Description

Thomas the Tank Engine E2 Version
The iconic steam train basis for Thomas - inspired by the Thomas the Tank Engine series.


The original Thomas the Tank Engine was based on a London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Class E2 0-6-0T. This type of engine was primarily used for heavy shunting and short-distance goods trains in the London area and on the south coast. Although Thomas does share extended side-tanks with the E2 there are several major differences with the Railway series.

This version of Thomas features a smokebox door instead of an anthropomorphic face - so there's a bit more realism added to your game! There's not enough classic steam engines on the Workshop and I aim to fix that!

Top speed of 70 mph and includes 2 Stroudley Passenger Coaches (30 passengers) that have the color map added so you can customize their liveries.

I also added OPTIONAL steam effects, train sounds, and Thomas' whistle - requires Acc3ss Violation's Vehicle Effects mod.

@oshawotta737 Great! I actually had the trickiest time with the E2 - I kept getting error messages! Fixed now. So vanilla trains actually have an engine on the front and back by default so the game dev's didn't have to respawn each train in the 'right' direction. You don't notice it - because it's just a long orange tube lol. In reality, this actually happens quite a lot! It's quite difficult to turn an engine around and move it to the front of the train, so a lot of times, they would just reverse! I believe they are called Push-Pull trains. One solution you could do is to make a loop around your stations that give the train a chance to turn around. Hope that helps!

The update for vehicle effects works amazing! I don't know what would cause this but it seems that on non-loop routes the trains keep the direction they spawned facing.

Woo! When I get my new computer, my new city is 100% going to have Thomas in it. Not sure if I'll go for realistic or with the face. Thanks for making them for us fellow fans!
