i like this
as for hooking up, they'd probably add a 2nd pipe to the rear tender coupling like how diesels have the MU cable
same on one end of the tender
(either end maybe so it doesn't matter which way your facing)
probably end up being a crew car ngl
Whats a crew car
do you have one of the things from the sheds (im trying not to spoil it)
The caboose?
yea
you know how you can spawn it with the remote?
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.
Isn’t that the same thing?
Or do you mean a different larger tender?
Not an aux tender, a different tender to go in place of the current one.
Ah,
Ok
yeah what norf said
Either way, more water please.
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
Hey, Pennsy did it.
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.
