Hello all.

I have made a wood chip bin for Railworks, but can't figure out how the blueprint would have to be set up so it can work as a steam train fuel source in Railworks.

Would like to ask if anyone here might know how to set up a blueprints for a steam train fuel source.

Sincerely jpetersjr


Here's the item I have built.

you could alwayse copy the blueprints from the default coal tower and modify it for this?

Just a driver, I don't do any design work, but couldn't you just replace the coal in an existing tender with wood chips if you want that in there? \

Now, JP, no offense here, why wood chips? Just curious. Steam trains use coal, some actually use propane or LPG.

Most of Cecil Kerr's trains use wood chips, and later when I become more experienced I'll be building some wood burners more likely.

And early trains were in fact wood burners, this will help the scene to look more real. And I might also release it as a scenery object, haven't decided there yet.

So this will be for those.

OK, then, JP, go back to my first observation. Can't you just substitute wood chips for coal in the existing tender?
