Transport Fever 2 - Brighton Belle & British Pullmans

Southern Railway 5-BEL ‘Brighton Belle’ and British Pullmans

This mod pack features the Southern Railway’s 5-BEL unit, with matching British Pullman carriages with which you can create the full 5-BEL Brighton Belle set.

The 5-BEL is a third rail electric unit, which doesn’t exist in the game – however, in order to mimic the behaviour of a third rail electric, the game files recognise it as a diesel, just with electric sound files. I’ve also made sure that the contact shoes on the bogies fit correctly with Agohonoh’s UK Third Rail tracks.

I’ve also thrown in a brake third variant (in both directions) of the Pullman carriage, so you can use the Pullmans in other forms.

The full list of variants is as follows:
SR 5-Bel powered car (both directions)
British Pullman First Class Carriage
British Pullman Third Class Carriage
British Pullman Brake Third (both directions)
British Pullman Kitchen First
British Pullman First Class Bar

Comes with all the standard bells and whistles – aging, tinting, placeable assets and so on. (Just a quick note on the tinting, but if you can’t notice it at first, its because the curtains inside the carriages are what gets recoloured. I preferred this over recolouring the carriages themselves, as I felt it kind of contradicted the fact that British Pullmans had a standard livery regardless of what railway they operated on.)

Also note that the 2100 withdrawal date is due to the fact that a lot of Pullmans are still in service as a part of heritage trains and the like, and the 5-BEL is about to undergo testing. I’ve also bumped the maximum speed of the Pullman carriages up so that you can use it with all kinds of trains – even a maxed out Mallard A4 – without being limited if you so desire.

I’m still not wholly finished with this, so I’m hoping to add the observation car from the Devon Belle. Also planned is a BR blue reskin, so I’ll be adding to this frequently!
