Welcome to my Dieselpunk road train pack. This first version contains a selection of passenger trailer consists and matching locomotives. I hope to eventually add some freight equipment as well.
The rear view camera can be zoomed in and out by pressing ctrl+1. Adjust the height of the trailer drawbars with F1 and F2. Always set your transmission to full auto. The trailers can be entered and have a Ringfeder coupling at the rear for daisy chaining (careful, the brakes on subsequent trailers will not work).

Notes
Made for version 0.38.67. Other versions are generally untested and may or may not work.
The wheels may oscillate when stationary because they are optimised for low rolling resistance. Exercise caution when stopping or parking as they may creep.
The long consists are extremely fps-hostile. Do not expect playable framerates with the longest combination unless your CPU is very powerful and has a very large cache.
These vehicles are not designed to deform realistically in a crash.
Except for the front and rear, collision meshes are disabled for performance reasons.
Licence
With the exception of the sound provided by BigBoy, all assets used are available for modding with no further permission needed. See the readme for specific file information and licensing details. Edit: the readme included in the .zip file misattributes some files. A corrected readme is attached separately in the showroom thread.
This is a Cushman Industrial Vehicle similar to the Titan series. This is my first truck (besides the tutorial), so please give feedback. It has a custom dash, custom sounds, and is fully sub-meshed. I also tuned the engine best I could to mimic an electric motor, and it is only about 100 kilos away from the real vehicle weight. Mods are welcome, and encouraged, just remember to give credit. Enjoy!

Update (v1.1):
-Stiffened the shocks slightly for a better ride. (Still fun though)
-Added two new skins, Red and Blue.
-Reduced stalling when switching gears, or under high load.
-A few other niceties.
This is the dumper-version of my Mercedes Kurzhauber. Everything is made by me. Its ropable, so you could also carry it.
Its a bad frameeater, but you can deactivate the mirrors and the mesh-wheels if you ve poor framerates.
Its not already done, but for the moment its some nice stuff i think.
you can connect trailers to the front- and the back-hook
You can lower and lift the supports with F1/F2
You can lower and lift the Dumper with F3/F4
As long as you give me credits, you re allowed do verything you like to and that makes the trucks better.
Using parts of my trucks for your own project surely also allowed, only let the people know who has done the originals.
It was nice to get an PM if you plan to publish it on other sites than these.
