Adds a variant of the BR 218 with switchable couplers. It should appear in the free roam menu under 'BR 218 DB', as BR 218 DB (Multi-Couple).

Coupler Options:

  1. Scharfenberg - can couple to Class 395, most German EMU's, ÖBB 4024, modded version of ICE 1, TGV, BR 642, and Class 801
  2. Dellner - can couple to Class 375, 377, 387, 700, 710, ROG 37/7, modded version of Class 380 and Class 385.
  3. Buckeye - can couple to most things with Buckeye coupler, modded versions of some Tightlock trains.
  4. BSI - can couple to Class 142, 158, 170, modded version of 150 and 166.
  5. WABCO N-Type - can couple to M3, M3A, M7, M7A, M9.
  6. Wedglock - can couple to 1938 Stock, 1972 Stock.

It uses the coupler models from BR 401 (Kassel - Würzburg), Class 142 (Blackpool Branches), M7 (Long Island Rail Road), 1972 Stock (Bakerloo Line).

If you do not have one or more of these DLC the mod should still work, but the coupler model will be missing.

Changelog

  • 2024/07/07 - Merged previous variants into Scharfenberg version, added a multi-couple version, changed coupler model to the orange emergency coupler from the ICE 1, fixed bug where engine room interaction prompts would disappear when train was moving.
  • 2024/06/29 - Added ability to enter engine room.
  • 2024/06/26 - Added BR 218 DB (Scharfenberg), BR 218 DB (Scharfenberg - ICE 1), and BR442 (Kassel - Würzburg) variants.

Bugs

  • WABCO coupler animation doesn't work.

Notes

  • You may need to enter the cab and release the brakes on any train being dragged, I don't know how to get it to work automatically.
  • The BR 218 hasn't been remodelled or retextured, I have just added various coupler options,
  • I haven't added any scenarios, timetables or formations, it is only for free roam mode.
  • Currently doesn't work with formation designer.

Requirements

Installation Instructions

Put whichever .pak files you want in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Train Sim World 4\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC' folder (modify path as appropriate)

Hello, how did you managed to build these "teleports" into the loco? They could be quite useful for my route but I don´t know how to do so, nor how to find something about it on the internet...
Thanks in advance!

It uses a CameraTransitionComponent in the RVV file for the loco. You just need to set the hit box, entrance box and exit offset fields are set, then it should work

Thanks for the explanation but I think this won't work with normal actors instead of RVVs, or does it?
