By default none... The maps need to be updated to include this text in the RRT_Trains_XXX.xml files:

<Train>
  <szName>TAG_NAME_GP7</szName>
</Train>

That didn't work. I put snoopy's all trains XML in the Demo map then added that code and it never showed up. Do you have to reference it to somthing??

Well, the FPK file has to be in the CustomAssets folder.
The Global RRT_Trains.xml file has to have the full GP7 description.
The local RRT_Trains_<mapname>.xml needs to have the aforementioned section.
And you have to wait for the start year for that engine to begin before it will show up unless you modify the entry in the Global RRT_Trains.xml file.

As with all things in SMR . . . YMMV

If you want to get the trains earlier than their default start year and you dont want it to effect all maps, you can use this syntax:

Code: Select all

<Train>
  <szName>TAG_NAME_GP7</szName>
  <Year>1800</Year>
</Train>

That will in effect move the GP7 to the far left of the roundhouse.

So you added or copied the double heading into a global file - how you do that please.

Ok I had a sort of a duh moment and remembered what caused this.

I will repeat this for my own peace of mind and other's.

The globals have been updated with double headed trains (thanks atani) and why I couldnt see the double headed GP7 was because the map I was playing (Europe) still had tender cars in it. I removed all those so the map used the global file.

Also as a side note I did note need to change the Europe RRT_Trains_Europe.xml to see double trains as it had these two tags already - TAG_NAME_GP7 TAG_NAME_GP_SERIES

Thanks Dr Frag the 1800 fix worked as I sometimes get annoyed with those early trains.

I don't know how they got doubled on that map. on the others it's not doubled, can someone tell me how to double them on any map I want??

This has to be added to the maps you want them on:

Code: Select all

  <Train>
    <szName>TAG_NAME_SUPERCHIEF_RED</szName>
    <Year>1948</Year>
  </Train>
  <Train>
    <szName>TAG_NAME_SUPERCHIEF_RED_A</szName>
    <Year>1935</Year>
  </Train>
  <Train>
      <szName>TAG_NAME_GP_SERIES</szName>
      <Year>1965</Year>
  </Train>
  <Train>
      <szName>TAG_NAME_GP38_DUAL</szName>
      <Year>1965</Year>
  </Train>

Change the year to 1800 if you want them all the time.

It would be really neat if someone could get steam engines double headed

thanks snoopy

I was playing with it trying to see what I did and it kept reverting back to only the 5 old little trains.

All i tried to add was this

</Train>
<Train>
<szName>TAG_NAME_GP38_DUAL</szName>
<Year>1800</Year>
<Train>

And that reverted it back to the original trains??

snoopy55

That didn't double them up, it brought out the super chief 2 times and the GP38 twice but none of them were doubled.

Edit:

Code: Select all

Anyone else know how to do this?

Make sure the map you are playing does *NOT* have the TenderCars entries in the RRT_TrainCars_XXX.xml file. If these are present then the double headed locos will not work unless they are also listed in this section.

they aren't listed in the RRT_TrainCars_XXX.xml the train are in the round house, they just aren't doubled.

There is one added step

in RRT_TrainCars.xml thats the global one.

make sure you have this

This is the double train bit. The second train is the G38Dummy

Code: Select all

 
            <TenderCar>

            <RunLength>25</RunLength>
            </TenderCar>
            
             <TenderCar>

            <RunLength>25</RunLength>

<szBridgeClackSound>AS3D_CLACK_PLANET_BRIDGE</szBridgeClackSound>
            <RunLength>25</RunLength>
            </TenderCar>

           <TenderCar>

            </TenderCar>

In you local maps remove all tender cars so the map refers to the global RRT_TrainCars.xml xml file

And as above you must have the train added to the map. snoopy55 post

OK, put that in the RRT_TrainCars.xml global. And still don't see them in the map I try. The one I'm trying is, snoopy55's El Mexicano. I put the "All trains RRT trains XML in it and wanted to have the doubles in it too.
