Vectron locomotives for BVE

You will find here:

https://bvepoland.wordpress.com/locomotives/electric/vectron/

a complete collection of Vectron locomotives which have been developed by Rave and Rodry Origel (thanks to both !).

Those Vectron locomotive are standard 5.2-6.4 MW electric passenger/freight locomotives that can be seen on many European networks (more details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectron_(locomotive)).

The included models (10 Mo per locomotive) are:

- Vectron MS for the Polish Lotos Operator 


- Vectron DC for the German operator DB Schenker


- Vectron MS for the Swiss Operator SBB Cargo (can be seen on the Gothard route)


- Vectron MS for the Austrian operator OeBB


- Vectron MS for the Polish operator PKP Cargo


Now, how to build a superb freight train, with a collection of wagons behind the locomotive?

1. Download freight wagons. You will find a lot:
- here: https://bvepoland.wordpress.com/carriages/freight/ (Thanks again Rave !)
  
- or here: http://openbve.toile-libre.org/index.php?category=wagons (Thanks Hervé Duliscouët !)
     

2. Follow the methodology as indicated by Rave here: https://bvepoland.wordpress.com/how-to/create-consist/. It is not complicated and you can multiply the train consists on your routes (as a matter of fact, the methodology is the same for freight or passenger trains)...

Oh wow, that is looking good at first glance!

Very nice locomotives, make also Slovak livery (if you want)

Well, those VECTRON locomotives with a Slovak livery should be quite fine. I suggest you try to produce it yourself. The 3D locomotive is quite difficult to build, but a new livery is easier (by far !) to apply, so it will be a pleasant time (you will have to find livery pics and replace the existing livery).

Just for your information, Rave (the author of the VECTRON locomotives) indicates what follows on his website:

Please do not worry about the License legal content. The basic meaning is that you just need to send a small message to Rave (bvepoland@bvepoland.ct8.pl) asking the authorization to re-use his Vectron model in order to produce a Vectron Slovak locomotive. As Rave is very nice AND due to the Central Europe proximity between Poland and Slovakia, I am sure you will obtain the needed permission without any issue  .

I am wondering where does the "Eaos" pack model come from. 

sorry but downloads dont work for me.

Hi again 
For each loco or rolling stock unit, the process is the same as for the railway routes:

• click on 'download' and copy the link adress (mouse, right)
  
• open a new browser tab
  
• paste the link adress (mouse, right) 
  
• then carriage return
  

... and (miracle !) the download should start. Tested just right now.

Well, all European Eaos have the same aspect, isn't it?
