Sydney Trains K set (4 cars)
Deprecated. Delisted. Check out JenperTC’s improved model 🙂
Includes two assets: SydKset-4LC (line coloured), SydKset-4-NLC (non line coloured)
8 car set available here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1497838271
Only a few lines still have K sets in service in Sydney today, but if you grew up in the city you know them well. These were the first trains in Sydney to feature air conditioning, progressing the design of the S set. (Also apparently the first Sydney train to feature headlights??)
This asset features all sorts of loving details and lessons learned from my Tangara asset, such as:
– a new and improved blue guard light (was only painted onto the Tangara texture; still doesn’t light up though)
– a messy bunch of tubes and grimy underbits
– pretty nice looking ridge things all over it
– all in a tidy 1024×1024 texture without sacrificing quality
– 2582 triangles on the power carriage (84 LOD)
– 1956 triangles on the trailer carriage (76 LOD)
– line-coloured and non line-coloured sets included (SydKset-4LC and SydKset-4-NLC are the names; NLC = no line colour)
– last car is already set to be the engine without additional mods. (However I still recommend Improved Public Transport 2 and Advanced Vehicle Options)
– it doesn’t lean as much going around bends as the regular trains
In gathering reference material for this model I found that there were many many combinations and iterations of similar carriages between the K, S and C sets – for example the standard setup on the transport website has the pantograph on the first trailer, plugged into the power carriage. I decided to stick with featuring it on the first and last for simplicity. I hope this is a pleasing recreation of a special Sydney train for your cities!
