A water tender for the sh282. It could be connected to the sh282 and supply extra water for longer journeys. As for how the whole "Hooking up" thing would work, im not sure. maybe someone could modifiy the sh282 to accept it? Who knows

auxiliary tenders?

#

yeah they're cool

i think the remote calls it a crew car or somthing

but yea
have it be like the caboose
you'll get more water for long trips but you'll need to pay to spawn it in like the caboose, its extra weight to pull, and you've got another thing with water you gota pay to refill

#

similar use scenario to the caboose but for different reasons

i genuinely hope someone makes this

This seems interesting

Want to bump this idea now that simulator is out

Yeah it feels like the water empties so quickly now, a additional tender would do me wonders seeing how there are only a few spots with water tanks

#

If an additional tender isn't possible, than maybe a larger tender that can hook up to a regular S282

#

I would like a tender with more water capacity, the S282 drinks way too quickly.

lofty pulsar
#

Or do you mean a different larger tender?

honest bramble
#

Not an aux tender, a different tender to go in place of the current one.

hoary grove
#

yeah what norf said

honest bramble
#

Either way, more water please.

lofty pulsar
#

Yeah I was thinking of a comically large tender behind the normal one

#

Whoops

hoary grove
#

I mean yeah that's essentially what I'm saying, model a longer tender that can hold more water

#

could just make the stock tender hold more but that's not as cool

honest bramble
#

If not an aux or larger tender, then something I brought up in #dv-future-plans.

#

It'd be neat to see water troughs be placed on the higher speed areas and have a tender equipped with a water scoop, maybe for balancing reasons it could have slightly less water capacity but with the obvious benefit of refilling on the fly.

on the talk of aux tenders, can we get 425 as a whole? freaking love that blue baby

we need this

huh, this is suddenly relavant again

#

well the main complaint about the 282 is how little water the tender holds now

#

someone estimated about 20k litres

#

not only how little water it holds

#

but the engine seems to drink a hell of a lot of water, and it does it really fast

#

then again i think theres coaling and water points in more places now

tbh, the water capacity is fine, since steam engines carried from 15k to 25k liters back then, the consumption in the order hand, seems outrageous.
