I got a few shots of My version of the N-type cars for MSTS.
But I only got one thing I need help with.

How do I get the couplers to touch each other.
It does pull the fleet but when You see it. It's not like touching each other while runnning the consist.

Is there a trick to making the fleet of these cars to touch to one another?

here's the shots




The N-Types

I think you need to adjust the Bounding Box size, as this dictates how close the cars come to each other.

Route Riter
-> Activities and Stock Tab
-> Eng & WAG file Editor Button
-> Carriages button
-> Select carriages by Ctrl-Click
-> UNcheck "Correct Mass and Couplings only" box
-> Click "Correct Settings"
-> Click "Ok" to 1000kN question
-> Click Yes or No to MSTS-Bin question.

Then sit back and wait as RR computes and corrects each carriage.

You're done.

Thanks Folks.

Now it's all corrected. Smile
Fully appreciated.

I got more parts to add to the N-type before I release it.
I got to but Bumpers at each side of the N-types

Also another boz that goes under the carriage
Inside seats needed to be added.

Even the Luggage stand that goes above the seats needed to be added.
I'll add the Red tail lights on the carriages.

I think that's all i need to do.

I'd made 3 liveries for it already

In Tuscan
Tuscan And Russett
And Indian Red.


I'll E-mail to NSWRTM and see if they got any letter and number sample of the writing they use on they're fleet of carriages

Thanks for all that help Superheatedsteam and to you too Yuri

I am thinking of doing the MFS's
But I don't have any proper images of those cars

I do have a few, but not in a proper sideview shot to do them.
And soon, I'm gonna create a new livery besides the Tuscan & Russet, Indian Red and Tuscan.

I'm thinking the next one I'll do is a Red Cross Liveried N-types.

and further on, I'll do more cariiage type codes.
e.g.

SFN, SBN, FRN, HN.. and so on down the track.
=========================

UPDATE:
Now I added more parts to the N-types






The N-types with seats and other mroe parts.





And the whole fleet

UPDATE:

These sets are just almost done.
I'd now got a special edition livery to show you.

Yep,

The 3801 Limited liveried N-Types


Now The only thing to do Is create a Passenger view interior and these sets will be released in no time. Wink

Looking good. That text and lining looks nice and crisp. Are you using 1024 textures for these models?
