These are general ideas for a future rail system.
Standards
- Track gauge (inner <-> inner) = 1.96 m
- Minimum vertical clearance = 5.5 m
- Minimum horizontal clearance = 4.0 m on straight sections, 5.5 m on curved sections (minimum)
- General car length, wheel to wheel = 12.5 m
- General car length, end to end = 16.5 m
Guides
- Straight
- Stop buffer (reversible)
- Instantly stops train to prevent derailment
- Switch left (switchable, requires 2 connections in one direction)
- Switch right (switchable, requires 2 connections in one direction)
Sensors
note: sensors will require 2 pieces to detect movement direction
- Block delimiter
- Will require detection of multiple cars and constantly ping for their presence
- Also allows for trip stop e-brake if connected to a signal showing a stop indication
- Switch alignment
- Aligns connected switch for train merging onto single track
Train automation
TBA
Rolling stock
- Standard Boxcar
- many different themes (won't list here)
- Standard Tanker
- some different themes (to be done)
- Standard Flatcar
- not really any themes to make, but has different cargo
- Standard Hopper
- themes yes indeedy
- Standard passenger car
- could make a lot of themes for this
- Standard mail/baggage car
- yep more themes sure thing
- Russian-styled boxcab engine
- US-styled hood-unit engine
- F40PH/P42DC passenger service engine
- Electric standalone passenger unit (metro/subway)
- Maybe a steam engine, would be popular with VRC types
