doxy’s Minitram (doxy_mini_tram)

This mod adds a Minitram Konstal 105 train model to advtrains, which is a scaled down variant of the Konstal 105N tram.

About

On the LinuxForks Minetest server we realized that advtrains is missing train models which allow for a panoramic view. Therefore, it is currently not possible to make scenic railways with appropriate trains.

The Minitram Konstal 105 train model shall fill this gap. The Konstal 105N is a tram series from eastern europe, which was built in huge numbers, and is now ubiquitous for most tram services in eastern europe.

Relevant for this mod is that it has an angular look, which is suitable for a low poly game like Minetest; and a length of only 13.5m, so it fits well in advtrains. But most important: it has really big windows! The windows are even bigger than busses use to have, so the nickname “aquarium” is not that bad. ;)
