Any chance of doing the M7 EMU?

This model of train *is* electric (and third rail powered), but I would recommend RON or BVU rail tracks that include third rails, as I do not plan on a metro version of this asset.

@taveraslucas299 if you only want this for elevated and ground metro, RON can replace metro station tracks with train station tracks, and you run the train tracks as normal. This model of train is diesel and in the real world could not run in subways.

Do you think you can make this into a metro version pleaseee

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you make a 4-car and 2-car version of this and the electric EMU? Many modded and DLC stations can't fit full-length trains

Awesome work. Any update on a potential prop version? I'd love to use it for my NYC build's West Side rail yard.

Hi,

Thanks for this. Could you please make the Metro North New Haven Line M2/M4/M6 version? I think these models are based mainly on Long Island Railroad practice, the LIRR had these with a blue stripe down the side but then removed them so that the side bodies were all gray. By contrast, Penn Central, then Metro North Railroad, kept the third rail only M1s and M3s with a blue stripe by the side, while the New Haven Line, which needed cars that could use both third rail and overhead wires, the M2/M4 and M6 cars for it had a red (really orange) stripe down its side.

If you included the colored stripe down the side, that could be made into the game's "line color" as well.

Thanks for this bsquiklhausen. I really appreciate the work you've done for us. :)

Do the M1. Its the same as M3 but without those front top head lights.

This dope. Metro North and LIRR. Do you have the prop version for the yards? Thx

Take this type of train to and from NYC everyday, the scenery looks exactly like this when I pass over Harlem.

@bsquiklehausen Ok! I guess that means I can convert it too a MOM train with the train converter mod config file without sacrificing "vital" realism. It is a very nice asset and I can totally see it beeing used as a metro in my cities. :)

@Teddy Radko - Yep. Third rail electric. This isn't really simulated in game, but maybe someday we can get a rail network with a third rail.

Im interested in how is this train is powered. I dont see any top caternary connectors and there is no obvious indication that it is diesel powered either (exhaust pipes and so on). Is it sort of like a typical subway train, being feed from rails adjacent to the tracks bellow?

@S.H.A.N. - Yes! They're in the pipeline.

Hey this train looks good! Do you plan to make Kawasaki Metro North trains in the future?

Sounds good. Thanks for the update. Love your Gramercy series; in fact, I check your channel almost every day to see if there's a new video. :3

@MustacheFox - They're still on the to-do list, just waiting for a very boring afternoon...

Props? I love this train and would love to use it, but I make my rail networks as realistic as possible and always build a train yard when building a line.

I think do an M7 first because by the time the M7 is finished, the M9 might now be rolling out.

M7 and M8 one day, maybe M9 as well?

How much capacity the train has?

Alright, I'll try it out. Thanks

@Chris6d - also, I just pushed the update to fix the bug.

@Chris6d - The error only breaks Vehicle Effects - the train and everything else in your game will work completely fine either way.

@Chris6d - let me take a look at the Vehicle Effects file - it's definitely possible I missed something in there!

Error while parsing vehicle effect definition file(s). Assets will work but may have effects missing. Contact the author of the asset(s).
List of errors:

Help?

LIRR TIME!

After the M7s and M8s come out it would be awesome to see the new Avelia Liberty (its suppose to replace a acela express in 2022 and it looks sick) if you would be up to it.....awesome work btw awesome work and thank you !!!! i Cant wait till i deploy the M1\M3 in my new city

Beautiful!!!

FINALLY YEEEES!!!

nice modle man, love your trains! Are there any DMU commuter trains in the pipeline? Cheers

@chocolate - not yet but someday.

@bsquiklehausen is there a prop version of this?

@Brayden Bachlott - Yes, I do! M7s and M8s are both in the pipeline, though they may not be finished (or started) for a while.

Nice! Are you planning on making a modern EMU train set (Metro North/LIRR M7 or M9) anytime soon?

@chocolate - this train shouldn't be considered as anything yet, unless the Train Converter author (I think BloodyPenguin) is really really fast. I believe there are also ways to manually add a single train to the conversion list.

@bsquiklehausen everything you said is correct but the part about the train converter is that I can use that, but this train is considered as a pantograph train for some reason, so if I do it, then all my pantograph trains convert to metro.

@freshchris96 - prop versions of this are coming soon (TM), once I can think through a way to distribute them without making people have too many duplicates and also without them having do subscribe to a workshop item for every single car type.

The work train will come out once I do the next subway yard in Gramercy, which will have a couple more car types (garbage car, crane car, and maybe the welded rail trains).

@djnellz215913ko - the M3/4/6 cars are interesting to me. It'd be a fairly straightfoward model to make, but it would require some changes to be made to the mesh/texture that would change some things like texcel density when compared to the very similar M1/3 cars. They're also no longer in regular service, so they fall into my big old usual excuse of "currently operating equipment only", which I have only broken so far with the steam specials.

NJT Arrow III cars are on my list of things to do as well, but they're definitely low down.

can you make a prop version of this. also PLEASEEEE release the work train set already. been waiting months for it

Will you make a Budd car based off of the M3/M4's owned by CDOT, or no?

Still an awesome model, one of my favorite commuter rail EMU's ever, along with the Arrows/Silverliners.

@chocolate - Copy/pasting from earlier response: This is not a metro train in real life, so I have no plans to make it MOM compatible. I do have a whole host of NYC subway trains all made specifically for MOM, though, and if you really want this train (which actually makes some sense given its third-rail power), you can use the Train Converter mod with a custom cfg.

hey, can you make this be available for the MetroOverhaul mod

Oh my god! Yes! I was waiting for someone to make this model! Thank you!

Awesome! I've been waiting for someone to give us some Metro North stuff! I used to take it a lot.

Can you make this compatible with the Metro Overhaul Mod (MOM)

nice one. anybody who has ever lived in NYC has been on the LIRR

Freakin awesome! I've always had a special place in my heart for the MTA, especially the M's! If you end up making an M2, M4, or M6 equivelent I will officially love you forever.
