The old TF.net Battle of Britain class loco had this reverse camera after porting it to TpF and I managed to solve that by adding a "dummy" driver line into the loco mdl.

For this lovely Class 76 though, obviously it already has one, but by changing the transportVehicle SEATS group in the .mdl from Group =3 to Group =4 it makes the camera face forwards...ever so slightly high and sadly at the loss of the visible driver, but it does work. Obviously not ideal for those that love to see the driver in his cab as CW intended.

Regardless, thank you for your hard work CW, I love the content you and your peers produce for the community.

Thank you so much, I never expected to see an old Woodhead loco rocking around in TpF, but now I can...absolutely awesome!

As to other posts about the in-cab camera, well I'm no modeller, but I do occasionally tinker with .mdls and this subject appears to be a minefield. From what I've read about on various TpF forums in the past it seems to be a quirkiness with the "group" assignments in relation to the driver details in the loco .mdl. Some consensus suggests it prefers Group 1, but that requires the entire mod to follow suit, which is probably not a simple thing.

ive played 10 hours with this engine on my map and got to say thank you they look fantastic and a very welcome change seeing something different cheers for your efforts

@mt120784 I have a few models in the works. and thanks, thats why I do it.

A great looking mod to end with. Looking forward to seeing your work in the next game too! Thanks for all the effort you put in, having so many high quality British train mods made the game a lot more enjoyable for me

@TheBackYard, NS bought EM2s, which were the bigger Co-Co brothers to the EM1s, a conversion will happen eventually

I've wanted these in game for a long time now...
This is immediately going into my next Playthrough.
Thank you..!

will you make the NS(dutch railways) version? after these loco's retired they were send overseas to us.

oh cool

@power man my next mod will be the class 800

if you wanted a similar front end shape for a loco, try the class 70 or any other of Oliver Bulleid's locos, he did diesel as well

just as suggestions, thanks for your wonderful mods!

@cszolee79 it seems steam did not replace the mdl when I updated on Tuesday. Im pretty sure I changed it to 969kW, nevertheless I will do it again. And thanks! glad you enjoy. 3300hp would only be used for around 20 minutes at 27.5mph, otherwise the electrical components would wind up overheating.

cw_315 love the mod, but every material says the same as wikipedia:
https://www.lner.info/locos/Electric/em1.php - I guess they should know, being the LNER page.
Total Power: 1hr rating: 1,868 hp
Continuous: 1,360 hp
Tractive Effort: (starting) 45,000 lb

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_76
Performance figures
Maximum speed 65 mph (105 km/h)
Power output Continuous: 1,300 hp (969 kW)
One-hour: 1,868 hp (1,393 kW)
Tractive effort 45,000 lbf (200 kN)
Brakeforce 72 long tons-force (717 kN)

It might be viable to set power to 1868 hp, like some other mods to with continuous/1h power ratings.
Your diagrams might be like the old "PMPO 1000W" on old plastic 3W speakers :)
And don't take it as critism. The model is very nice.
I've already fixed it for my use :)

ahh, thanks, wasn't criticising by the way, just became confused when i saw autocoach's response because i thought he was talking about the game

my bad anyway don't worry about the camera until TPF2

@power man @Autocoach on review of my diagrams it seems the 3300hp is the max power output. This would typically only be used for a short time as the traction motors would overheat, 1300hp is the sustained output for prolonged periods of time.

with what autocoach is saying about horsepower, it sounds like a miss typed value

Thanks for this and all your upcoming mods

@Weebish Gunner no, I'll let someone remodel that as it is nowhere near tpf2 standards

Oh yeah you did the skins for it, my bad. I'm guessing the HST 125 will be updated then, now that everyone knows how to make things reversible.

@Weebish Gunner, the 142 is not mine, it is Yung Lenin's and I believe he has considered it, I am looking to convert it into a class 143/4. I am visiting my old stuff already for tpf2

Wait will you be reworking the 142 for TPF2? That'd be incredible if you revisited your older stuff. You're easily one of the best modders for TPF1 and I hope that continues in 2.

That is what I thought, but could still not find a way of fixing it. @autocoach

With regard to the camera , I am not a modder but all I can see is the driver is set at 180 degrees but correctly sits forward - suggests the whole thing is going backwards. Maybe working out a single camera position for forward looking might work .

As far as the power is concerned , all I can see is 1300hp not 3300hp - which is obviously a big difference.

Yeah boooooiiiiii

This is good, we needed more electric british trains

@Autocoach I took the stats straight of the datasheet attached to the diagrams, however these measurements were in imperial so something could have happened during the conversion. As for the camera, I really dont know how to fix this, I tried everything including changing the bounding box etc. no luck, sorry about this.

A couple of things , the power rating appears to be miles higher than it was in real life - is there a thought behind this . Also the camera appears to look backwards.

Thanks so much for this! I've recently started a play through where I'm semi-recreating railways around Liverpool (Liverpool&Manchester Railway) and I've been meaning to do a fictional extension of the Woodhead Line from Manchester to River Mersey with 1.5kV DC electrification. This is (quite obviously) the perfect loco to run for that.

amazing ^^

*Woodhead intensifies*

Beautiful work cw.

Nice
