@MonsNotTheMonster I don't use blueprints; I use photos and my knowledge of trains, as I'm what they call a railfoamer. I don't need blueprints; I already know what to do, lol.
But if you want details, just use ChatGPT, and it will basically answer everything. In my case, I used it to figure out the exact configuration of the railcars based on what would be a normal consist for the region.
I try my best to be as accurate as possible, especially with the consist, because it's important to know how many economy cars, for example, are needed for a specific service and in what layout/position they are on the train, such as 1 baggage, then 2 economy, then 4 sleeper cars.
@TheCanauckNamedCody same here. Your trains are hella cool. May I ask, where do you get the blueprints of these?
@Boeing727200F thanks man that means alot<3
