📋 About This Mod
This mod edits the train config file to restore some cut or little-used train cars to free roam passenger trains, such as the bar car and sleeper cars. If you're playing pre-epilogue too, you'll get an observation car at the back of the train, using the model from the prologue train robbery. I'd add that to the epilogue trains, but it doesn't have customizable liveries so it would look kinda out of place in the epilogue.
Install: Just drag and drop the "CustomTrainConfig" folder into your lml folder and the mod loader should do the rest.
Compatibility: This mod idea hasn't really been done before for RDR2 so I wouldn't expect there to be too many incompatibilities. That being said, if any of you find any be sure to let me know
Btw to any mod authors that want to build off of or use this mod in their own, feel free to! When I was new to modding, I'd often build off of what others before me had made in mods I made for private use by myself, so if you wanna use mine to be a base to make your own custom train configs go right ahead.
