BR Standard Classes 6, 7, 8, 8F & 9F

BR Standard Classes 6, 7, 8, 8F & 9F

I swear this was supposed to be a small, quick, simple mod.

80 variants overall. So much for that. xP

Anyway, here’s a mod pack including all the big BR Standards. I decided to do them as a single pack since they share a lot of assets, the texture maps are the same, and they use the same tenders, etc.

Along with Class 6, 7, 8, and 9F, I also included a semi-fictional ‘8F’ 2-8-2, based on Class 7 – a design that Robert Riddles had proposed before he eventually designed the 9F.

Class 8 has an animated Caprotti drive as well, as a fun little bonus. It’s not as flashy as Walschaerts, but the camshafts spin. So that’s fun.

Otherwise, the usual bells and whistles are included. Colour tinting, aging, assets, and so on.

Features:
– BR Standards in 5 different models, 4 tender variants, and 4 liveries.
– Liveries include BR Green, BR Blue, BR Lined Black, and BR Unlined Black.
– Full aging and recolour support. Detailed dirt and rust accumulate as the engine ages.
– Engines are sorted in depot menus to reduce purchase menu clutter.
– Small file size and .dds compressed textures, to help with load speed.
– Lods to reduce GPU load.
– Placeable rail assets (also with lods) allowing placement of the engine in all variants, as well as pre-aged placeables.
– Moddable engine numbers – edit the number of the train and the number will display on the side of the locomotive.
– Head and tail lamps change depending on direction.
