@old star for you

[old star]

ehehehehe, would be quite a good DE4
@lost cargo there is a model of them that is nice now?

[minor warren]

Tuga? 🇵🇹 💪

[old star]

aye, but in my case don't do real life models because of too much pain to do it accurate, game is also quite limited for it. For a heavy shunter that had idea to do in future it would basically copy format of 1400 but with performance and size to fit the theme
wwiz is other tuga and ptpunk is a intercity train driver

[minor warren]

Yea, I wasn´t suggesting a full realistic model, knowing the game is limited for that. But at least the general format and the sound would be amazing to have in DV.
Also nice to know there are other PT's in DV 🙂

[lost cargo]

I have one that was made by chance. And in previous versions of the DV, it was in the game.

[old star]

so update to now would be required, simulation stuff becomes a lot easier if one has access to service manuals or anything else that has detailed spec of equipment
You also got sounds for him?

[minor warren]

I can try look for service manuals etc. if i cant find anything I know a few CP Engineers I can try talk to

[lost cargo]

yes, with all sound, horn, start, shutdown and motor

[dawn lodge]

This is a loco I really want so if you need anything about implementation, just say it.

[old star]

all(?) the tugas want 1400🤣

[minor warren]

Because it's awesome 👌

[lost cargo]

And i have the GE 1100, only miss the cab

And 1150 with cab

Tuga Valley soon

[lost cargo]

👊

👍

[old star]

fits with derail valley, both eastern european countries
And also in age of material itself🥶

wondering how good 1400 shunting will be, guessing it should be quite good since he is so tall

[minor warren]

It's good heavy shunter...at least back in the day in trainz 02 it was. And from a trip I did years ago with an engineer friend of mine. In the cab has good visibility at distance. Just gets a bit tricky on close specially when facing the engine side. But once you get it's reference points, becomes easy

[old star]

tsssh, "engineer", DRIVER CARALHO😂
Unless he is brit and designed locomotive, but that seems unlikely since they are probably most dead

[minor warren]

nao e driver nao senhor...

[dawn lodge]

Machinist

[old star]

for diesel locomotives the one i am most interested is in 1900 then euro 4001, even though they are basically a american locomotive
Heavy shunter is obvious 1400 (guessing 1200 is the forgotten one)
Light shunter unsure, never saw one in real life so, meh

[minor warren]

Engineer\Machinist (This depends where you ask USA\UK, but in English is never driver the proper term).
Quando tentares corrigir alguém primeiro verifica os factos, antes de o fazer

[old star]

"engineer" isn't what UIC uses for name😜

[minor warren]

That doesn't tell me anything worthy tho.
Facts are facts, and there are no arguments vs them.
Driver (in the rail industry) is more of a popular term, rather than the actual term that should be used. People say driver, due to the fact the terms Engineer and Machinist are also used in other fields of work, for someone outside the rail industry or someone without knowledge about it, it can be confusing to them.

[lost cargo]

I have the 1200 too. With no cab. And 1960.

[minor warren]

Only now i saw this message, because that back and forth lol
Yes the 1200 I actually forgot about that one.

[minor warren]

1960? The Bombardier one?

[lost cargo]

Yup essa mesmo

[minor warren]

That would be awesome to have too.

Lets make Derail in Portugal 😂

[old star]

portugal valley🤔

[lost cargo]

I might need help later, because I don't remember much about the editor anymore. At least, I don't know how to get the controls and sounds working.

[old star]

wiz will be the right person for that, my capabilities will be limited to electric stuff help
Now a thing that am still thinking...............how would a renovated 1400 be? If it even makes sense for that to happen

[minor warren]

What do you mean? as in modernized?

[old star]

a bit like what was done to 2100 to become 2240

[minor warren]

eh probably would kill the charm the 1400 has. The "aura" of it (like the kidos nowadays say)

[old star]

probably better than not having anything
Camionetes de Portugal🥶

[minor warren]

but he has the 1400 pretty much modeled from what ive seen, tho

[old star]

schindlers were also other really nice renewal, a bit on touristic side but they are certainly way more comfortable than 592
Could do that renewed version as a extra, but actually determining what it would be, looks to me like a struggle. The EMUs went all to AC motor think which is obvious thing for the time. HR has their version of 1200 that they renovated with more powerful engine, new cabin, control equipment, can't remember if motors are also new too

[minor warren]

also not to mention, too much facelift on the trains to be more "modern", wont fit the atmosphere of DVRT either

[old star]

renovating something old doesn't look that outside

[minor warren]

well im speaking based on the example you gave me of the 2100 to 2240, if you mean the insides, engine, etc etc, then thats diferent and i agree on renovating that part! I was speaking purely on the outside modernization

[lost cargo]

I have too XD

[dawn lodge]

The 592s?

[lost cargo]

The only update for the 1400 was replacing the headlights with LEDs. Otherwise, it's the same.
