G538/G530 G Class - Skeletals (16)

Description
Today none of the G class locomotives in service use their original livery - the fleet was sold off to various logistics companies after the freight division of V/Line was privatised. This recreation presents both G530 and G538 in their present liveries. G538 was operated by Freight Australia, was later purchased by Pacific National, but retains the defunct company's livery.

The locomotives pull a train of 16 skeletal wagons (based on the VQFX wagon) carrying ISO shipping containers in 40' and 20' varieties, liquid tankers, as well as metal coils. These use the Trailer Variation Loader mod to reflect the cargo of the train. It also auto-reverses the locomotive in the direction of travel.

Rather than stick with the "goods" and "materials" distinction I've just referred directly to the kind of wagon they pull. These are the same wagons from my earlier G class trains, shuffled in a different order.

Thanks to Koku - these liveries were a bonus on the G class items that I was keen to make, but you'd have none of them at all without his commission!

G538 (Pacific National)
9,915 / 274 tris
1024x1024 / 64x64 textures

VQFX (base wagon)
3,730 / 166 tris
1024x2048 / 256x128 textures
(Basically all the cargo shares the identical LOD set across every texture type - hopefully this means they should share materials and conserve space in the LOD atlas per LSM)

Please read the description and the required items section.

unfortunately this is not a bug in the asset, so it's not something I can fix - it is following the same AI as every other train, but if the train is too long for a station it's tail will hang out of the station track area, if it doesn't despawn it will try to leave and if there are other trains waiting this can cause pathing issues. I recommend looking in to how to make extra-long cargo stations.

I like this series of trains very much, but this train has a BUG, is in the railway station will turn around, easy to cause traffic jams, you can modify it?

thank you! I have no plans for the D set at the moment. Not a big fan of it, plus focusing on buildings for a while.

This looks great! Do you plan to make a model of the new NIF D set intercity trains coming into service soon? They're in testing right now across Sydney.
