Pack BB Alsthom

Pack BB Alsthom

Hi,
Here is an conversion from TPF1 for my BB Asthom pack. BB Alsthom family which is composed by 5 different series : BB 16500 (designed for 25 kV AC 50 Hz), BB 25500 (an upgrade version for 25kV AC and 1.5kV CC), BB 8500 (same as BB 25500 but only for 1.5 kV), BB 17000 (same as BB 25500 but only for 25kV AC) and BB 20200 (same as the three before but able to use 25kV AC and 15kV AC 16 Hz 2/3). The BB 16500 is not in this pack but the four others, yes.
BB Alsthom aren’t the best performing locomotives, but they are very tough and they are multipurpose because they share a common characteristic. To begin they have two gearing that can be switched from one to the other by the train driver when the locomotive is stopped which change the max speed at 140 or 90 km/h. In addition, they can be run in multiple unit (2max) and can be used in reversibility (I don’t if this the right word in English but I mean you can command them by a car with a driving cab while the locomotive is at the end of the train). A lot of SNCF’s train drivers dislike them because they have a big lack of stability, which is their biggest default. For that reason, drivers nicnammed them “les danseuses” (dancers in english). They are even a few drivers who drive them too often and develop serious back health problem and are forbidden to drive them by medical order.

For more variety, i mix the lievery and the gear. You have 14 locomotives. All that are in passenger gear (140 km/h) are reversible. They all have a cab and if you switch with page up and page down you have three different view per side. One exterior like normal and two cab view (but sometimes you can see strange things form cab view. I can’t do something about that, it is caused by how the game work on transparency). I also put 8 fake locomotives in this mod.

Furthermore, I hope you will like them.
Have a good game.
