KIND Traincar provides the basis for all individual train Vehicles, for example, a single item of the locomotive, a single item of rollingstock, or a single tender.

This asset type inherits all trackside positioning and mesh display characteristics, and adds Vehicle-specific functionality such as physics and control mechanisms.

cabinsway

Type: Decimal
Desc: Controls the amount of 'sway' the interior view has as the vehicle takes corners. A bigger number will result in more sway.

company

Type: English Text String
Desc: Text string to indicate which railway company or organisation this vehicle is in service with as represented.

ditch_color

Type: Color(RGB)
Desc: Color of ditch lights (values are integer between 0 and 255, comma separated for red, green, and blue).

low_beam_value

Type: Decimal array
Desc: Comma separated sequence of decimal values - used to configure the brightness of the lights when in low beam mode. First number applies to first headlight point, and so on. Values are divisors - e.g. a value of 2 means half brightness.

high_beam_value

Type: Decimal array
Desc: Comma separated sequence of decimal values - used to configure the brightness of the lights when in high beam mode. First number applies to first headlight point, and so on. Values are divisors - e.g. a value of 2 means half brightness.

flash_scale

Type: Decimal
Desc: Sets the speed that the ditch lights flash at.

engine

Type: Boolean
Desc: If 1, vehicle is a locomotive, if 0, vehicle is an unpowered traincar. Locomotives are expected to have cab interiors, hornsounds, enginesounds, and so on.

real-engine

Type: Boolean
Desc: This will enable an unpowered vehicle to have an audible horn and visible headlights when set to 0. This is useful for cab cars, driving trailers, and unpowered end cars of multiple units.

enginespec

Type: KUID
Desc: Enginespec Asset to use with this locomotive. Defines locomotive performance characteristics.

enginesound

Type: KUID
Desc: Enginesound Asset to use with this locomotive.

fonts

Type: Integer
Desc: Number of running-number fonts to use on this locomotive.

hornsound

Type: KUID
Desc: Hornsound Asset to play when locos horn is blown.

cabin_muffle

Type: Decimal
Desc: Amount that the enginesound volume should be reduced to when in-cab. Default of 0.4 is 40% volume, intended to represent a fully enclosed and noise deadened cab. Note: Steam locos have a different default. They default to 1.0 - no muffling at all. (Steam loco cabs are very frequently not fully enclosed, let alone fitted with noise deadening material.)

light_color

Type: Color(RGB)
Desc: Color of headlight (values are integer between 0 and 255, comma separated for red, green, and blue).

mass

Type: Decimal
Desc: Mass of the vehicle in Kilograms when empty - i.e. the tare weight, not the gross weight. The mass of any products loaded into queues will be added to this by the game.

max-coupler-gap

Type: decimal
Desc: Specifies the amount of permissible coupler slack on this vehicle in Metres. Note: The observable slack between any two vehicles will be the average of the values for each vehicle. Cannot be zero.

origin

Type: Text
Desc: Obsolete

pantograph

Type: KUID
Desc: Pantograph Asset to attach to pantograph attachment points.

smoke_shade

Type: Decimal
Desc: Value in the range (0.0 .. 1.0) which controls the color (including Alpha - so 0.0 will be transparent, 0.1 a dark mist, 1.0 a thick white) of each smoke particle. The alpha value will decay to zero (transparent) over the life of the particle.

smoke_random

Type: Decimal
Desc: Controls the amount of randomness introduced into the direction of new smoke particles. Larger numbers == more randomness.

smoke_slowlife

Type: Decimal
Desc: Length of time (seconds) smoke particles will exist for when vehicle is moving 'slow'.

smoke_fastlife

Type: Decimal
Desc: Length of time (seconds) smoke particles will exist for when vehicle is moving 'fast'.

smoke_height

Type: Decimal
Desc: Additional speed for 'slow' smoke to make it drift higher from the traincar.

smoke_fastspeed

Type: Decimal
Desc: Speed (m/s) at which traincar is considered to be moving 'fast'.

tender

Type: Boolean
Desc: Used by the AI to determine if it should take this vehicle with the loco when doing orders like 'run round'.

use-coupler-sounds

Type: Boolean
Desc: Enables or disables the coupler slack sounds for this specific vehicle.

fonts-path

Type: Text
Desc: Asset name to use when determining where running numbers are stored. Used in the same way 'asset-filename' used to be on v2.4 and earlier assets.

bogeys

Type: Bogeys Container
Desc: Specifies what bogies are attached where, and with what modifiers. Documented separately here.

paintshed-template-used

Type: KUID
Desc: Obsolete. Was KUID of paintshed template used to create this reskin - used by Paintshed to reload the reskin for further editing.

paintshed-skin-used

Type: KUID
Desc: Obsolete. Was KUID of paintshed skin used to create this reskin - used by Paintshed to reload the reskin for further editing.

product-id

Type: Text String
Desc: Obsolete. Was used by Paintshed to indicate that this asset was for use with paintshed.

product-version

Type: Decimal
Desc: Obsolete. Was the version number of Paintshed that the model was intended to be used with.

product-type

Type: Text String
Desc: Obsolete. Was used with Paintshed, to mark out a traincar as being repaintable in paintshed, but not for placement in-game.

disable-extra-track-sounds

Type: Boolean
Desc: Disables extra track sounds for this vehicle. Useful for making drivable ships, aircraft, road vehicles, etc. - anything that should not make wheel-on-rail type sounds.

max-tractive-effort

Type: Decimal
Desc: Maximum tractive effort this vehicle can put into the track in Newtons. (Only used for Diesel and Electric locos - Steam locos use a different system defined in the enginespec.)
