Description

Various translator coaches or wagons based on UK rolling stock.

12T Van (Peak Forest)

Adds a variant of the 12T van from Peak Forest with switchable couplers. It should appear in the free roam menu under 'Translator Vehicle' as 'Translator (12T)'.

TEA Tanker (Blackpool Branches)

Adds a variant of the TEA tanker from Blackpool Branches with switchable couplers. It should appear in the free roam menu under 'Translator Vehicle' as 'Translator (TEA)'.

BG Coaches

Various variants of BG coaches with switchable couplers. They appear in the free roam menu under 'Translator Vehicle'.

MJKCP_Translator_Mk1_BG_TTC.pak - Based on the TTC Mk1 BG Maroon coach.

  • It should work with livery designer (though you won't be able to download anything for it).
  • It should be able to couple to some things in formation designer, though not all (I'm not sure what controls what it can couple to).
  • The brakes will be off by default so you don't need to use the vacuum release chains.
  • Air brakes will not pass through the coach. If you have for example a TGK2, a translator, and then some normal coaches, the TGK2 will not be able to control the brakes of the coaches. You would need to couple another loco to the back of the normal coaches and use that to control the brakes.
  • Bug - It can sometimes cause formation designer to crash.
  • Bug - If you spawn a formation made in formation designer including it, the couplers will be graphically wrong. This can be fixed by just changing the coupler to something else and changing it back again.

MJKCP_Translator_Mk1_BG_TTC_Replacement.pak - Replaces the TTC Mk1 BG Maroon coach.

  • This one should allow you to use liveries from creators club on it.

MJKCP_Translator_Mk1_BG_PBO.pak - Based on the Mk1 BG coach from Blackpool Branches.


Coupler Options:

  1. Buckeye - default coupler, can couple to most things with Buckeye coupler, modded versions of some Tightlock trains.
  2. Tightlock - can couple to unmodded versions of most Tightlock trains.
  3. Screwlink - can couple to most things with screwlink coupler.
  4. Scharfenberg - such as Class 395, most German EMU's, ÖBB 4024, modded version of ICE 1, TGV, BR 642, and Class 801, anything in Coupler Mod - Dellner To Scharfenberg.
  5. Dellner - such as unmodded version of Class 375, 377, 387, 700, 710, ROG 37/7, modded version of Class 380 and Class 385.
  6. BSI - such as Class 142, 150 (CCN), 158, 170, modded version of 166.
  7. WABCO N-Type - such as M3, M3A, M7, M7A, M9.
  8. Wedgelock - such as 1938 Stock, 1972 Stock.
  9. SA3 - TGK2 by M_E_L_O_M_A_N.
  10. Shibata - not used yet.

The mod uses the coupler models from these trains:

  • ICE 1 from Kassel - Würzburg (Scharfenberg and Dellner coupler model).
  • Class 142 from Blackpool Branches (BSI coupler model).
  • M7 from Long Island Rail Road (WABCO coupler model).
  • 1972 Stock from Bakerloo Line (Wedgelock coupler model).
  • TGK2 mod (SA3 coupler model).

If you do not have the above the mod should still work, but there will be no coupler model.
