Each 'generation' of coach will have consistant noise ,pollution levels, loading speed and top speed, while each coach body type will have unique capacity and comfort. You'll notice that some special coaches, such as the kitchen, bar and observation coach will have very low capacities - this is intended, as they have very high comfort levels and will boost the comfort of your entire train, and Brake End and Baggage coaches have improved brakes which will improve the stopping speed of your trains, allowing them to run at speed longer on your routes. This is to encourage you to mix up your consists and make the most of the pack.

The 'Third Rail' 5-BEL EMUs are treated as diesel engines for gameplay purposes - this is to allow them to run on tracks without catenary. If a third rail mod becomes a thing and there is eventually an alternative way to do this that is settled on by other modders then I'll update the mod accordingly.

Also note that the group menus are a bit disorderly at the moment on the default view - to sort all coaches according to livery it is recommended you select your build menu to sortby name in the drop down menu on the upper right corner.

Features

-64 Pullman coaches across 8 liveries and 8 body types. Each coach has been balanced to match its role ie third class coaches have lower comfort, higher capacity.

-Powered SR 5-BEL EMU in 3 liveries, including 3 pre-assembled consists.-Liveries include Pullman Umber, LNER Brown, an Orient Express-inspired livery, LMS red, and BR Blue. Several of these liveries are available with white and black roofs.

-Full aging and recolour support. Detailed dirt and rust accumulates as the engine ages.

-Coaches and powered multiple units are sorted in depot menus to reduce purchase menu clutter.

-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.

Labels

Some of my mods have a few custom labels that are used, and I'll try to explain them here.

In the train name, the first set of numbers will display as the vehicle number on the locomotive. Unfortunately due to technical restrictions, all locomotives will share the same number.

-Use [] parenthesis to display the TRAIN NAME (ie naming the train 'Train 1 [BRIGHTON BELLE]' will show the text 'BRIGHTON BELLE' on the name boards on coaches - ie the roof boards of Pullman coaches.

-Use {} parenthesis to display the LOCOMOTIVE NAME - ie on the HR Clan class, naming the train 'Train 1 {Clan Campbell} will show the name Clan Campbell on the locomotive.

-So for example, on a Pullman train headed by a HR Clan class, you can name the train '49 {Clan Campbell} [Scottish Belle]' then the locomotive would display number 49 and Clan Campbell as the locomotive name, while the Pullman coach boards will display Scottish Belle. Make sense?

-The headboards on some DMU and EMUs will show the route or line number. So if you label the route 'line 14' ,then 14 will show on the headcode box.
