V set - 8 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, 6 car, and 8 car sets. I've already published the 4 and 6 car sets, which will fit on vanilla stations.

The 8 car set is around 188m long. It consists of two 4 sets (lights disabled on the inner pair of engines)

This is not a line-coloured set, and I won't be making one. However, keep an eye out for older liveries!

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 only 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)

@Lordwarblade Actually more and more train assets on workshop are designed for 168m stations (which are more realistic) instead of the vanilla 120 stations. Also many recently released high-quality station assets are also 168m. It seems to be a trend in modder's community and I would suggest you switch to 168m asset family instead of using 'extension platforms'

Can you do the 2 car V set as well?

Train too long for the platforms? That's realism. Happens in Sydney regional stations all the time.

Having said that, perhaps we need somebody to make an "extended platform" add-on that we can plop adjoining our "inner city" stations, just for appearances sake.

I'd still like to see the red rattler, perhaps with some sliding doors open or ajar. Schoolkids legs dangling out through the door not obligatory. (I'm sure that wasn't really seen as frequently as my addled brain tries to tell me.) :steamhappy:

As a Sydneysider I'm loving your creations.
