V/Line N Class Train (6-Car) (No Power Van)

Description
The V/Line N Class diesel railcar built by Clyde Engineering in the mid 1980s. This version has the Passenger Series 2 livery which was first seen on the N Class beginning in 2000. This N Class train is coupled with 6 N Set carriages introduced between 1981 and 1984. The PH Power Van (available in other sets) are converted D cars from the 1980s.

This particular set has 1 First-Class Carriage, 1 Buffet Carriage and 4 Economy Carriages.

These are highly detailed models, but are comparable to the tri count of other trains released in 2020. All saloon cars share the same texture, so use the Loading Screen Mod to save on memory.

Special thanks to @KokuTheHuman (Twitter) for sponsoring this N Class Train!

Other thanks to GiometryE, REV0, Robert, Pewex, Tim the Terrible, and Delta2 k5 for helpful suggestions and inspiration.

@tarzan, That's the plan after I finish the next project and if I don't have another commission up before. The comeng and Siemens are on my to do list. Not sure where exactly they are on my priorities, but will depend on whether I'm still motivated on working on trains when done with the Harris train (current project). There's a version of the comeng on now by another author.

Could you do a comeng and siemens

@Trancescender, Thanks!

@Mystik, I've set it up using submeshes, so the invisible trailer will appear as the engine when it is in reverse and the lead engine will disappear. That allows the opportunity to not have a engine always at the rear which doesn't occur normally.

@Kpen97, thanks! I took a look at it when finishing this and looked a bit like too much work for the moment, but agree that is something I'd like to do.

Like the details, however when using AVO, not sure why but there's always an invisible trailer..
