Marker Lamp Update



With the recent update of the TTTELocomotive script, I decided to implement marker lamp scripting on my models. I've been asked about this a few times over the years, and it felt like now was a good time. As such, all the models with lamp irons on this website have now been updated with this functionality. This is all of the standard-gauge steam engines, and Mavis. I'm guessing Mavis has lamp irons as her class pulled tramway trains on the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway.


These models will have the 'TVS Style' lamps by default (i.e. one lamp on the front right). However, you can change the marker lamps in two different ways. The first is through surveyor:


This will automatically set the correct lamps for whichever marker lamp is selected. However, this **will not** save with the session. I.e. the lamps will reset to the default if you save the session then load it separately in driver. This will also happen if you switch from driver to surveyor mode and back again. This is a known issue with the underlying AJS Superscript/TTTELocomotive scripting in Trainz 2019 and Trainz 2022.


The marker lamps can also be set in Driver mode, via the TTTELocomotive inteface:


This is simply a question of clicking on which lamps you want to show up.


For tank engines (except Bill & Ben), rear lamps have also been set up. These are set up as 'extra lamps' in the script. As such, for these you will see extra options in the Driver TTTELocomotive menu for these locomotives:


These extra lamps are toggled by clicking the checkbox next to them. All updated tank engines should have these rear lamps.


Please note that Toby does not have a bottom-middle lamp on either end. This is how it was set up on his basis, the LNER J70. Bill and Ben also don't have a bottom-middle lamp, as there was no space for it between the buffer beam and their faces.


Some new rolling stock has also been released in the 'Standard-Gauge Rolling Stock' section. First up is a 3-axle box van, based on one used by the LMS railway. It's an update of the very first box van model I did, around the same time I first made Alice. There's also a smaller wood van, which is somewhat freelanced. It's a shortened, 2-axle version of the 3-axle van. Both vans come in brown, grey, blue, red and green liveries.
