Details

F40PH-2CAT, Nippon, Bombardier (Peninsula Corridor)

  • F40PH-2CAT: Adds ability to teleport between the cab, side and back doors.
  • Nippon & Bombardier cars: Adds guard mode.

Acela

  • Adds ability to enter the machine room and get to the coaches.
  • Adds guard mode.
  • Some fixes for the door control panels.
  • Note: The machine room wasn't designed to be entered, so there are some holes in the walls.

ALP-45DP

  • Adds ability to teleport between the cab, side and back doors.
  • Fixes the gap between the couplers.
  • HEP Train Line Source Select set to be on by default.
  • HEP should work now (turn the HEP Output Contactor to On, then press HEP Train Line Complete Test).
  • Added manual engine control (mouseover the front side engine room hatch, or use the engine start/stop keybinds. Unfortunately I don't know how to add functionality to the TMS screen).
  • Engine 2 now has sounds (previously only engine 1 made noises).
  • You should now be able to raise the pantograph if it drops due to a fault (lower and raise it again).
  • Added fuel gauges (mouseover the gauges on the sides of the loco).

F125 (Antelope Valley Line, San Bernardino Line, Metrolink Holiday Train)

  • Adds ability to teleport between the cab, side and back doors, makes the ladders climbable.

F40PH-3C (NEC: Boston - Providence, MBTA Commuter)

  • Adds ability to teleport between the cab, side and back doors, makes the ladders climbable.

F59PHR

  • Adds ability to teleport between the cab, side and back doors, makes the ladders climbable, fixes the back crossing so it is passable.

F7 (Clinchfield Railroad, Santa Fe F7)

  • Adds feed valve to control brake pressure so you can use it with passenger coaches (look for a prompt near the nose door, there is no physical model), makes the ladders climbable, adds ability to teleport between the nose doors, adds very basic interior to F7 A and B-unit engine room (basically just grey corridor).

HSP-46 (MBTA Commuter)

  • Adds ability to teleport between the cab engine room door and the back doors, makes the rear ladder climbable.

MP36PH-3C (Peninsula Corridor, San Bernardino Line)

  • Adds ability to teleport between the cab, side and back doors, makes the rear ladder climbable, fixes the back crossing so it is passable.

Notes

  • The RVD, RVM and RVV files of the above trains are modified, so the mod may not be compatible with any other mods that modify the same files.
  • The mod will still work if you don't have some of the above trains, they are not all required for the mod to work.

Okay I have removed all the outdated US tranisiion mods, this will make things much easier and cleaner thank you again, Question though, I still run TSW4 and will these updated versions work with TSW4. or I just leave the TSW4 versions installed?

They should probably work in TSW 4 fine, but I haven't tested it

This Mod breaks the coupler of the gallery cab car, so it can't be coupled to the MP15DC anymore (at the front coupler, i don't know if the back is also not working)
