Searching for Indian Rwy stock file

[bootednancy]

I am running "delhi-mughalsaraiacsfexp.zip" from the Open Rails Train Sim Library. Fortunately a consist for the player train is given. The engine is easy to find, though nested in a 5 pack of other units.
I am unable to find the coaches needed for th rest of the train. Any input Search gives "no results". There is NO note from the creator where he got this file. I am looking for a set
of LHB coaches (specifically GP_LHB_xxx) (where xxx are 2AC, PANTRY, FirstAC and GC wagons) Can anyone provide information to which train, set or file these belong to so I can run the activity????? Help greatly appreciated. There used to be a site that you put in the file name and it searches to find the ZIP file it belongs to. Sadly, the website went bust and a hanmdy tool is no longer available.

What has caused the problem that I notice in other ACTIVITY files that CONSIST files are no longer given in a number of Indian Railway activities?????? How are you supposed to know the size and composition of the engine and cars needed to form the player and Traffic trains???? Not as easy as USA consists, going to some book and finding what some of the super passenger trains were for most eras.

Any help, appreciated

Doug, I don't know anything about the Indian side of the hobby but FWI I just tried putting "LHB" into the Indian Passenger Carriages section and got 254 returns. If you haven't already tried that search perhaps you might find what you want? Having read a number of these requests over the years though, there does seem to be a bit of content uploaded here that has dependencies on other Indian sites (current or defunct) and/or is poorly labelled and makes finding what you need very difficult. Good luck!

Nearly all Indian activity writers leave the und user to guess what is needed, and indeed suggest that the end user make up his/her own consists using the consist names given in the activity. Looking at videos of express trains in India, they are generally 15 to 20 cars long, single locomotive, generator car on the rear. Most use a sigle color scheme for the cars, some are a sort of mix'n'match along the consist. Without knowing which LHB set is used I suggest use whatever set you fancy.

That's what it seems to come down to.BALDWIN.......make whatever consist you want............since on a lot of You-Tube videos the trains follow a standard format anyway. Thanks for the idea......Beer is a NECESSITY

aS i FIGURED LOOKING AT A FEW POSTED FILES.....LHB is a common "NEW" ERA CAR, so there are hundreds of files, only variant seems to be the train boards the cars are signed up for

GP_LHB_AC2 etc leads me to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmnrikoHBVA
According to the description under the video these can be downlaoded from a google drive

GP seems to stand for "Games Platform". Are these the LHB's you search for? Clipboard_12-16-2025_02.jpg

VALK1185: i FOUND AND DOWNLOADED YOUR GLOBAL LINK, AND this file looks like what I need for the activity....the GP_LHB_xxx cars. They are nested in with other files for other express trains, but what I need to fill the consist looks like it will work. Thank you for finding them for me.

Hey you can use this site called IndiaRailInfo.com for the same and BTW the activity you downloaded is super incomplete and lacks traffic the actual traffic is way too much you might see many overtakes and Xings I am reworking the activity and will provide you when done and BTW you can try the activity of 12922 and 12925 for the Indian railways they are superb and you would enjoy them a lot
