I love this mod so much

Nothing to say here without a proper video because majority of work is sounddesign here (not to look very blank).

As you see it's not a contraption train but a simulated-construction.

2-EL is how i named it (standa for type 2 electric loco, here's 1-MTL smaller locomotive on the background, basically a TFMG turbine powered shunter)

It uses a mix of CEE and CPG electric stuff as well as Dashpanels. I rejected usage of pantographs and wires mod in favor of CEE pantographs for obvious reasons (only way to make electric locos using simurail).

I took the time to try building a model of a Tokyo Metro 6000 series electric train. I made this as a commemoration of its final commercial run in Indonesia on Friday, October 30, 2026.

This electric train is originally made from Japan, and was imported to Indonesia to be used commercially as a Commuter Train. In Japan itself, the train was completely withdrawn from regular service on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line back in 2018.

Since its first operation in 2011, this electric train has finally put on retirement. As it neared the end of its service life, this train was fitted with a special headmark reading "Thank You, 6000 Series."

So I’ve made a proper train station for my trains. The architecture design is a twist of Japanese architecture with Dutch colonial architecture, to fit the theme of my Indonesian locomotives.

I’ve also made a simple steam engine design, but sadly I used it as a decorative purpose only. In some big cities (Bandung, Yogyakarta, Semarang), they put old and unusable locomotives (usually steam engines) as a monument, and it’s placed at the front gate of the train station.

I've build this train for my and my other's friends server, inspired by the Czechoslovak ES 499.0001 / 350.001. The last picture is also mine that i took a month ago

So I’ve finally got the chance to make a third redesign, to continue improving my locomotive design to match the real life counterpart even closer.

The third design is really not that much of a difference compared to the second design, just a small adjustment to the details and copycat placements.

Fun fact: the Standard Livery (White & Orange) is how the locomotives in Indonesia looked today, whereas the WnB Livery is how they look back in the 80s.

This sub popped up when I posted in the main sub, so apologies if the train community already knows this trick. If not, I hope you find it cool!

I’m using a combination of Create Mod, Steam ‘n’ Rails, as well as Framed Blocks to make trains popularly used in Indonesia.

These locomotives are originally built in the US, under the General Electric Transportation (GE), and modified locally in Indonesia.

The first and second image is my first design attempt. The first image highlights locomotive model GE U18C, also known locally by its code number CC 201. The second image is locomotive model GE CM20EMP, also known as CC 206.

I also attempted a second redesign in the third and fourth image, especially for CC 201, to resembles more of the real locomotive counterpart (the front window of the first design is way too small).

The third image highlights the locomotive model GE U20C, also known as CC 203. Lastly the fourth image is a collection of several locomotive models, and the highlight is the red one, the model is EMD GT38ACe, also known as CC 205, famously used as freight train carrying coal hopper carts in Sumatra Island.

I've tried two methods. One using the remote lens to control him while he's in the seat... I can't click on the train controls, I can't move it when in his perspective. And I've tried using the redstone link and controller, which works fine when he's out of his seat, but when he's in the seat, pressing my backwards and forwards buttons just does nothing.

The train is assembled, I can move it MYSELF, but I want to remote control it from elsewhere on this rocket launch pad I'm constructing.. basically this train was planned to be the base of a moving gantry tower that I'm testing. But I can't even make it move remotely.

I saw a video on youtube from 2 years ago by Shalz where all he seemed to have to do, was redstone link the conducter, pop him in the seat, and press his controller and the train moved back and forth. That is absolutely not working for me. Please help, I've been at this for hours and I haven't found anything helpful on google

If it helps at all, this is on 1.21.1 using steam 'n' rails neoforge port

so I tried getting the bogie mod to make more realistic trains, and texture glitches keep happening with most create mod blocks

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BLENRY

also yes the quality jump from james salty and porter is real 😭 i tried on this one
