BR Class 40

Description
It's the crime of the century mates! The very same diesel locomotive that involved in The Great Train Robbery of 1963!

On the night of 8th August, the train from Glasgow to London pulled by a BR Class 40 diesel carried £2,500,000 was targeted by a gang lead by Ronnie Biggs. They tampered the signal light at Sears Crossing to stop the train and coshed the train crew before hijacking the train. But the robbers realised they couldn’t move the train themselves, so they forced the half-conscious driver to move the decoupled mail coaches from the rest of the train to Bridego Bridge where they can unload the money into their getaway vehicles.

D326 (40126) loco was considered to be a jinxed by the railwaymen, with some drivers reluctant to drive it. Up until it's withdrawal in 1984, the loco was offered to the National Railway Museum who declined it and was reduced into scrap pile.

D318 (40118) made a fame in a 1967 film, Robbery which starred Stanley Baker and it was a fictionalised version of the Great Train Robbery itself. Happily enough D318 has survived into preservation and it's currently residing at Tyseley Locomotive Works awaiting to be restored.

About this Model:

This pack consists of an English Electric Type 4 (BR Class 40) diesel-electric loco body and it's wheel bogie.

Please note that each liveries have their own yellow wheel bearing variants on the bogie.

For this GMod version, I intended to make this as an assemble-yourself to make it into a simple drivable train.
Please watch the following YouTube instructions on how to make one when you have loaded the body and bogies.

Can you make Union Pacific 844 from the Thomas and Friend (Shining Time Station)

As a member of Train Of Thought's channel and discord, thank you for including the video on the great train robbery. He poured his heart out into making that film and it sucks it doesn't have a higher viewcount

"Not bad, I've seen worse. At least you're all clean. It's not your fault that your controller should scrap you and get engines like me. A fill of oil, a touch on the starter and I'm off. No bother, no waiting. They have to fuss around you for hours before you're ready."

@j4n3g :

I think I know somewhere there you type something in the console where you can reveal the collision model outline on the wheels.

Another option is that use your Physical Properties tool to make the wheels into Super Ice material, which will make the wheels slide. Then place the wheels on the concrete at the tramway tracks (rails with paved road) , move the wheels until it slide towards the rails where they will fall and fit in

Do you have any tips on how to align the train with the tracks in SFM? :train2:

@equestriaguy637

If you see little cross markings under the engine, this is where you attach the wheels using Precision tool

And then follow the instructions here on how to assemble and make a drivable train:

Is there an easier way to attach the wheels to the loco?
