BR Standard Classes 6, 7, 8, 8F & 9F

I swear this was supposed to be a small, quick, simple mod.

80 variants overall. So much for that. xP

Anyway, here's a modpack including all of the big BR Standards. I decided to do them as a single pack since they share a lot of assets, and the texture maps are the same and they use the same tenders etc.

Along with the Class 6, 7, 8, and 9F, I also included a semi-fictional '8F' 2-8-2, based on the Class 7 - a design which Robert Riddles had proposed before he eventually designed the 9F.

The Class 8 has animated Caprotti drive as well, as a fun little bonus. It's not as flashy as Walschaerts, but the camshafts spin. So that's fun.

Otherwise the usual bells and whistles are included. Colour tinting, aging, assets and so on.

Enjoy!



-BR Standards in 5 different models, 4 tender variants and 4 liveries.
-Liveries include BR Green, BR Blue, BR Lined Black and BR Unlined Black.
-Full aging and recolour support. Detailed dirt and rust accumulates as the engine ages.
-Engines are sorted in depot menus to reduce purchase menu clutter.
-Small file size and .dds compressed textures, to help with load speed.
-Lods to reduce GPU load.
-Placeable rail assets (also with lods) allowing placement of the engine in all variants, as well as pre-aged placeables.
-Moddable engine numbers - edit the number of the train and the number will display on the side of the locomotive.
-Head and tail lamps change depending on direction.
-New! Auxilary canteen tender (Similar to Flying Scotland's second tender) - no capacity, but I made for my own use so I've included it here as well.


Some of my mods have a few custom labels that are used, and I'll try to explain them here.

In the train name, the first set of numbers will display as the vehicle number on the locomotive. Unfortunately due to technical restrictions, all locomotives will share the same number.

-Use [] parenthesis to display the TRAIN NAME (ie naming the train 'Train 1 [BRIGHTON BELLE]' will show the text 'BRIGHTON BELLE' on the name boards on coaches - ie the roof boards of Pullman coaches.

-Use {} parenthesis to display the LOCOMOTIVE NAME - ie on the HR Clan class, naming the train 'Train 1 {Clan Campbell} will show the name Clan Campbell on the locomotive.

-So for example, on a Pullman train headed by a HR Clan class, you can name the train '49 {Clan Campbell} [Scottish Belle]' then the locomotive would display number 49 and Clan Campbell as the locomotive name, while the Pullman coach boards will display Scottish Belle. Make sense?

-The headboards on some DMU and EMUs will show the route or line number. So if you label the route 'line 14' ,then 14 will show on the headcode box.
