BART Bombardier D&E Series
This asset is a five car long version of BART’s new "Fleet of the Future" (built by Bombardier Transit Corp), also referred to as series D and E. Each of the cars can hold around 60 passengers, for a total of 300 passengers. Its top speed is 80mph (130km/h) which is slightly higher than the default passenger train. It will fit very well your american, especially Californian themed city.

The whole consist is accurately reproduced, and a little heavy on tris, yet shouldn’t be a big hit. The texture is 2048*1024px large and is shared between the trailers and the front.
Please note the following information:
- As you might see in the slideshow, the cars are quite long, in fact they must be amongst the longest on the workshop. As the corridor between the cars is quite short, the tracks will need a large radius of curvature to prevent any glitches.
- Those trains are third-rail powered, yet I haven’t (purposedly) published them as MOM. You might convert them by yourself using the instructions given here. If you decide to use them as standard trains, I recommend using Brunna’s single and double high speed, no catenary tracks. For the sake of detailing, you can use props such as metal beams to simulate the third rail.
- The sides of the cars do not change colors according to line, only does a small circle at the front of the train.
If you notice any bug, issue or graphical glitch with this asset, do not hesitate to report them here ! It is my first asset and I would be glad to fix them.
I used the game generated LOD, as it seemed fine to me, the transition from LOD/Main being seamless.
