BR Trains v2

A UK Train Set addon (newGRF) for OpenTTD, aiming to replicate UK rail (train and tram) rolling stock from the entire history of the British Railway Network

With a focus on real-world consists and liveries, this set is unashamedly real-world-first with an aim to be able to recreate the UK rail network in game. If it's ever run on the UK network, we probably either have it or intend to soon. If you find something missing you love, let us know in Discord on TT-Forums - requests tend to jump to the top of the queue

Installation

Grab the latest release from the in-game content downloader.

Alternatively get it from the releases page and copy it into your OpenTTD/newGRF folder (usually in your Documents folder)

Building from Source

Easy version: Just push the source to Github and it will build automatically. Otherwise:

Building from the source should be mostly automated using the build.py script, but it has a few requirements:

  • Python3.8 (may work on earlier versions but untested)
  • nml Python package (available through pip)

To build the grf completely, just run the following command in your terminal:

python build.py --compile brtrainsv2

This should first compile the .nml file, then compile that through to a .grf file using nml. Install in the same manner as previously described, copying the generated .grf file into OpenTTD/newGRF.

Note, this method still requires the nml python package to be installed.
