Request: Metro P3010 LRV and/or HR4000 subway car

[42A7C5]

I think it would be awesome to have a high-floor LRV like the LA Metro P3010 in the mod - it would fill a gap between the brown and red subway cars, which are high-floor and have very detailed, metro-like seating layouts, and the green subway car which is low-floor and more similar to a tram. This LRV could sit in-between, with a metro-like layout and high-floor boarding but also with the green car's wide line display and general design. Overall, I think it would add a lot to the mod. As for the HR4000, LA's next-gen subway car, it would provide a more streamlined, standard design so subway lines wouldn't be forced to use the unique brown subway cars.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the suggestions, I'll start work on these when I get the time! Thanks for the excellent reference photos, and these trains look really cool :)

Sorry for the late reply here - I just checked out the version on the lrv_p3010 branch and it looks amazing! I am not an artist or 3D modeler, so thank you again for all your hard work here. Now, I'd better start lengthening my platforms...

You're welcome! Of course I still have to complete the interior and the livery stuff, but I'm glad you like it! Indeed... I had to do the same thing for a number of my worlds

The HR4000 subway is now finished!

However, the subway itemstrings need to be updated so that they are registered as part of the Subways mod itself rather than AdvTrains, which unfortunately will cause breaking changes (this is part of the Features of a Good Train Pack page, in the Registering in your own namespace section)

Completed in commit 📝 Marked HR4000 as complete in README.md

Reopening this as I'm redoing all the subways again. This is part of my big refactoring project.
