In the UK Horse Cars often included accommodation for the groom(s), and were still in use into the 50's. Hornby Dublo made a nice 'OO' scale rendition of a modern example. They were designed to run on passenger trains. During the Victorian era they were used in conjunction with special flat cars to convey their owner's carriages. The anglo-scottish trains at the start and end of the grouse shooting season would often convey these cars.

Hello, Tim and all.
Thanks for permission to try and film Your repaints.
I've made a ride and took 45 screenshots.
As a reward /contribution, here is a *wag-file sample, completed with smoke effect, as each of those cars have a stove.
Do they have lamps inside?

I wish it was able to be turnable on/off, at least for winter. For cool carriage-cool effects. That's fair.

My wish is also to implement a ON/OFF for this smoke.

Possible is also a automatic functionality via a query of the season.
For example: A ENG for summer and a second for winter, similar to the textures

Greetings
Arnold

Sounds like a good function to have for serious operators.

In the meantime, I love the smoke from the smoke jacks, weter, thanks very much for doing that.

I adore, how softly this smoke goes. Thanks for those, who have implemented that code.Especially, in combination with light snowfall at the dawn.
If You would specify diesel-generator smoke, it will appear darker and it's jet will more have more strength.I guess, both are gepending on exhausting hole diameter.
