 just to have power lines for my trains...
EDIT: Yep, no electricity from redpower possible. Since these are forge mods, wouldn't it be possible to add to this mod powerline where you can attach other mod's power wires or something else?
1. yes, hey run very nicely, have both installed right now.
2. nope, there is no other power source for trains(except redstone dust, in the fuel slot), however i'd vote for the idea of a new type of track with a version of "the third rail".
3. yes that's what they did with ic2, already asked for redpower compatibly. it was shot down, because "most people have ic2, redpower 2, buildcraft etc. together." i still would like redpower compatibly somewhere. it's so much simpler using blutricity over eu.....

They're compatible. Been running them together for quite a while (with BC 3.1.6 and 3.1.5 before that)
what build of buildcraft 3.1.6 are you using? in build 49, forestry is compatible, but biofuel won't enter combustion engines. i tried a few others, but nothings works right. i tried build 102(i know it's not compatible with forestry), and after i log, and load the world, ONE chunk with buildcraft stuff is ALWAYs reset!
Oh man, if someone could make a modpack with this, the Zeppelin mod, Steamcraft, The airships mod,steamboat mod, sky pirates mod and Glimmar's steampunk, My day will be made. The Steampack!
Okay, so I used Magic Launcher to use a 1.2.5 minecraft.jar so i could use this mod. I installed EVERYTHING properly, but the trains did not move. Yes, I was pressing the right key, too. Help!
Wow, I truly know nothing of the redpower mod if it has 1000 blocks...
Well, I think it's mostly because there happen to be.......
half blocks of nearly every material
quarter slabs of every material
thinner slabs of every material
cover slabs of every material
corner plates of every material
bigger corner plates of every material
smaller corner plates of every material
plates with holes for every material
covered wires of '' ''
four different wires with [see above]
colors of wires '' '' color
four different kinds of wires with [see above]
anti-covers of every material
bigger and smaller anti-covers of every material
corner panels of every material
60+ assorted machines logic tiles and bluectrics
pnuematic tubes of every color
and much much more, if you really want to understand how much stuff there is, get recipe book, and have fun scrolling through (I believe it's close to 300-600 pages, but I don't use it anymore, so I'm not positive, may be less).
I just found this mod, and I only just skimmed through the last pages, so sorry if this has been requested already.
If the ID limit gets resolved, could you possibly add an SM42 to the mod?
It's a eastern european train. Now, i can't give you technical details, but my friend would love you forever if you added these
I could probably supply you with a texture if i had a model for reference.
guys i hate to break to ya, but LAST TIME i checked(it posted around page 100ish i think) spitfire said he didn't know how to do that, but he could have learned how in the last 70+ pages, but i don't know. if he did learn "hooray The ID Wars are over!" if not, we WILL see some casualties.......

Actual current version of Railcraft is 5.4.7b
yes, but is it redpower 2 blutricity compatible?
no!
and a third rail, would look pretty awesome if you asked me!
Should have no bugs in-game (aside from the angled peices bug, but Spitfire knows about it already).
Will be at least a day or so until I can update/fix all the textures. But it's ok.
Not posting any screenshots since the difference is hardly noticeable.

...But that's just my opinion.
My DeviantART, requests welcome.
B14 - My Texture Pack!
Need textures for your mod? Inquire within, just read the rules.
I guess there won't be.
There will be DB class 60 and class 90 though, they look quite similiar.
