Cursed Class 43 - Class 49 & Class 256

Description
Edits of the HST to have double cabs or no cabs. Class 49 can be used as a mixed traffic locomotive, and the power car can be used either like APT-style mid-train power cars or as american style booster engines. I call dibs on multiple units having mid-train power cars as being 256's though lmao.

What's Included?

1x cabless HST power car in Intercity Swallow
1x double cab HST locomotive in Intercity Swallow

The power car is available from 1987 as per the livery it carries, and the locomotive in 1993 when the Paxman VP185 went into production. They both run until 2001 when Swallow disappeared from the network. The locomotive is equipped with a VP185 as it has a much greater amount of power suitable for a single locomotive when compared to the Paxman Valenta that would require the tandem HST power cars.

These vehicles make use of the core modpack to include warning labels, 3d swallow plates and, in the case of the locomotive, number decals and updated HD horn grill.

As always, a huge thanks to the folks over in the Transport Fever 2 UK discord server for general help and inspiration! If you've not already joined, follow this link: https://discord.gg/XVYTAqh (needless to say, it doesn't work if you're banned)

I've also opened a Ko-Fi to manage commissions and such, but it also features a tipping system so if that's your kinda thing I highly appreciate it. You can find this here: https://ko-fi.com/thecenturion

the headcannon there is like a diesel mk3 APT type deal, and i think they'd look great in RES!

I just realised that we could have some railfreight liveries of these! That'd be cool!

I now like to think that the class 49 is a versatile mixed traffic engine, and the power car is like a B-unit.
Like, the 49 could just pull freight, and start replacing some first gen diesels on freight. I can imagine that they were designed for express passenger work, but ended up also being just as capable for fast freight services.
I can't really make a headcannon for the 256 (which I am guessing is the b-unit thingy).
