Description
Amtrak Midwest with Venture Coach and Cab

The Siemens Charger is a family of diesel-electric passenger locomotives designed and manufactured by Siemens Mobility for the North American market. There are four models of Chargers: the SC-44 for state-supported inter-city services, the SCB-40 for Brightline inter-city service, the SC-42 for VIA corridor service, and the ALC-42 for Amtrak long distance service.

The first production SC-44 was unveiled on March 26, 2016, and entered revenue service on August 24, 2017, followed by the SCB-40, which inaugurated Brightline service on January 13, 2018. The first ALC-42 was delivered to Amtrak on June 17, 2021 and entered revenue service on February 8, 2022 on the Empire Builder.

Even though I extend the station a bit, some still get stuck (less than before tho). It seems that sometimes a short train will 'enter' the segment that is outside of the station where the head/tail of the train is and that causes it to get stuck.
interestingly its nearly always the fully loaded/nearly full consists but doesn't with ones less loaded...

I look forward to when you do a "generic" version of the Charger/Venture train sets.

Most of the custom stations on ws should work. AquilaSol has a collection of stations you can use. Alternatively, you can use move it to stretch station tracks a bit to fit the train, then finish with the platform networks.

Regardless, I'll be publishing vanilla compativle lenght variants once im done with 1:1 sizes.

Is there a station long enough for this?

it was a flat map, i made it in-game with terrain tools just to create the scenery

Whats the map that you used to showcase these trains in the screenshots? Im not talented at all to make a realistic city but I want to check these trains out badly, so if you know if I could download it I would really appreciate it. The trains look amazing btw!

Extend stations track with move a bit, use Alt key then pull the node. Not too much tho, enough for train to fit inside.

It keeps getting stuck at those stations at the edge of the map

I just cant wait for the next ones!

Sounds will come with Brightline release, which will be the last one. I need to publish assets before adding sounds files, so I decided not to delay it.

I have some examples, but I'd like to hear yours, if you want to record you are most welcome. Add me on Steam friends to discuss it later

Cheers
