Overview

This mod adds colorful glowing trails to trains as they drive around


Features

  • Color and Glow can be independently enabled or disabled
  • Size and Length of the trail can be changed in mod settings
  • Trail color can either sync to the train or use one of 90+ animated color palettes (country flags, pride flags, railway companies, and more!)
  • Fully compatible with multiplayer games and modded trains
  • Passenger mode toggle: for when you only want trails for trains with a player in them
  • Includes main menu background simulation integration that reflects the currently active mod settings
  • Four performance modes to balance visual quality and game performance: beautiful, pretty, balanced, and efficient
  • Optimized for minimal UPS impact. Only active trains are processed. Trails are only rendered for trains on visible surfaces. Rendering is tightly controlled to minimize draw calls and reduce render preparation time and GPU load.
