TracktypeLabels
This page lists existing rail type labels.
Default rail type labels
These labels are used for the trains and tracks in the base game, as well as for train sets that are not rail-type-aware. Consequently, track NewGRFs should always override their properties, or at least make their tracks compatible to them.
Label | Rail Type |
---|---|
RAIL | Normal rail |
ELRL | electrified rail |
MONO | Monorail tracks |
MGLV | Maglev tracks |
Standardized Rail Type Scheme
Several members of the TT Forums have collaborated to define a rail type label scheme that allows for compatibility between train and track sets by different authors. At the same time it allows fancy stuff like axle weight limits, speed limits, different track and electrification types, etc. It is strongly encouraged to follow this scheme in train and track NewGRFs.
See Standardized Railtype Scheme.
Non-standard railtype labels
The following labels were defined before the adoption of the Standardized Rail Type Scheme. They should no longer be used nor supported, and recent versions of the respective NewGRFs generally have dropped them.
