Airport Express Omnibus

To celebrate donoteat01's Franklin reappearing, I made a reskin of my Omnibus, based on a one-off joke early in the stream. Now your 19th century cities can have public transportation to the airport! (Requires Airports DLC)

This is by far the dumbest asset I've ever made, so I hope at least one of you find it amusing. Original description below:

----

The Horse-drawn omnibus was the first vehicle that we would consider a public bus - no prior booking was required, and passengers could request to be let on or off at any point. Apart from 1662-77, when a similar service was developed by Blaise Pascal in Paris, the first bus lines began in 1824 in Machester. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsebus for more details.)

This model is based off of George Shillibeer's first omnibus in London, although I made it slightly taller to make the proportions look a bit less odd. The horses themselves are from the horse-bay prop by niis-ku ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=531375563), who in turn got it from "the internet", with no source given.

Carries 20 passengers, all other stats are standard articulated bus stats.

Known Issues:
1. The horses are not animated. Not really feasible to get around this one, animated parts (besides wheels) aren't natively supported in Cities: Skylines.
2. The light cones aren't exactly connected to the actual headlamps. There seems to be a bug in Cities: Skylines where road vehicle trailers (where the headlamps are located) don't actually show their lights, despite having their locations set. So I put them on the horses and moved them back to line up with the trailer, but they'll float away during turns.If I made this all one vehicle it would work, but then you wouldn't get the trailer animation, so I chose to do it this way.
