The Wagons look OK but the coaches are way too big.

Did you try squeezing them with SFM?

Also you only need one cable wagon. There is more wire on the drums than they could string up in a typical possession.

A minor boo-boo with the sounds Jon.

The four wagons with passenger views are looking for GenPasswagsteam_PV.sms

I can't find this file so I just deleted the _PV extention.

Oops :oops: ......... Sorry Ian.
I did that a while back on my MSTS.

Basically copied the sms file, enabled the sounds in the passengerview, and renamed to show the difference......

ScalabiltyGroup( 5
Activation (

PassengerCam ()
Distance (55)
)
Deactivation (
ExternalCam ()
CabCam ()
Distance (55)
)


Although having said that, I do use the enhanced Italian/Spanish coach sounds by Carlos.
They sound fanastic in the passengerview.

I must say, at least that shows one person has tried using them.... :lol:

Cheers
Jon

Hi Ian
Something I did think of the other day, :crazyeyes: was that using the pv vehicles, mean the blokes are stuck on the outside of the train.
This would be a good train for one of your invisible loads, where all the staff could disappear on the press of a button.
Cheers
Jon

A good idea but unfortunately the animation can only be added by the model maker in the original modelling program.
