Cursed Class 43 - Class 49, Class 80 & Class 256

Description
Edits of the HST to have double cabs, no cabs or electrification. Class 49 can be used as a mixed traffic locomotive, and the power car can be used either like APT-style mid-train power cars or as american style booster engines. I call dibs on multiple units having mid-train power cars as being 256's though lmao. Class 80 is just an experimental electric HST, similar to concepts before the Class 89.

What's Included?

1x cabless HST power car in Intercity Swallow
1x double cab HST locomotive in Intercity Swallow
2x Electric 25kv HST locomotive in InterCity Swallow, one named "EXPERIMENT 2"

The power car is available from 1987 as per the livery it carries, the electric locomotive in 1988, and the locomotive in 1993 when the Paxman VP185 went into production. They all run until 2001 when Swallow disappeared from the network. The locomotive is equipped with a VP185 as it has a much greater amount of power suitable for a single locomotive when compared to the Paxman Valenta that would require the tandem HST power cars. The 80 is based on concepts BR produced that eventually turned into the 89, and would originally have been property of Derby RTC per Jimbo's lore. His mod is available separately. It is called "EXPERIMENT 2" as a nod to Class 24 number 97201 named "EXPERIMENT".

These vehicles make use of the core modpack to include warning labels, 3d swallow plates and, in the case of the 49 and 80, number decals and updated HD horn grill.

As always, a huge thanks to the folks over in the Transport Fever 2 UK discord server for general help and inspiration! If you've not already joined, follow this link: https://discord.gg/XVYTAqh (needless to say, it doesn't work if you're banned)

I've also opened a Ko-Fi to manage commissions and such, but it also features a tipping system so if that's your kinda thing I highly appreciate it. You can find this here: https://ko-fi.com/thecenturion

Would you like something commissioned by a university-trained 3D artist? Be it reskins, nameplates, assets, silly edits like these or even whole new vehicles, feel free to contact me on discord or leave a comment below and I'll reach out.

The electric HST with its name wouldn't exist if not for Jimbo, give his mods some love

NEP2, sometimes some sunset preset mod, can't remember the name but the russians made it i think.

station i think is a combination of the great western station by isambard and a french roof

two questions about the screenshots:

1: what lighting settings/mods did you use?

2: what mod is the station in the 12th screenshot?

ah i see! that shouldn't be a problem, though i see no reason not to have both powercars with their pantograph up

as for the 370-esque idea, it is possible but we'll see where the inspiration takes me. the original 49 and 256 were more of a proof of concept that it's possible to do such silly things and whether or not they'd be popular.

I mean the cabless power units, will you be making an electric drive version, one with a pantograph so you could make a Class 43 version of the Class 370), and one that either doesn't have a panto or one that is folded down, to be used as an additional drive unit for heavy passenger/freight trains with the panto on the cab unit up

@Centurion Think they're referring to third rail AC power. Nonetheless, you cooked on this, as you always do, I'm elated with what you've provided already. Many thanks :FH5Accolade:

one with is included now, i've just not taken screenshots yet. i'm not sure the point of a electric HST without a pantograph?
Cdodders 24 Sep @ 5:22am 
Will you be making electric power cars, both with and without a panto?

no, it's fictional. the streamlining attempts to prevent friction with the air
