Retro Trains Pack – West Coast Freight
As featured in Springwood!
Remember when there were more than five big railroads?
Enjoy a variety of rail companies that hasn’t been seen since they all ate each other up in the mid 1990s. This pack includes multiple custom freight trains from four different railroads, all based on ones operating on the West Coast in the 80s (and useable well into the mid 90s or early 2000s!), and is set up to feature automatic weathering, realistic nod and tilt levels, and more! These trains come in more realistic lengths than vanilla trains, so some visual glitches may occur at stations, but the more realistic length looks better everywhere else.
If you don’t like the long trains, some of the trains (the Locals) are designed to fit into stations. Use AVO to prevent the longer ones from spawning.
What’s included?
Custom locomotives (1024x textures, ~1700 tris)
Custom freight cars (512x textures per car, < 750 tris per car)
Custom sound effects – use Vehicle Effects for custom engine, bell, and horn sounds, as well as exhaust! Use Extra Vehicle Effects to get even more train sounds like flanges, brakes, and more!
Props for the retro cars (most cars from the Coast Range, Springwood Lines, ALTA, and TubeTrain, along with a couple others)
What’s not included?
Props for the other freight cars, which are available in this pack.

Will you make a shorter version? This doesn’t fit into my stations!
I have shorter versions available! Check out my Workshop Page or Train Collection

Why don’t you do real life liveries? / Can you do *real life livery here* for me?
I just really prefer making up my own versions. It gives me some flexibility in the UV map, and also lets me have fun making up something new, something funny, something that pays tribute to a YouTube series that I like (or make), and it means that I can do a bit less research instead of having to find exact real life liveries of everything.
