If anyone was wondering, cargo trams technically so exist. Currently, the only one that used to be in service was a tram in Germany that transported car parts. However, ever since it got hit by a road vehicle, it's been out of action

Yes

Are these vehicles fictional?

God, I wish we had more of those on rails in cities IRL

Unfortunately the Early Start Mod doesn't work that way. The only way to give mod vehicles earlier start dates is to also make all vanilla rail vehicles start earlier -- it uses the same date for both. There is only a specific list of mod vehicles for which it supports separate earlier start dates, but your mod is not one of them.

So for your mod I had to modify the code to force an 1800 start date, which is why I suggested the change.

There were horse trams before 1810, particularly in industrial freight service, and horse-drawn wagonways in 1700s (the Early Rail Series #1 mod starts them in 1800).

1850 is neraly realistic for the first horsetrams. 1800 would be very early.
Apart from that, the early start year mod can change the start year of 1850-vehicles down to 1820.

Hi, for my request in the Discussions section a year ago, could you make the horse trams available in 1800 please to support the Early Start mod? Thanks!

Tram : cargotram

Thank you for these wonderful freight trams. They fit perfectly into any scenario and are super practical!

How can I add the ability to transport cement? A cement mod is worth it

Is this real thing.

Maybe that was it I don't know since I deleted and recreated the line. Maybe I just missed seeing the scrollbars.

This mod only add trams. It's not possible that he has any influence to the line or vehicle manager.
You probably juist have to scroll up? Your Line is called "Memphis Food...", the first line on your screenshot is called "Memphis LT". "Food" should be before "LT" in the line manager. I see at the scrollbar that there are any lines before "Memphis LT".

I had to recreate the line then delete the bugged one. Please check your mod as it is probably the mod rather than the game.

Bug/Cargo line not showing in vehicle manager.

I opened and pinned the line so you can see that it is created.

Very useful, thank you.

Hi, wie sieht es mit der CAF Urbos 3 als Cargotram aus?

VILIλNλD,
At any cargo depots/stops.

where do these trams load and unload cargo?

I will not overhalt the trams based on the new models of the next game update. But the mod will still works, also after the next game update.

can some one tell me where to find the files in the directory? specifically where to change the cargo capacity? i cant make sense of the link below.

Is there plans to update this mod when the new Transport Fever 2 update comes out as the trams are being completely overhauled

oh never mind, it carries all cargo.

*cargo type

what cargo does the PCC carry?

https://www.transportfever2.com/wiki/doku.php?id=modding:vehiclebasics#compartment_list

is there a way to increase the cargo capacity in the files? and if so how? thanks.

I must have this!

I usually play 1900 start, so yeah, I love this mod. I have a couple hundred cargo trams running around right now because they're so much better than the trucks in this era. Thank you!

finaly a found the mod, i was searching for is so long...

Great Mod! Thanks alot!

I love these! Fits perfectly in my new build with a lot of tiny towns in the early eras.

They can transport custom cargo, when the modder of the cargo/industry mod integrated it correctly.

Hè, zou u DDC Cement willen toevoegen aan de cargo van de cargo trams, dank u.

So ein schöner Mod =)

If 4 horses is under-powered why not make them 6 horses?

Possible, but it seems that it's not just those that go excessively slow when it comes to hills. Every tram, from them, up the the Cobra has the same problem. I think it might be due to the cargo weight sim doing something funny with them.

As even on level ground I have never seen any of the trams reach their max speed or even the max road speed. It always stops at about 21 MPH or about 33 km/h. And yeah some can't even reach that speed, but for those it stops at about 15 MPH or about 24 km/h.

So I think they are all a bit under powered for the cargo loads.

It has 4 horses, so it has 4 horsepowers ;)
It's the only vehicle in this mod, where i raised the power compared with the original vehicle. The vanilla horse trucks has the same problem, when it's very hilly. Maybe horses are simply not made for high-angle streets.

Good mod. But I think the Horse drawn trams need a bit more power. When going up a hill they take forever. Seen here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2235443677

This is one of the most prominent and impactful TpF2 mods for me. Great work!

@mattamartin chech the Tram-train mod by Claude

Love this mod!

New Version 1.2 (23.08.2020):
- Add horse tram
- Add longer & shorter versions of some other trams

and oif thats a feature i dont know that cause i havent messed with the mod yet as im leaving the game running day and night

the real question is when we will get a track for these small bois to run on besides roads

I'll think it over about the horse trams.

by the way:
I will release another cargotram mod very soon, with little trains like industrial railways :)

I hope there will be some horse trams here, too.

I sure hope some horse trams are added

This is a nice mod
trams are such a nice niche between trains and trucks, very useful

I love using trams to transport cargo in cities, thanks a lot
