There's mods that add 3rd rail now! perhaps make an actual electric version to accommodate this?

UPDATE: Small adjustment to the gloss textures.

Quick update to fix some busted mesh and texture map issues, particularly on the kitchen and bar coaches. I've also widened the body of all variants by about 5% - you probably won't notice it, but it means their width profile fits in more neatly with several other coach mods.

Hello, can I used them to do a reskin ? I'm looking for passenger coaches looking similar to those in Thomas & Friends (especially the Green/Red Express, Special Express and Connor & Caitlin coaches) and yours are the only ones that got a similar base. I just need to reskin them to make them match the series.

Great to see these beautiful coaches getting even more updates. Thumbs up Gr1m, thank you so much for sharing your excellent work with the community.

im glad your still working on this Grim was worried it was left abandoned these are my favorite coaching stock for british loco's i have to admit sometimes i do get jealous lol but i could never do anhything like this as art has always been my achelles heel

UPDATE: Pretty large mesh edits, though the overall visual changes are pretty minimal - basically I cut the ends off all variants and rebuilt the end shapes to be more accurate, and adjusted the walkway connectors so that they now fit with most other connectors in that era - So this fits pretty well with JK's GWR carriages, PlaneSimple's MK1 carriages, as well as my A3/A4/P2 corridor tenders now.

Small update, hopefully to help accommodate some bigger updates in the near future. Updated the texture and gloss maps a little, and completely redid the roof textures and normals into something that looks a bit nicer. Also added new, better looking) walkway connectors.

any news on the devon belle observation coach?

Nope, nvm, I miosunderstood. Unfortunately thats a problem due to how I mapped the original carriages, and the only solution is to remap one side of them to new textures. Which I'm not against, but bleh, effort lol.

Leave it with me. I'm in lockdown atm so I've got time.

@Ghostboy5: I think thats due to the way the mod is set up to flip the models to create the reversed versions, but I'll have a look and see if I can do something about it.

Also, quick update, because the wheels weren't spinning. Its fixed now.

@Gr1m Sorry to be a pain, boss. Since release last year I've been exclusively using the older coaches and have only just tried the blue-era ones and noticed the BR "vector" logo is the wrong way around on one side of both the power and brake cars. Certainly not the end of the world given how glorious they look though!

I adore these coaches. Thanks for the update Grim.

Very nice. Thanks.

quick update with some new wheels, some minor changes to some of the trim, and the interiors are sliiiightly less awful. Also trimmed the filesize by removing redundant files.

So for some reason all of the passenger carriages had reversing set to true, so I've just pushed through a quick update to fix that.

That's a shame about the Devon Belle, I am super hyped for it though. I love the observation car!

UPDATE: Unfortunately I lost all progress on the Devon Belle observation car, so that's still a WIP. But I identified an issue with the headcode boxes and fixed them, And I've also tweaked the menu item for the 5-BEL so it appears in order in the 'engine' list, rather than being bumped up to the top as a railcar.

Nice job! Now we don't have to have get the spirit level out! lol

UPDATE: Added some extra placement functionality. (assets will now be able to be tilted using the o,p,[, and ] keys.

Very nice work like the dmu parts amazing work.

Lovely work, using several Belle sets, other passengers getting jealous

never mind i didnt see the updated bio XD at 7:30 am ive just woken up keep up the good work

ah cool cool and i didnt see that comment sorry i havent had the internet for a while......... lack of money but i love your stuff and ill deffo be waiting as then id have my model trainset in TpF2 as for patience well thats hard with your mods when i know your making them lol ;) but sure thing keep up the awesome......... you need to have a patreon or something as id deffo give 5 dollars/5 quid to support your work

@Bocaan I've aleeady said its planned, but these things don't happen overnight, lol. Be patient, it's coming! xP

Gr1m can i ask you add the observation pullman car please it would be awesome im loving this pack and if you need pictures of what it looks like im more than glad to link you them

Just had a look @ Gr1m. They are the 'bees knees'. Love them especially the 'blue' Pullman's!
Great job! Keep up the good work!

UPDATE: Added a First Class Bar carriage in both liveries in the aforementioned New Century or Trianon Bar styles. I haven't put any decals or names on it to keep it generic, but I think it works. Let me know what you think.

@afallentree: I could definitely look at doing a New Century Bar style carriage since its in the same style and generation of Pullman. I've no idea what the interior layout is like, though. Not that it has to be exact, of course. But yeah, some more research might be required first. It's definitely a solid suggestion though!

Will you also be adding the New Century Bar car to the line up?

Minor update, I've made some small tweaks and fixes. Nothing too noteworthy. I've also added some very basic functionality to the headcode boxes of the 5-BEL powered cars.

Very nice job @Gr1m. Love the blue Brighton Belle!.

UPDATE: BR Blue livery variants added for all currently available carriages and vehicles (available from 1947 onwards), with placeable assets rail assets for the BR Blue livery added as well - all placeable rail assets are under the one simple entry in the menu, and includes submenus to pick the vehicle or carriage variants and livery.

I've also made the BR Blue livery properly tintable, so yes you can recolour them.

Nah, had a rest yesterday, but still in the reskinning mood (also because there's nothing else to do rlly)

Hehe, it is more than perfect (I am a sucker for early electric vehicles pre-WW2)
Looking forward to those dozen ideas of yours too ;) (but dont stress yourself out, okay?)

Time to look for those fictional liveries and make a fictional livery pack {:>

Nice! Thank you!

UPDATE: Now includes a First Class and Kitchen First carriage. I've also made some minor mesh tweaks and texture fixes. Enjoy!

@olag.reninga: Yeah, this is it. It's probably not as wild or exciting as I probably built it up to be, but this is a lot of first for me - first EMU, first non-steam locomotive, first carriage with a modelled interior etc. etc. etc.

Also I've been banging my head against it since early feb, and there have been more than a few setbacks along the way, so....yeah it's been one hell of a project even getting this far, lol.

Also, I've just finished the first class carriage and gotten it working in game properly, but I haven't updated it yet, since I'm hoping to smash out the kitchen first tomorrow. If I don't get it done by then the I'll probably update the pack so you guys can use the first class carriage in the meantime.

@TornadoChaser101: I don't have TpF1 installed anymore. Sorry!

Amazing work as always. (the more I see, the more I'm getting jealous I don't know a thing about modelling)
Just wondering, but is this the special thing you hinted at in our previous discussion, or can we except something else?

The observation car would be amazing!

can you release this for transport fever 1

Beautiful EMU, love the sounds this one makes. One of my favorite ones to ride along and listen to. Thank you!

@boney1815: Placeable rail assets are already included :)

Hope you add this to assets as well would look good in a siding

@REXGOLD31: Ultimately, that top speed of those cars is there to provide long term flexibility, since these cars were used for a very long period of time. From a gameplay perspective, so long as they're fully loaded, even an engine with a top speed of ~60kph will be profitable pulling three carriages or more between towns on a vanilla map (possibly even two carriages, thoughtI haven't tested this). This is because the game adjusts fares based on the theoretical top speed of the trains servicing a route - so fast carriages pulled by a slow engine, for example, can still be profitable.

So tl;dr? Use whichever locomotive you like or seems fitting. :)

Gr1m Tell me, which locomotive do you recommend for your passenger railway car? After all at the beginning of the 20th century it had a speed of 210 km h

@s4r4hb3th: If I'm understanding your question correctly, the unpowered Pullman carriages don't have the electric sounds or third rail shoes. Only the 5-BEL powered units have those - the Pullman carriages have unpowered bogies without the third rail shoe, and use standard carriage sounds.

Really good.

You have justified the end date of 2100 because so many Pullmans are in preservation but can I suggest that electric sounds (and shoes) aren't appropriate for preservation or that end date?

@WarPyro: Yeah, BR Blue is definitely in the works, but I want to finish the first class and kitchen first class carriages first, since there's a decent chance they might need extra textures.

At this stage the plan of action is:
1) First class
2) Kitchen First
3) BR Blue livery
4) Devon Belle Observation Carriage

and there'll doubtless be a few small bugfixes or mesh tweaks in between. I've already identified like....four things that need fixing already, lol >.>
