DCForum Discussion Forum - Series 2000 train

I thought that the first car of the Japanese Series 2000 train has a cab and can be controlled by the user while the last car of the train is just for show but while editing the *.eng and *.wag files for the train, I found out that the last car has a cab but can I control it? I'm using the train for the NYCTA subway system for now. Jeffrey.

I don't think you can because in real life the last car has a cab and it has a connection wire that runs through the train and pushes the train as well as the front end pulls it, they are there so the train doesn't have to turn around when going back, and it helps to drive the train.hiya

In Trainz, if the train has multiple units with cabs, you can drive the train from any cab. Jeffrey.

LAST EDITED ON May-13-02 AT 01:23 PM (EDT)Hi,You can only drive a car by cab when that car has an .eng file, not a .wag file.
You must create an .eng file with very little power (1Hp) for your car and then you can attach a cab to it.I found a German example of such an .eng file. Here it is:
