[ Draw Your Train ]

English version.Japanese version.

1pixel = 10cm

Scale : 1pixel =10cm (1m = 10pixels)
Picture Height : 60pixels.
* Edit the parameter and you can use different height pictures.

Pantograph height is 55px in default (51px is default in Japanese version because Japanese train is not so high).
Format : GIF or PNG
* If PNG, no transparent in Netscape4.
* If 24bit-PNG, error transparent in Windows Internet Explorer.(ver.6 or before)
* If IE7 or MacIE, you can use both 8-bit and 24-bit PNG pictures.

* GIF or PNG is one of the bitmap graphics format. So it is not better to use a drawing-software for vector graphics.

DoorOpenCode is "a".

door-closeddoor-open

In eA02SL or eM02, doors can open.
There is a rule to name files. door-open picture must be named door-closed picture name + "a" + suffix. "a" is the door-open-code of the Train Kit. Both suffix must be the same.
* eA02SL ver.2.1 or later, you can change the doorOpenCode separately right / left trains.

Driving Wheel System of Steam Locomotives.

Steam Locomotive is separated into Driving wheels and a Body.



Moving Code
100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111
file name :
There is a rule to move driving wheel.
The picture name of the driving wheel must be NameHead + MovingCode + Suffix.
* befor eA02SL ver.2.1 or eM00SL ver.2.0, suffix of wheels must be .gif.
Sample:
kitWSL_drgT18a_wheelL100.gif
NameHead=kitWSL_drgT18a_wheelL
MovingCode=100
Suffix=.gif

MovingCode starts from 100, and count-up to the Right! (=count-up in Clockward)

Pictures/round Angle Moving Code Description
4 90 degree 100 - 103 Easy to draw. But it is not real motion in slow running.
6 60 degree 100 - 105
8 45 degree 100 - 107 Best balance of moving reality and drawing labor.
12 30 degree 100 - 111 Better for big-diameter wheels. But drawing is hard...
16 22.5 degree 100 - 115 Maximum in this scale. Best reality in slow running! But drawing is very hard...

Smoking

Smoke picture of Steam Locomotive is 121px height.
130px (height of scene) minus 9px (height of rail) is 121pixels.
24bitPNG

If you want reality of smoking, it is better to use animated GIF.
But wheel driving program + animated GIF are heavy load for the browser on low-spec PC. Train runs very slowly. (CrossingAlert is also animated GIF. If you want to run SL on eA02, it is better to use no-crossing-alert...)
