Toprus’ Freight Shunting Yards
Hi!
Another unusual thing for me. This time I made a freight yard, which will let you flip cargo between smaller branchline trains and a bigger mixed trains, running between two of these freight yards. You will be able to bring in cargo from smaller lines to a bigger train, without the need to make the big train go into the branch. It adds a little bit of realism, where you didn’t just have trains running point to point.
The pack includes 5 buildings. Each one is a track with a set of connections to allow for every cargo to get reloaded. You need to have trains set on either ‘wait until loaded’ or ‘wait until unloaded’ to make sure the don’t run away from you before another train arrives. You have an array of track numbers to choose from (between 1 and 5). You can’t have 2 trains set to go to the same station if you want to switch cargo between them. That will not work, you need to have two trains between which you reload cargo on two separate, but directly connected stations. Collisions when building are disabled.
I hope you have fun with it, and for the sake of your own fun, please don’t use them on your saves for quick, cheap and simple loading/unloading stations for buildings ;).
