AB-LRV-Type8-MBTA-DOUBLE by bubbac2005
The AnsaldoBreda made Light Rail Vehicle Type 8… It’s farily new on Boston’s Green Line, and it’s really shiny… They were purchased to make the Green Line more Handicap accessible. They hold slightly less people than the Kinkis Sharyo Type 7’s, and are also plagued by technical problems.. and this asset is no different..
Each Tram is 3 cars. The front end, and back end, each hold 50 people, while the mid section holds 10. For a total of 110 people per tram.
This version is the Double version (220 people) which is the standard configuration.
Known issues-
High Tris (8k)
Route signs on the sides have some unlit pixels.. (but that actually is how most of them are in real life anyway) i now know why.. the signs are located past the rear 50% mark of the model.. meaning they render the illumination mask as brake lights. if i think of a work around for this i will fix it.. otherwise, just gotta deal with signs that only light up with when braking..
Mid section takes corners kinda funky.. will continue to work it out. i’ve put a lot of time into it, but i wanted to get these out there.
