It's a train-train ;)

is this train? or metro?

Just to clarify, these are in Amtrak Phase V/VI (Locomotive's in V, Coaches are in VI) and not IV.

Yeah, you could. Actually I might resize it if I got more spare time, but if you are fine with that you can do so. Just credit me for the original convert and I'll be fine ;)

@[Delta ²k5] can I swipe your AEM7 model to do a SEPTA push-pull train?

Bye Bye real AEM-7 you have been a good train.

I really appreciate all the work you did for this game! But I have one question for you. As you used the models from Train Fever for this trainset, could you make a Train Fever version of the Metroliner Cab Car? I would love to see that one in Train Fever. When it is not possible to do so, or it is way too much work to do, that's no problem. I am already very happy with everything you did for this game so far!

Kinda, it's not exactly your reskin cause I had to adjust many aspects for Cities (mainly saturation, hue and also brightness), but it was the base of course! Also I've to crop it down as the current file size is way to large for Cities :(

holy crap i just realized this is my reskin from train fever! nice!

props?

New update is live!

Could u make ACS-64 withAmfleet cars ?

I have to make it shorter as there's a gap between the cars (in asset editor it looked right, but it isn't

@>>SunDragon44<<: you can use two mods if you want to control which trains should appear on a specific line

the first one is "Improved Public Transport" http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=424106600 - here you can simply select which trains should appear on a certain line

the second one is Advanced Vehicle Options http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=442167376 - with this mod you can disable certain trains from appearing at your city border (so trams and small trains don't travel to other cities anymore)

so how do u get these trains? do u need a certain train station or do staions just randomly generate diff types of trains?

Happens a lot when a train is just a little too long. 1 out of 10 times the train will leave though. Only thing the author can do is make the train shorter to fit the platform

When I try to use this train the model flips out and won't reverse direction and despawns at the end of the line.

Just to let you know, Captain Picard is also working on a GO trainset, check his artwork. Looking forward to the Acela Express!

sure, go ahead and reskin it ;)

It's kinda easy to do as there is a blender plugin for import / export models for TF, but there are not many modern trainsets in it. The community provides some, but I will not "borrow" their models for this purpose - also, just to make my point clear: I love those models and respect the amount of work spended on them - I only think that more games shold benefit from those great models!

Anyways: I'm doing the "acela express" (well, it's also named other than that and provides also only some generic skinn) atm. It's kinda much work over there cause there are different textures mapped on one model - but it comes along nicely :)

furthermore I'm going to do the double deck "Go" trainset which is also in this game:

After finishing my exams I'll try to model the ACS64 (by my own)

Ah that explains it, was quite surprised when I saw the texture haha. So is it OK if a make a Phase III reskin? I will credit you and Train Fever.

Also, are you going to make more like these? The textures and models are amazing. I don't own Train Fever but if it's 'easy' to transfer trains between these games I would happily buy it!

Hey mate!

I'm not working on them. These textures and the models are from train fever, but I modified them or rebuild them (especially the cab car) - the original TF consist had a pseudo phase III and a pseudo phase IV livery on it (without amtrak logos, numbers and also with kinda wrong colors - both liveries share the same texture).

So credits belong mainly to the guys who developed train fever, I simply tweaked the models for our lovely cities skylines :)

I have extracted the textures and I have the feeling you are already working on it?

Really nice train man! Someone asked if I could make Amfleet cars with Phase III colors, is it OK if I reskin you Amfleet cars? I will fully credit you for the model of course. Let me know :)

This is excellent

Yes! been waiting so long for some amtrak stock on here. Do you think you could do one withthe ACS64 as well?

Maybe one day I'll do superliners with a Genesis loco. But I won't promise anything ;)

I'm working on an F40PH pulling Superliners, in Amtrak (New and old) and Amtrak California livery. ETA 2 weeks (I have exams)

Hey Delta could you also make a GE Genesis locomotime pulling Superliner coaches?

This is an incredible model...coming from someone who rides the metroliner A LOT.

@Delta K5 I see. Sorry I can't help you. I mean you could try writing a python script for the illumantion light probe in the blender python editor to control lighting for your asset but I am not sure if that would fix your setting issue. also, if it is part of the game than I really can't help you.

@mab, you are kinda wrong ;) this light is generated by the game in every passenger train to illuminate the ground left and right of the train. It is nothing which I could control using Blender (I also only export the mesh with its texture koordinates - also my startup file has no light source and no camera ;)

@Delta K5 if you are using blender than you need to remove the lamp. That light is the illumanation light probe and you can just right click and hit the delete button. Also make sure you alphatize your textures for blender so it makes it easier to read.

Agreed with @Pineycreek, perhaps you could dabble with more Amtrak trains? Fantastic model by the way!

@mab: I use Blender and Photoshop CC
@fatfluffycat: Possible, but only by time ;)

@everyone: Thanks! :)

@Delta K5 what program did you use to make the asset

Thank you for making this, have you thought about doing the ACS-64?

Ah, the good ol' Swedish Meatball and Amfleet coaches. These all look amazing. I see you mostly do airplanes, but you should consider doing more trains because if this is your level of quality, we could definitely use more of your work.

OMG THANKS ^^ one of my favorite model of American trains ^^

Btw. I'm aware that there is a light floating above the train - If someone knows how to fix that I'd be thankful :)

fit well in the -NEW YORK- all in one Collection:

thank you, Thumbs up

Oh cool, nice to see someone added the toaster to Skylines. Very nice looking models as well, great work.
