dual steamer mod no tenders?

[gregbuff]

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to include the tender mod to work with the dual steamer locos? I also noticed that the 2nd locos animation is off. It looks to be full speed all the time. Can you mod more than 8 rolling stock? Say 10 or 12. How about the little red caboose?

The sad answer is: No, No and No.
Here is why.
The way the game is designed (that is in the Firaxis' coding)
1 locomotive, 1 tender, max 8 traincars.
One can convert a tender to a second unit, but there will be 2 locomotives and no room for a tender.
For the past 3 years many expert programmers tried it, but it just can not be done.
For an other reason it would not be practical more than 8 cars. That is the train will become so long that it will block the station traffic on both ends. Sometimes I wish that the maximum number of cars was less than 8.
I suppose one can make a tender look like caboose.
Unfortunately this is not like RRT3

As for the synchronizing of the two locos it happens. Just think about it that one of the engineers got drunk and tries to push too hard. :

Oh well. I was just wondering. HAHAHA Drunk engineers... We are setting ourselves up for the biggest derailment in railroading history!

Rank slander! Absolutely unaceptable! You may be thinking of the past, but nowadays, with random drug testing, incident testing & testing for cause (odor of alcohol, etc.), there is almost zero chance of an engineer being drunk on the job without the conductor blowing him in -- he could get sanctioned for anything less.
Now apologize.

[Yeah, I know it used to be somewhat common, but now you have a better chance of being operated on by a drunk surgeon than riding with a drunk engineer or flying with a drunk pilot.]

I was referring to the game not a real life situation. I should have clarified... I do apologize!

No problem, Greg, I knew you meant the game.
