Hello Folks,

today I can present you another Tatra tram, probably the most iconic constellation. Two standard T4D engines with one B4D trailer car, forming a so called "Großzug" (3-car-train).
I added some texture detail to the guards around the boogies, shaped the taillight-model closer to the original, changed up the door-opening buttons and dirtied up the boogies and coupling, to make them look more realistic.
Other small details which only the standard version has include ladder-hitches next to the middle door, rubber-plating, handles and hatches on the roof and varying pantographs on both engines.

Make sure to give me feedback, report bugs you encounter or just type out your general thoughts on this tram, so I can use that feedback to improve the upcoming Tatra trams!

background info:

This tram consists of the two engines 929, 930 and trailer 115, all built in 1971.
They are standard Tatra T4D and B4D units, and remained that way till 1994/1995/2003, were all of them got scrapped.
Together all units form a so called "Großzug", the biggest possible Tatra consist cities would normally run.

In-game:

I chose to represent the units in the year 1988, which is the last year where the trams had the city’s coat of arms on its side.
The standard Tatra T4D trams never had doors on their left side, so you can’t use this tram for lines where there is tram stops on the left hand side.
I suggest looking into my "Tatra ZT4D" and "Tatra T4DW+T4DW" if you want similar trams with doors on both sides.

The trams max speed is just like the original, 55km/h (11 in-game).
The destination indicator which reads "Ammendorf" (city district from Halle) has line-colored letters.
Indicator, head- and taillights are working.
The hitches between the three units are defined as their own trailers, so the coupling looks connected even in sharp turns.

I strongly advise using the Loading Screen Mod to cut down on file size, as all vehicles share the same textures.
If you want a prop version of the vehicle I advise you to use the Tree and Vehicle Props Mod and its Patch.
I don’t want to waste too much time on creating prop versions of each vehicle, so using this mod is the better option for now.
