Trams July 24, 2009, 07:44:42 am Not sure where this is meant to be, perhaps Simutrans engine, but I wasn't sureWhilst taking my daily dose of Wikipedia, I found this.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tram-trainWould it be possible to implement this?Tram Electrification is already is the rail section.So, could it be possible to do this. I might have just got this all horribly wrong, and it's already been done. Quote Selected

Re: Trams Reply #2 – July 24, 2009, 12:18:55 pm Ah, thank you very much. So Trains can run on tram line using tram electrification, or do they need old/highspeed/standard catenary?Also, can trams use old/standard catenary on train lines?What about trolleybuses? Quote Selected

Trolleybuses no they have own but the electrification might work for both (Never tested that, I use diesel power) Quote Selected
Re: Trams Reply #4 – July 24, 2009, 05:07:16 pm Trolleybusses and trams can use the same catenaries. I have many tram-trains running usually. Tram tracks in the city and train tracks (110 km/h) outside. I usually choose a train model that looks like it could logically run on both systems. For this purpose I have downloaded many Japanese ones as they have a lot of equipment that looks good on tram tracks but is actually rail!W Quote Selected

Re: Trams Reply #6 – July 24, 2009, 05:46:57 pm yes because in the streets it will only show one of the catenaries ... Quote Selected
Re: Trams Reply #7 – April 17, 2010, 06:06:52 pm Maragil: you can ignore Waerth.Waerth: I don't agree. Both catenaries are showed in streets - but their poles are covering each other. So you see poles of only one catenary. Wires of both catenaries are visible very well.And this is the most important: trolleybus catenary can be build over tram track only if it (meant tram track) is built over road. Look well. Right now I have not any screenshot because I don't use trams while I transport post. And in currently open game I transport post. Quote Selected
