Reskin Class 45 - Green

[Pdguru]

Can anyone direct me to a good quality reskin of the Class 45 Peak for a BR green livery? Thanks!

Been looking for one myself in all the usual places but no luck. :-(

Ditto. Still looking. They do exist. I saw an excellent one someone was using on a you tube video featuring the Port Line. If I could only find the clip I could ask the producer.

I have since found out that there was an IHH green 45 but it is now discontinued which is a shame.

I've only been on train sim for a year or so and still wet behind the ears but I gather there's been some bad blood between IHH and some in the community. It's a shame as IHH seems to have produced some quality stuff. I've gathered a shed load of DLC, mostly cheap or free but there are glaring gaps. \the peak for one and class 47's pre TOPS. I'll keep looking.

Dovetail now own the Iron Horse House models. As and when they see there is a need, I expect Dovetail will re-release the green ones. There are two variations, with centre or outside headcode panels. A green livery of the blue one would be a bit pointless as it doesn't have headcode panels.

Blue Pre TOPS 47s and more here. https://www.vulcanproductions.co.uk/diesel.html
I'd like them in the two tone green too.

Thanks Cat for taking the trouble to provide that link. I've been on the steam sound supreme/Vulcan site before but no pre tops peaks or 47's. Of the 2 pre tops green 47's I own, D1661 can't be edited and the other rejoices in the fixed number of 43210.

You're welcome, the pre TOPS blues are a recent addition.

YouTube clip found. All the loco's appear within the first 2 minutes of the clip. The author calls himself Sly401 but I believe he might actually be Paul Godber, the head honcho at IHH?. If the link doesn't work then search 'condor port road green chapter 2' on you tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbAymuALQ0o .

Yes, that is Paul's Youtube channel. He isn't planning a return to TS, as he is working on his own UE4 game called "Trackside". Your only hope for getting these old products back would be for DTG to release them, but it looks like they stopped 'upgrading' them and releasing them a while back.

Thanks for finding this-it'll make a good stopgap until AP get around to a Class 45 EP!

I have the IHH Class 45 Peak and BR Green. I must have got them before IHH closed down.
