    Dirt built up on train. Yes dirty ole train. What do you think for TSW5. We have ️ rain we have ❄️ snow. Surly we know that while you are driving in adverse weather conditions there got to be something dirty lurking on the side and front of the train due to rain and snow. So get this you come out with a clean train. While you start the train get it in motion in adverse weather conditions little by little it get dirty. Until it full of dirt. Muddy and dirty. Kinda like the snow built up in tsw3. What do ya say could this happen in tsw5. Woe i forgot to add we know that in TSW you can easily wash your train at the train washer. This will go good for dirty and muddy trains. Could this happen in TSW5. upload_2024-8-19_16-11-44.jpeg

    In a game like Euro Truck Simulator 2, dirty trucks is logical, because you own the truck and drive it for thousands of miles.

    In TSW4, you drive a train for an hour and never see it again. So it doesn't really make sense to have dirt build-up.

    How dirty is is possible for a train to actually get in 1 hour?

    (Smile) free roam you can spawn any train and keep that train for as long as you want. Oh yeah it will get dirty as adverse weather conditions keep popping in. You’ll be able to wash it as many time as you want.

    I like this idea maybe all trains spawn with some random dirt level and it means the washers can do something too

    Train companies probably won't allow dirt on their trains, doesn't look good for them.

    I was thinking the same as Jack - I don't think train companies will be too particularly happy by portraying their stock as dirty as it may portray their brand a specific way.

    Besides, a 'Dirt Build up' feature wouldn't really make much difference as you don't tend to drive trains on TSW long enough for them to get dirty.

    That being said, it would be cool if there could be some kind of dynamic weathering applied specifically to diesel locomotives in which a random 'level' of weathering is randomly selected to add variation.

    Rain and snow can built up dirt on train specially in adverse weather conditions. Thus making it very dirty. That where the washer come in at in tsw. Make use of the washer by cleaning your train up.

    Hmm free roam you can use the same train as many time as you want travelling up and down the rails with out having to restart the simulator. Thus this is where adverse weather conditions come in at. This is where rain or snow come in at this is where dirt built up comes in at on your train. And thus this is where using the train washer come in at. You can use the washer as many time as you want when your train get built up by dirt as you drive in adverse weather conditions. All while driving in free roam or free roam time able service. Let get creative here.

    Well you have to explain that to rain and snow as it built up dirt on trains. You can always put soap and water at the train washer.

    Water is different to having the train covered in dirt.

    Water still leave dirt as the train is in motion. As debris flows around. Specially mud and all sort of other stuff.

    Again, train companies won't want to see their trains being presented as dirty. It doesn't look good for them. It's probably (as in, most likely) part of the licensing agreement between them.

    (Smile) of course companies want to see there investment clean and shiny ✨. But once again you have rain ️ and snow ❄️ which will bring dirt and all sort of other debris on the train. But then again we have train washer in tsw where you can wash your trains. Thus making it clean . But then again you have adverse weather conditions that will dirty up your vehicle. Mud tar etc etc for an example. But wow then again you have your train washer for you can wash your train. Adding my above example will make it more interesting to tsw. And wow again you can use the train washer wouldn’t that be nice. (smile)

    Rather having dynamic dirt, so every train has it own amount of dirt. One service you can have an shiney ICE1 and next service you can have a dirty ICE1! Also for AI ofcourse!
