Hey everyone!

We had so many requests for extra lightning rail carriages that we decided to return to this theme. Like the original set, all of the trains have transparent backgrounds so you can move them along tracks or place them wherever you like!

We've added a set of carriage rooftops so that now you can run across them and duck under passing bridges, defend the train from assaulting dragons. Or get picked off...

We've also added a slew of different cargo cars which means there's more loot to steal or defend from train robbers.

For the nobles amongst you we've added some new deluxe carriages, perhaps they need a party to defend them against the rabble boarding in the common sleeper carriages. As well as hospital cars, warforged transports, mail sorting cars, new couchette variations with more space for fighting and a train mounted grand cannon.

Lastly we've made two new engines, one which is a Wild West style steam engine and one which is a British Victorian style steam engine. Just in case you find yourself in the Wild West or a more Steampunk-y setting. (*cough* apparently Peku added a third engine...).

We plan to release a Lightning Rail Station battlemap soon so that you've got some more tracks and destinations for your trains. Keep an eye out for that! 

If people are interested in more, we could build several different styles of stations to match different eras and locales. And maybe a pack of modular lightning rail and regular tracks to mix and match. Let us know in the comments or on the Discord. :3

These are amazing! Fingers crossed for Foundry-ready versions with moving tracks!

You can use Parallaxia for Foundry to create the moving tracks effect!

So how soon are we getting tracks in a snowy environment? :)

Here's what it looks like: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlemaps/comments/gelxuw/eberron_lightning_rail_in_action/

If people want us to do a modular tracks pack then we would likely make snow and desert variations.

I'd -love- both of those! The snowy track path is the only thing i'm missing for my modified Rime of the Frostmaiden game.

Different modular track variations would be great!! And if you make a snowy tracks it'd really inspire me to have Snowpiercer-style one-shot/campaign :D

Wow the first set is what convinced me to become a Patreon. Very excited for this second set!

I'm kinda sad there's no roof for the Engine car yet

Hey there Cze and Peku! Big fan of your maps. I'm currently a $1 tier subscriber, but there are certain individual map sets I'd love to try and pick up the higher tier packs (this one in particular!). Is there a way I can purchase individual map sets at a higher tier?

czepeku

Ah, i'm not sure how we forgot that. We'll try and make that soon.

czepeku

Individual packs are for sale through Roll20, DTRPG and Itch, although this pack hasn't been added to those yet as we're behind on our backlog. Unfortunately Patreon doesn't allow you to buy different packs at different levels.

Lubyak

Ah, alright, guess I'll just look forward to this pack going up on Roll20! Thanks!

Is there a way in foundry to compile many of the cars into one train? Each car loads as it's own scene when I import into foundry?

Eike Schultz

You can use an empty background (or better yet the rails) instead of a cart in the scene settings and then put the individual cart image files in as tiles of size 700x1960 (as that's the image's pixel dimensions).

Stephen Pearce

Is there any way we could get the rooftop of train itself to go with the closed top carriages? I know the art exists from the station map.

czepeku

There's a link to it on the post for the Lightning Rail Platforms pack.

Can't seem to find the Steam Engine with Roof asset anywhere..??
