DB 218 Push-Pull Regional Train

Description
This item resembles a basic regional train from the 1960s to 80s (Nahverkehrs-/Eilzug) for push-pull operation. The train consists of a class 218 diesel engine with four n-Wagen[de.wikipedia.org] cars in their original silver livery. To enable pushing operation, the train features a first-gen n-Wagen control car (straight from the factory, thus not as weathered as the other cars ;-).

Four cars fit quite well into the default station length, combined with the control car, this makes it a good alternative to DMUs/EMUs on terminal lines.

Destination signs reflect line color. Support for Vehicle Effects mod (optional), enabling diesel smoke and sound, a third headlight for the engine and direction-dependent headlights for the control car.

New: If you subscribe to both, Vehicle Effects and Extra Vehicle Effects, you get:
  • Turbo-diesel sound effect with delayed turbo rpm, simulating turbine inertia (video and video)
  • Functional rear lights
  • Rolling stock sounds for passenger and cargo trains (video)
  • Braking sound, speed dependent
  • Wheel flange grinding/squealing in curves (depending on radius and speed)
  • Door closing sounds

Speed: 120 km/h (default)
Passenger Capacity: 35 (default)
Quads: 560 (engine), 335 (trailers)

I think it's better to upload them e.g. here [www.pic-upload.de].

@Thaok Okay I'll do that do you have a mail adress where I can send you the photos?

Photographs of drawings can easily get distorted. Try to keep some distance and the drawing in the image center. Also, if you have access to a real vehicle, some photographs orthogonal from each side could speed up the texturing process. Ideally, you would use a tele lens from a greater distance (say 30 to 50 m) to minimize perspective distortion.

@Thaok, I think I saw a book at the libary about the Trams and there was a couple of blueprints of the GT4 in it. I could try to find it and send the blueprints to you, if you want
Thaok  [author] 20 Nov, 2016 @ 9:41am 
Ideally a complete blueprint including views from each direction.

@Thaok the GT6 also would be awsome.
Also, what kind of pictures do you need?
Thaok  [author] 19 Nov, 2016 @ 8:51am 
How about a Duewag GT6 or 8? For those I could at least find some side and top views. But probably not anytime soon, too many projects and less and less time...

Hey, Thaok could you please make a german tram from that epoch? (Like the GT4 for example) Becouse theres no (good looking) tram from the 60s-90s here on the Workshop.
