@kim.b.ormond - I've uploaded an image of 'Oystermouth' to this mod for you to see. There are limitations imposed by the original texture mapping of Celmi's mod, and these are things I cannot overcome entirely. These are the positioning of the logo/nameplate and, more significantly, the red buffer beam.

The entire undercarriage area is mapped to the same small rectangular black texture and so I cannot isolate the buffer beam section to place it in the correct colour. Whilst this is unfortunate, I hope the rest of the model is reasonable for you.

Thanks for your comment - I'll do some research over the next couple of weeks and see if it's possible to make a decent version of 'Oystermouth' for you.

Would love to see my personal favourite 56040 "Oystermouth" in Railfreight livery next! Great work, keep it up!

no worries thanks

@Audiofreak - This isn't my mod, so you need to ask the original creator, Celmi.

Can i skin this please

Excellent reference picture - thank you. I'm about an hour away from Peterborough as it happens. Will use that image for reference as it's almost flat on. Those window frames are aluminium, stainless steel? And the same around the grilles? That bit may get, ahem, forgotten!

This picture shows the exact loco at Peterborough - the data panel is just to the side of the number

Thanks for the info about the number/grills location - I'll have a play with that as well and see if it looks OK. As well as the large numbers does it still have the white info box and if so, where should it go?

Quince that looks much better with the black windows. The reason the logo wouldn’t have looked right and would have run into the grills is because the number was usually located below the grills and the logo at the other end.

Have a look at this - this is how I remember them - showing my age now🤣🤣

i Love this livery nothing wrong with br stuff just gives us more choice. :)

@chrisdormer - Thanks for the info, very much appreciated as my railway knowledge is generalised rather than specialised. I realised yesterday that the cab window frames should be black. Will look at that and see if I can implement that and still have it look decent. My graphics skills are usually questionable and I like things with straight lines!

I saw one model of 56098 and that had the logo right at the back end so used that:

and this one:

With the logo that far back, it ran straight into the grilles on the opposite side, as in the in-game screenshot above. Therefore, I shunted it forwards a bit. In terms of compromise, I'll probably centre it in the bodyside panel texture element.

If I can get the window frames and logo shifted I'll try to update over weekend.

Quince - good to see more BR locos - minke details you might consider - the original large logo 56’s had black cab window surrounds and the BR logo is further towards the cab

Thanks Celmi - it's all basically your work - I just recoloured a few bits! :-)

Nice work!

next year im making the class 71 and 21 and 29

@Quince99 this year and next year will bring a lot into the game man the class 47 and 37 came out 6 or 5 years ago now its finally cool to see some action again

Thanks for that info - lot of colour schemes for the Warships but I'll sit that one out as other people are quicker and keener than I am!

oh btw way you two the next one coming out is the 42

I thought somebody would be doing more liveries sooner or later, just hadn't expected anyone to be undertaking it so soon after the launch of the 56. Saw my chance to get in with one that I could do fairly quickly. There seem to be a lot of people with far too much time on their hands. Needless to say I won't bother doing any more!

Just a heads up, WarPyro, is planning to do a pack with every 56 livery around, thanks for this though!
