Various translator coaches or wagons based on US rolling stock.

Amfleet Coach (Northeast Corridor: New York - Trenton)

Adds a variant of the Amfleet coach from Northeast Corridor: New York - Trenton with switchable couplers. It should appear in the free roam menu under 'Translator Vehicle' as 'Translator (Amfleet)'.


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, 158, 170, modded version of 150 and 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.


It also adds the ability to open and close the distributor release valve, in case you are coupling a loco that cannot provide 110psi brake pressure. I don't know where this is on the real coach, so I put the prompt near the wheels.


Changelog

  • 2025/02/17 - First release.

Bugs

  • Screwlink coupler animation doesn't work properly.
  • WABCO coupler animation doesn't work.

Notes

  • You may need to manually release the brakes on some trains being dragged.
  • The Amfleet coach hasn't been remodelled or retextured, I have just added various coupler options.
  • I haven't added any scenarios, timetables or formations, it is only for free roam mode.
  • Currently doesn't work with formation designer.
