Hi! Thank you for asking! Unfortunately I haven't had time to do any work. Also, I'm waiting for the documentation for modding to be released. And also, there still isn't any model converter that exports from Blender to Transport Fever, right? When I have the tools (and time), I will be happy to continue the modpack!

Thanks! I haven't had much time for modding this summer, but I will continue with my work in November when I have less other stuff to do. I promise to finish the X2000. I also want the train in Train Fever and Transport Fever. It will not be in the next Nordic DLC update unfortunately, but some of my Rc-locomotives and passenger coaches will be in there.

Are you planning to have interior models to your mods for Transport Fever?
Looks great as always!

Yes, I will add interior to my models. Thanks!

After almost 3 months of inactivity, I just want to make an update about the current state of the project.

Work, and outdoor activities during the summer has taken all of my time, so not much progress have been done really. Now that autumn is coming up, I'm ready to continue the work. However, with Transport Fever just around the corner, I'm planning on releasing this mod-pack only for Transport Fever. That means I won't make any more models game-ready for Train Fever, and I can't really make any models game-ready for Transport Fever yet, since I don't know the file structures and texture options etc etc for Transport Fever mods. This means I will focus on doing only the 3D meshes for new models, and continue with texturing and game-importing later when Transport Fever is released.

If you want to try some of my already finished models in Train Fever, some of them will be included in the next Nordic DLC update, soon to be released.

Last but not least, I do actually have made some progress during the summer. I've been working on this rather strange diesel multiple unit from the 50s'. SJ Y3. Keep in mind this is work in progress. I've also improved my normal map skills which hopefully can be seen in these pictures, around the windows for example.

Until next time!

I don't know what happened to the X2000 that was being done for the Nordic dlc. The whole project became very quite. Any plans you're going to make one for the Swedish Mod pack?

If the one in the Nordic DLC doesn't get released, I will do it. I have blueprints.

One last post about the class Rc engine, before moving on to other vehicles. Here are all versions that I've included in the modpack. Rc1-Rc6 on track 1-6 and "Rm" furthest away on track 7. Rm is the strongest, heaviest and slowest version (314kN, 90t, 100km/h), made for hauling iron ore trains in the north of Sweden.

Is it true that some of these locomotives got new one-arm pantographs?

Yes, that is true for the locomotives with top speed 160km/h, like class Rc3 and Rc6. But many still have the old diamond-shaped pantographs. I've actually chosen the individual vehicle numbers on the locomotives so that none of mine have the wrong pantograph, (except for the grey Rc6 which in reality had a one-armed in one end and a diamond-shaped in the other.)

Since 2001, Green Cargo is the government-owned freight train operator in Sweden. It was created out of the former logistics division of SJ, when SJ got divided into seven different companies in 2001.

Here are some class Rc4 locomotives in Green Cargo colors:

Are those new coaches as well?

Yes, those are the most recent coaches from the 80s.

Some more train combinations with the 60s coaches:

1990s train with combined bistro & cinema coach.

1960s train:

In reality, trains were often mixed with different color versions like this:

Some more 80s coaches:

80s coaches with special 60s restaurant coach "Svenska Orientexpressen"

Zitat von SwissCH

your work is really well done, very detailed textures and clean meshes and a extensive normal map on all of your vehicles.

I really enjoy seeing more of your work in the future. Also you are one of the few modern that makes good use of cycle rendering.

If i had to critic something it would be the windows, not because they are done badly but because the rest of your model is more detailed, maybe you could try to have a bit of color variation within the windows.

Keep it up

Thanks for your comment! I agree about the windows looking a bit bad, but that's mostly on the rendered images. In the game, the windows are reflective and look much better.

I've got more vehicles to show. Just finished the class Rc5 and Rc6. They look completely the same, but have different gearing, giving them different top speeds and traction.

Rc5

Name: SJ Rc5
Year: 1982
Built: 60
Top speed: 135km/h
Weight: 78t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 290kN

Rc6

Name: SJ Rc6
Year: 1985
Built: 40
Top speed: 160km/h
Weight: 78t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 250kN

The Rc locomotives have had many different paint schemes throughout the years. I have included the most common ones (and also some not so common) in the modpack. Here are some different passenger train combinations with mostly 1980s coaches which I've just finished working on:

1980s:

1990s:

mid-1990s

1990s: (Inter Regio)

1996:

2001: (BlueX - special train with interior from the X2000)

2006:

2005: (SSRT SJ Norrlandståg)

Anton the look soooo niiiiice GREAT GREAT Work, you have done until now

Thanx!

More passenger coaches, from the 1930s.
Until 1956, trains in Sweden (and the rest of Europe as well, I think) had 1st, 2nd and 3rd class. 1st class was really luxury. In 1956, 1st class was removed, and 2nd class became the new 1st class, and 3rd class became 2nd class.

SJ co9b 3rd class coach.

Next locomotive, one of my favorites:

SJ Ra "Rapid"

Name: SJ Ra
Year: 1955
Built: 10
Top speed: 150km/h
Weight: 65t
Power: 2640kW
Tractive effort: 200kN

Mainly used on the mainline between Stockholm and Göteborg.

From left to right: 1955, 1961 & 1974.

Zitat von Mr_Tattarisuo

Are those coaches still in service in night trains? I think the train I took from Malmö to Stockholm had such coaches.

Yes, they are! Took some photos of them here in Göteborg last month:

The sleeping coaches are a bit different from the standard coaches as they are about 10cm taller. The roof is much closer to the doors on the standard coaches.

Many of the standard coaches are also still in use, just not for SJ, but for some private companies such as TÅGAB and Skandinaviska Jernbanor.

Time to show some passenger coaches from the 60s.

SJ B1 2nd class coach.

1960 (original appearance):

1965 (accordion gangway replaced with rubber gangway):

1970 (new logotype):

1987 (new design):

1990 (new logotype and design):
:

1994 (simplified design):

1996 (new design):

These coaches were taken out of regular service in 2006, just before SJ introduced their new black design profile.

Typical late 1960s train.

I always liked those "find the difference" riddles

Haha, good one . Yes, the differences between Rc1-Rc4 are small.

Hi everybody!

I've been busy creating some Swedish trains for Train Fever. The plan is to eventually have a complete modpack that includes trains from all eras, 1850 to present times. I thought I would share my work in progress here.

The most common locomotive in Sweden is the class Rc electric locomotive. It was built from 1967 to 1988 in many different versions, and is still widely in use today. Rc is a universal locomotive built for both freight and passenger trains. Nowadays, the faster Rc3 and Rc6 are used for passenger trains, Rc2 and Rc4 are used for freight trains, Rc1 is used for shunting, and Rc5 doesn't exist anymore (converted to Rc6).

SJ Rc1

The first version above from 1967 was just called "Rc". It was later renamed Rc1 when Rc2 came out in 1969.
Name: SJ Rc
Year: 1967
Built: 20
Top speed: 135km/h
Weight: 80t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 275kN

SJ Rc2

Rc2, an improved version of Rc1.
Name: SJ Rc2
Year: 1969
Built: 100
Top speed: 135km/h
Weight: 76,8t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 275kN

SJ Rc3

Rc3 is identical with Rc2, except for the gearing, making it faster.
Name: SJ Rc3
Year: 1970
Built: 33
Top speed: 160km/h
Weight: 76,8t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 235kN

SJ Rc4

Sweden's most common locomotive, with 130 units built. It had the new logotype from the 1970s when it came out.
Name: SJ Rc4
Year: 1975
Built: 130
Top speed: 135km/h
Weight: 78t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 290kN

More versions of the Rc locomotive are in the making, so stay tuned!

Track and overhead lines

As you may have noticed, I have changed the color of the ballast, making it more Swedish looking in my opinion.

These are the over head wires. There are two types in Sweden, old and modern. Since the game only allows one version, I've chosen the old poles. It's more realistic to have old poles in modern times, than the opposite.

This is what the poles for multiple track looks like.

That's it for now.

I'm also waiting for new/updated material being send to me

I will also request for a telented modder building the DSB Litra E / SJ Litt F Steam Engine. We have all the material needed. (Blueprints and some Photos.) If you like to do the Job, write me a PM.

Hi! I will eventually do this locomotive, but probably not until 2-3 months from now. My priority right now is swedish passenger coaches. I will soon release 30s, 40s, 60s and 80s passenger coaches. So if someone wants it faster, go ahead.
Btw, I have material to send you and will do that soon.

Modeling the Swedish SJ 30s passenger coaches as well.

Work in progress SJ 80s coaches

Yes, but none of the 60s coaches got painted black, except some sleeper coaches.
