Hype Train Express 1.0! (Pic Heavy)

[Ival70]

I was able to upload it to KerbalX pretty easily, I've added the download link, but I'll put it here too.

OK that is pretty epic!

[Ohm Machre]

Very nice! Though I shoulda probably have known better than try to load it on my weak processor. XD

[Ival70]

I suppose I could split it up into separate craft files for the engine, tender, and each passenger car. I know that the engine and tender together are over 500 parts, but about 100 of those are the KSP HYPE logo. and each car is less than 100 parts each, and they are all interchangeable.

[Otterer]

Maybe you could also put up the files for the Hoopla Puff Jr. and other accessories?

[zekes]

Best thing I've ever seen in KSP. By far.

[Ival70]

Thank you guys! Zekes , that means a lot coming from one of the forums big builders.

Also, I have added the download for the Hoopla Puff Jr. Link in the first post, and here as well.

I was also going to split up the Hype Train Express into individual components, but I've been side-tracked playing 1.0. I'll get to that soon hopefully.

Before you know it, theres gonna be an A4 Mallard train in the space exchange.

Named something like "B6 Wigeon" or something

The A4 looks really cool, the only thing that I don't like is that the wheels are covered up on some of them. I'm thinking when (if) I ever make another, I'll try to do something that reduces the part count.. or I might go all out and make a union pacific big boy! (my computer says the first option is better). Also, by Wigeon, do you mean a duck, or an asteroid? Oh wait.. I get the joke. xD (it's a duck)

I originally wanted to settle with Gadwall or Garganey, but as it turns out, they were already taken by actual A4s

And covered up wheels on a certain number of them reminds me of '50s and '60s American Cars.

I am also considering a B6 Sir Martin Kerman as well as the Wigeon.

I do get that vibe from it, which kind of makes sense considering the A4 was in service then. The reason I don't like it so much is because I really enjoy seeing all the motion behind moving the wheels.

I might try to do something without a tender, a tank engine, or maybe an electric engine.. I've always liked the PRR GG1.

[Otterer]

I think I liked the more open wheeled design because it didn't deviate to far from other standard hypetrains. It still held onto the classic hypetrain look, we just gave it a little more of an aerodynamic touch with a dash of detail. Although, a fully streamlined, wheel covered engine sounds like a rather good idea

I would love to see how long it would last falling through the atmosphere after the new update!

YES. This will be done.

[Ohm Machre]

KerbalX no longer seems to have the Hype Train. This makes me very sad with the advent of 1.1. :c

Oh wow, this thread used to have something like 10 pages before the forums migrated, odd...

Glad to see this thread rise from the Moholes at any rate.

 

Anyhow, I think the downloads should be working now.  If it still isn't working, I could arrange another way to download it.

[Whovian41110]

Can this be uploaded without the passenger cars?

Try making a freight train!

Unfortunately, this is quite an old thread, Kebab Kerman. Don't expect many new developments here.  

But welcome to our forum.

It seems like we might be needing to get the train out again for the PS4 and Xbox1 release...

Ival70, maybe we could put some Freight Cars on this one, eh?

[έķ νίĻĻάίή]

Yes

 I loved the whole post.  Thank you for sharing.  And the internals of the tiny engine are super cute.
