Budd M1 - Long Island Rail Road

This mod adds the Budd M1 in its Long Island Rail Road configuration to Transport Fever 2. Introduced in 1968 as the “Metropolitan 1,” Budd’s M1 EMU rail car helped overhaul the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Agency’s aging, prewar fleet. The new design sought a middle ground between traditional rail service and rapid transit, ushering in a new era of commuting in the Tristate area.

Technical Details:
- Top Speed: 100 mph
- Power: 1184 kW
- Traction: 340 kN
- Seats: 120
- Availability: 1968 to 2007

This is my first attempt at modeling, texturing, and/or scripting anything whatsoever. Please keep that in mind. I need to thank YstlDystl, whose newspaper vending machine tutorial provided essential guidance. Very special thanks go to Maik, who held my hand through this entire process and endured more than three months of incessant (and often dumb) questions. You're indispensable, my friend. Most-special thanks, though, go to my partner, Chelsi, who supported me throughout despite my near-obsessive fixation on this stupid mod. She’s happy to have me back.

The mod’s GSI G70 bogies were provided by Maik (models) and Skyjoe (textures). They’re gratefully used here with permission.

Please note: in its current form, the train functions on diesel power so that an extra, third-rail mod isn’t required. I also recommend downloading the MOTRAS Project mod, which includes the correct, 1219mm platform.
