📋 About This Mod
This mod now requires Loco Mesh Modifier. Make sure you've installed it before submitting a bug report.
Why hasn't this mod been updated?
There are a few reasons:
-
[]CCL has now been updated, so there's less of a need to hack different wheel arrangements onto the S282.
[
]The S282 is now much stronger by default, and aerodynamic drag isn't simulated, so there's no reason to have arrangements that are faster or more powerful (the S282 is now about as powerful as the duplexes were).[]The new traction simulation in B99 broke my code that changed the factor of adhesion, and it would take a lot of effort to fix this.
[]Changes to the audio system broke my code that gave the duplex its chuff sounds.
[]The S282 throttle lever is now very sluggish, and it's hard to make quick adjustments (like real steam locomotive engineers do). This would make controlling the slippery stuff like the 4-8-4 way more annoying.
This mod changes the wheel arrangement of the S282 to any of these:

Wheel Sizes
Version 1. 1. 0 added new wheel arrangements where the drive wheels and valve gear have been scaled up or down. In the future, I might make custom valve gear with the correct animations and proportions, but for now you'll have to deal with the cursed valve gear.
A larger wheel size means a higher top speed, but lower tractive effort and lower tonnage.
[]All x-4-x locomotives have 80 inch drive wheels (~40% bigger)
[]All x-6-x locomotives have 72 inch drive wheels (~30% bigger)
[]The high-speed 2-8-2 Mikado has 67 inch drive wheels (~20% bigger)
[]All x-12-x locomotives have 47 inch drive wheels (~15% smaller)

Rearranged S282 is a small mod for Derail Valley that lets you change the wheel arrangement of the S282 locomotive using the comms radio. It is not compatible with build 99, so it's only for players on older versions. With 309 endorsements and 9,553 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for those who want to customize their locomotive's appearance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 309 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Simple concept: use the comms radio to switch wheel arrangements on the fly.
- Fills a niche for players who want visual variety on the S282.
⚠️ Cons
- Not updated for build 99, so it's dead for current game versions.
- Limited to one locomotive type — if you don't drive the S282, this mod does nothing for you.
For Derail Valley players who are still on pre-build 99 and want to tweak the S282's wheel layout for a different look. Skip if you're on the latest build or if you rarely use the S282 — this mod won't work for you.

- Use the comms radio in-game to cycle through wheel arrangements; no need to restart the game.
- If you're on build 99, look for an updated alternative or consider downgrading your game version to use this mod.
