Title: Old Passenger coaches
Post by: vilvoh on April 03, 2009, 03:49:06 PM
Another request that will be filled.... ;D...The original post is here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=1806.msg18818#msg18818). I'll make some old coaches, with long and short versions. The first one is called Kinkade.

I'm finishing several color versions of kinkade coach (http://graphics.simutrans.com/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=2), and I'll also make this set of 12 mid-west long coaches.

Oooo.... Smooth!  *cheers*

Only one nitpick.  The "MWL Amtrak Coach" shows an introductory date of 1940 and withdrawal in 1960, but Amtrak didn't come into existence until April 1971...

And between the two sets there is a definite gap in the 1920s-1930s era... meanwhile:

The first coast-to-coast streamlined train in the USA was in 1934, so perhaps that's a more typical introduction date for a renamed version of that "Amtrak" coach?  see http://mikes.railhistory.railfan.net/r028.html

You're right. In fact I noticed it, but as the coaches we're sorted alphabetically in the dat file, Amtrack was the first one on the list. I put real names mainly because I used real color schemes, but I really didn't want to be strictly realistic.

That's the next gap I'll try to fill.

BTW, I take note of those interesting trains from the link... ;D

Ah, ... you might consider, especially for the early streamliners, using the manufacturer names (Budd, Pullman, Baldwin) where appropriate. In other cases yes it was the railroads themselves (Union Pacific's M-10000 , Boston & Maine's "Flying Yankee") who custom-build trains.

Probably the best all-round list for prototypes and names is:
