Overview
With this guide you can use the Class 66 on the route Ruhr-Sieg-Nord for some shunting fun.
Near Plettenberg is a little yard that can be made accessible with a mod.

Requirements
To make this mod work you need the following TSW DLCs:

- Train Sim World (Base Game)
- Great Western Express (GWE)
- Ruhr-Sieg-Nord (RSN)

This two mods you need to download:

- Class 66 on RSN mod: http://www.trainsim.cz/?mod=article&showid=2285
- Class 66 Freightliner repaint with kmh speedometer: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UwyRK_56Z2Fn16zNIHXLf4Ked8B_HnBH

Installation
After you have downloaded the two mod files you need to unzip them, now you should have the two following .pak files:

-TS2Prototype-Class66_HKA_RSN.pak
-TS2Prototype-Class66-Freightliner-DE.pak

Copy the two .pak files in the TSW DLC folder:

.. / Steam / steamapp / common / Train Sim World / WindowsNoEditor / TS2prototype / Content / DLC /

If you want to remove the mods you only need to delete the two .pak files.
How to get to the yard at Plettenberg
After you installed the two mod files start your TSW and select the RSN route. You should now see the Class 66 in the loco selection screen with one service available.
It is the freight exchange service where you drop of some wagons at Plettenberg and continue to Hagen.
.
.
At the beginning make sure you set the parking brake to OFF and if the train wont move you may have to use the brake overcharge button the release some stuck brakes.
.
.
Follow the instructions and drive to Plettenberg where you have to stop the train and back up the train into a siding.
.
.
Go to the stopping point and from here you can access the little yard with setting the manual switches on the tracks.
.
.
If you want to shunt the wagons into the yard you have to use the tracks where you can go around the wagons. After you switched ends with the loco you can park the wagons on the yard tracks.
Dont take to many wagons at once so you still can go around them.
.
.
A successfully shunted yard could look like this:
Outro
I hope you liked that shunting! Sadly its so far the only possibility to do yard shuntings on german routes until DTG releases a german diesel shunter and shunting services.

Big thanks to Muff who made it possible to use the Class 66 on this route!

How did you get all those liveries? I especially want the Norfolk southern livery for the AC4400CW.

Another great scenario, nighthawk. Looking forward to more ...

Just read the readme.txt included in the repaints. The repaints don´t overwrite any files, for uninstall just delete the pak-file of the repaint, no need to backup TSW files.

Thanks for that information, Nickhawk. Am I correct in thinking that to be able to restore the original skins, I should save their PAK files in a separate folder before overwriting them?

Right now the repaints will replace the existing ones, with an official TSW editor there will be seperate liveries.

I've yet to apply a mod file in TSW and these look well worth trying. Does a livery mod replace the original livery or exist alongside of it?
