simonjackson1964 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Something that would be really handy would be the ability to change the variation of an object in an event. For example, Filling a wagon with coal. Sure, it's possible to put a coal textured primitive in the wagon and make it visible and invisible. Heck, I've even had it move up and down on a length of virtual track, as the wagon fills and empties, but that's complex and there are a lot of open wagons that have full and empty variants. it would be a lot easier to just switch between them But how about the 40' containers? Have a train go off the baseboard with a load of Hamburg Süd containers and have the same train come back on with a load of Maersk containers, just by changing the variation? I'm sure there would be other applications for this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonjackson1964 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Wow, that's pretty cool, thanks. And customised textures to make it be anything else that might be loaded into an open wagon. A great addition to the catalogue, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonjackson1964 Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 All the same, it still leaves the option of changing the owner of a container, or changing the season of a tree - not sure why that might happen but it might... Changing the variation of people waiting on a platform or at a bus stop. Change the colour of a road vehicle that has left the baseboard and is about to re-enter. The same with the carriages of a passenger train, or any vehicle for that matter, so that what comes back onto the layout is different from what just left...

hmclay Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I would also like this option of changing the object variation. I was looking for a way to do this before I opened this request to find out it is not available. Sure would be a great addition !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
