Very simply this mod allows the MP36 to sub into ALV.

Now with Bomb cars subbing into trains!

Change Log

ALV Core Route:

  • Adjusted all x4 and x5 formations to have subbing enabled.
  • Added a MP36 x4 formations for better odds of the MP36 spawning.

SBD MP36:

  • Shortened length to match the F125 to allow subbing. (This changes both the RVD and RVM)

ALV Rotem Cab Car:

  • Changed RailVehicleClass to match the SBD one, this makes them show up as the same unit in menus. (This changes the RVD)

"Very simply this mod allows the MP36 to sub into ALV." In other words, this allows the SBD MP36 to sub into ALV...

super great idea however; it also removes the f125 from the san bernardino line. makes things easier for the ALV route tho :)

Someone in the TSC Discord made the mod already. This mod was simply to fix the recent patch and allow the MP36 to sub into a route already set up for it.
