British Rail 8F/9F Dual-Exhaust Addon

Description
British Rail Standards
Class 8F/9F Dual-Exhaust Addon

This is just a small addon to my BR Standards mod that add dual-exhaust variants to the semi-fictional '8F' 2-8-2 and 9F 2-10-0. This is a purely cosmetic addon that I didn't feel quite belonged in the 'core' pack. Since they're a bit difficult to visually differentiate (as opposed to, for example, the tender variants), I seperated them into different group menus in the depot build menu.

There are no placeable asset variants for this mod. Its a lot of work to set them up, and given there already exists the single-exhaust versions, I figure that's more than enough. >.>

Labels!

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.

Like my mods?

Small update, but I've added locomotive name labels to all variants (see the mod description above for more information on how to use them), and renamed the 8F to a slightly more accurate 8MT. Enjoy!

Suggestion for your next project for this game; the GCR 8K's. It would bring some nice 2-8-0 power to the game that I'm surprised nobody has tackled yet

AH, it'll be nice to use the double Kylchap exhaust system
