Description of model which is used for the `Railyard' information.
enginesound
References the kuid number for the traincar's sound asset.
hornsound
References the kuid number for the traincar horn sound asset.
enginespec
References the engine kuid number. This specifies the driver physics boundaries for the traincar.
pantograph
The pantograph kuid number inserted at a.pant0, a.pant1, etc. Use this tag only when needed.
company
The Locomotive or car owner, eg "QR".
interior
Kuid number of the interior, inserted at a.cabfront. This tag should only be used when required (an interior is needed when the traincar is a locomotive).


"mesh-table" Container

The main traincar mesh.

auto-create
Specifies that this mesh is automatically created (visible without needing to resort to a script).
shadow

The mesh model to be used as a shadow.


"bogeys" Container

The bogeys container stores the bogeys used for the loco\rollingstock item.

Sub-container 0' fixes a bogey to attachment a.bog0, sub-container 1 fixes a bogey to attachment a.bog1 and so on.

Bogey Sub-Containers

Each bogey is specified as:

bogey

The bogey kuid number

reversed
Ticking this box in CCP will make the bogey have a reversed orientation. Note: This will cause bogey animation to play in reverse, unless attachment points are rotated 180 degrees. Affects the direction of the bogey, relative to the traincar.

See Chapter 7 for an example asset of this kind.
