Motorail load variation modification

This pack provides a set of replacement blueprints for the Motorail Loaded vehicles that came with the AP/BMG Class 50. It standardises the positioning of the car loads numbered 1 to 4 as child objects.

These all refer to a new script which permits the addition of a small charcater set to the number string - ;Car=xxxx where x=0 means no car loaded and x=1 means a car is loaded. Where no extra string exists it defaults to the default DLC state of all 4 cars being displayed.

Mark 2f RLO Inter City Swallow
This is a reskin of the AP MK2f RLO vehicle into Intercity Swallow livery, which they carried up to privatisation. It also includes a passenger view.

The Mark 2f Restaurant Lounge Opens were conversions of existing Mark 2f First Open vehicles to a lounge car with loose seating and a catering area. Introduced by British Rail in the 1980s to act as a means for sleeper passengers to have a place to relax, something akin to a hotel lounge/reception area and with the facility to serve snacks and light refreshments in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Later vehicles had bars added.

In total nine were converted and following privatisation they saw use with ScotRail who carried out further modifications to the interiors to include sofas.

The first 2 conversions 6700 and 6701 were authorised in December 1986 and entered service on the Night Scotsman in May and July 1987.

Cars 6703-6709 were built to a slightly modified design including a bar counter.

BR originally designated them as Restaurant Lounge Buffets, but this was later changed to RLO.

They were initially allocated to Wembley (Scottish sleeper traffic ceased to use the ECML from 1988) apart from 2 allocated to Craigentinny. Allocations to Polmadie, Wembley (again) and Inverness followed and they were used on the Night Scotsman (Edinburgh-Euston), Night Aberdonian (Aberdeen-Euston), Royal Highlander (Inverness-Euston) and Night Caledonian (Glasgow-Euston)

Plans to convert more RLOs were cancelled as BR decided to create more Mk 2f RFBs (Buffet First Open) as these offered the versatilty of all day use, but the RLO formed the basis of the RFB conversions for day stock in the 12XX series, which retained conventional seating.

The 69XX series were, as far as we can ascertain, all outshopped in Intercity Swallow livery, which was launched in May 1987. Although first class vehicles, they did not carry a yellow stripe or first class markings.

They were superceded on certain sleeper services by conversions of 6 Mk2e FO vehicles to FO(T) (35XX) including provision for a catering trolley and micro buffet. These were used on the Night Riviera and the Glasgow - Plymouth sleeper services, the latter transferring to the Fort William service in 1993.

Scottish Region ETHELs
When British Rail London Midland Region started using Mark3 sleepers on their services, it included those inter-regional workings that crossed into the Scottish Region (ScR).

This was not an issue until the services began to traverse routes that were neither served by OHLE or could accommodate Class 47s with electric train heating due to RA restrictions.

This concerned the Fort William sleeper, which in the early 1980's was in the hands of Eastfield's steam heat equipped Class 37's.

Initially, BR considered the deployment of the now spare Class 27/2’s from the Edinburgh – Glasgow but in they were in a poor state after heavy usage and in the end the idea was abandoned as they simply were not up to the task in hand.

Eventually, it was decided to have a batch of Class 37's equipped with electric train heating equipment. However, Rome wasn’t built in a day and ETH equipment could not be slung on a Syphon overnight!

The short term work around was to convert a number of redundant Class 25's to operate as mobile ETH sources, relatively intact as a locomotive but unable to move under its own power. They were called ETHELs (Electric Train Heating Ex-Locomotives).

Once the ETH equipped Class 37s (designated 37/4s) started to be released from Crewe Works for the ScR, the fate of the ETHEL was sealed and once sufficient 37/4s became available their use was discontinued.
But it wasn’t the end as they saw use on steam hauled heritage tours but eventually a Mark 1 BSK was converted to a generator vehicle. With further use considered by the Inter City sector in 1991 on overnight sleeper services with no-heat Class 37s but this did not materialise and heater vans were used instead.

The ETHELs ended up at Millburn Yard, Inverness but in the following year, their final fate looked sealed. With no use for them they began to meet the cutters torch and this unique and innovative use of the former Sulzer Type 2’s was not to be resurrected.

Vulcan Productions have recreated the ETHEL for Train Simulator Classic using the existing Class 25 in the DTG BR Blue Pack 01. Scenario creators can vary the variant using a number of editor based script inputs including authentic vehicle number display for 97250, placement of window mesh on the IC variants (used to protect windows from falling coal on steam tenders) and an ability to enable the engine audio to simulate the ETH capability being utilised your train.

Motorail GUVs

Some high resolution markings have been applied along with tail lamps and AP Mark 1 run sounds.

The base of the model works around the AP Mk1 pack to allow the user to select which bogie type they want displayed in exactly the same way as the default AP Mk1 carriages. 3 different letter codes for the vehicles have been provided - these are chosen by adding ;Type=x to the running number where x shall be one of the following - NKV, NXA or NXX.
