V set - 4 cars (Sydney Trains)

Description
The V set trains serve as part of NSW's intercity fleet, linking Sydney with neighbouring regions and towns such as Newcastle, Lithgow, Wollongong, etc. These are deployed in 4 car and 8 car sets, but the carriages are 24m long, and I'm not sure if there are any 200m platforms on the workshop, so for now I am only publishing the 4 car.

This is not a line-coloured set, and I won't be making one. However, let me know if you'd like to see any of the older liveries and I may consider it!

I wanted this one to be as much of an improvement to the K set as the Waratah was to the Tangara. In particular the K set came out looking very clean, so I wanted to focus on giving the train cars the weathered, stained look of years of passing through mountain tunnels, killing a million bugs, and corroding from aircon runoff, and I found some neat ways to pack that look in without jumping up in overall resolution. I also took a big step with the pantograph detail, and the tri count is a fair bit bigger than previous trains.

Note: The Additive Shader mod is required if you want the blue light to light up, but it will work without it.

Details:
Motor carriage: 4.515 / 272 tris
Trailer carriage: 2,255 / 140 tris

All use the same texture (get the benefit of this using the Loading Screen mod! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails?id=667342976)

a) I'll need to wait for a good quality diagram I can use for scale reference to show up, and b) I think they look a bit dumb.
I'll do what I wanna do, but your suggestion is noted :)

No worries, I'll try to update the others as time permits. :)

I use this now all the time now thanks :) This is something that I cannot unsee and it stops me from using your other trains but your V set is available in so many configurations that it covers all my needs - Thanks for the great Aussie trains (and fixing the minor detail I cared about)!

I've republished the 4 and 8 car with a lowered pantograph. It clips into the wire but right on the mark :P

It does? Shit.. I thought I had it lined up.. have been using the same height for all my pantos. I will investigate this for future trains.

This is a beautiful train - I just wish the pantograph didn't clip through the overhead wiring.

Not sure why this is saying file size is 0mb.. is it busted?

Thanks! I will do a 6 and 8 set, and will make a go at some of the other liveries soon, just gotta find an evening when I'm not dying to play red dead :P
