Hi, As a player who enjoys creating scenarios from different eras with period correct liveries, one of the issues I have is filling Freight yards, sidings and depots with rakes of wagons or coaches without a loco attached. Is it possible to add an invisible asset that the Formation Designer views as a loco so that the formation can be saved and used in-game? The asset would need to be silent and relatively small, e.g. the size of an 08 shunter. This could also be used to create 'gaps' between 2 or 3 smaller rakes. Dave55007
As I mentioned above, it allows the addition of rolling stock rakes in sidings and yards, or even the odd lonely wagon in a rusty siding. Just like the real thing.
The only way of adding wagons or coaches to Scenarios is if they have a locomotive attached to them. What I want is a way of adding wagons and coaches with no locomotive attached. The easiest way - and one which is possible - is to have a locomotive in-game that can be used in Formation Designer, but does not show up in game, i.e. an 'invisible' loco. The idea is not to drive it, but to have the rolling stock stabled up in stations and sidings etc.
Currently it is possible to use a 'mod', from a 3rd party (I might add), which makes a loco (Class 08) invisible, but not the driver! This works in Scenario Editor, not Formation Designer. Here is a pic. Remember, this is Scenario Designer, not Free Roam. The loco is at the far end of the wagons.The driver is not visible here because I have 'walked' him out of frame!
