Freight car listing

[yatta99]

New to scenario creation and was wondering if there is a master list somewhere of all the freight assets. Ideally it would list the type of asset (coal hopper, scrap metal, cattle car, reefer boxcar, etc) and then list what route/loco DLC it is in. The wiki page is very good for doing this with the locos but not the freight cars. TIA.

I am not sure what exactly you are meaning to do, so I don't know if what I'm about to type will answer your question, but will try anyways.

You can display just wagons in the menu list for putting them in the world by clicking the waggon icon, which if I remember was the 3rd one, from the second menu box. If some wagons are missing, it's because you have not enabled them as DLC, and for that you need to click on a blue square/box icon with a little orange arrow. You will then get a menu on the right and there you can search for that DLC and enable them.

For which wagon to what DLC it belongs is a tricky task to tell. Wagons in the game are not listed as a "tank/hopper/whatever wagon", but they use the UIC classification of goods( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UIC_classification_of_goods_wagons ). This means that a passenger wagon is listed as an Ampz, Bmpz, Am wagon, or a freight wagon might be named Falns, Flacs, Fals etc. If you are familiar with those classifications of wagons you will find the ones you are looking for, but if not you just need to preview them and find the one you need.

Now most of the newer releases of DTG's DLC has the DLC name in [ ] - brackets, so you can tell from which DLC does the rolling stock belong (example: [BR155] Habbins, [CK] BR101). For the older DLC though, not all rolling stock has such hint about the DLC it belongs.

I hope I helped in some way, if you have further questions feel free to ask.

Not quite what I'm looking for. Let me try to explain by example:

Let's say that I have a route and on that route is a car manufacturing plant. I decide that I want to create a scenario that brings car carriers full of cars from the plant to the switch yard 10 miles up the line. If that route does not contain car carriers then I need to figure out which route/loco package does even if I do not yet own a package that has that type of freight car. Some list that will tell me that a car carrier comes with Route X, Route Y, and also with Locomotive Z.

Oh, well you are going to have to google that probably :\

There are some wagon packs that are available as DLC. Also I think every loco DLC comes with some wagons and the exact ones are listed always in the description of what the DLC includes (example http://store.steampowered.com/app/376934/). As far as I am aware though, something like a database that lists wagons in DLC as categories does not exist. You will have to manually browse DLCs and see what they offer, or you will have to google "Train Simulator <wagon type>" and hope to find what you are looking for fast.

Railworks America has a PDF download in File Library under Accessories called
U.S. Rolling Stock in DLC Packs that lists all cars available in DLC's . The author also plans on listing other countries cars also. Also Googling for Rail Simulator car carriers should list download sites with that content. I have used that method to find Airslide Hoppers.
