VTEC & LNER HST Pack
16th January 2019After the VTEC & LNER IC225 pack, there was some natural progression just waiting to occur. That of course turned into the VTEC & LNER IC125 Pack! The BH Reskins & Superalbs pack was to us a thing of its time, so using our skillset we have endeavoured to give you the same features as the IC225 Pack, if not more.
A notable list of features include:
– High-Res HST reskins for both Virgin Trains East Coast and London North Eastern Railway
– Custom created decal textures for high accuracy
– Brand new Mk3 sides, modelled in order to accomodate the VTEC/LNER livery, something the Kuju mapping can’t.
– Accurate Mk3 variants, including differences between sets (such as EC64 and NL65)
– New 3D Horn Grille
– Automatic 3D Nameplates and/or 2D decals on to the relevant Power Cars
– Coach Letter Decals featuring Seat Numbers
– Window Destination Sheets, featuring all HST services.
– Ability to use the Destination Sheets from the IC225 Pack, for when HSTs cover IC225 services
– Automatic Flashing Tail Lamp (both Power Cars and Mk3s)
– Both VTEC and LNER PreLoads, listed under IC125.
Download, and enjoy!
Note: If you intend on installing via the ATS Installer, please download the MANUAL install file. Version 1.1 is ONLY available in MANUAL format.

Hi, I’m getting the following missing files. The titles show in the game selection but cannot be placed on the track. I do not have the following folder …\FGW_AP\, I have FGW and an AP folder separate and I’m not on Facebook. Tried both the exe and manual method.
Thanks.

Press any key to continue . . .
You appear to be running the batch file from the incorrect location. Please refer to the manual, and try the EXE installer.
I have the same problem and the trouble is that the file FGW_AP does not seem to exist on the Reskin file and all the subsequent GeoPcDx files cannot be found. both the exe and manual downloads have found to have the same problem even though some of the GeoPcDx files can be found inside the “Kuju\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\Default\Class43\class43.GeoPcDx” file location. I have followed the instructions as best as I can and attempted it multiple time using both methods of installation without success.
I’m having trouble getting these put down in the editor. I’m currently doing my first attempt at a scenario, basically just wanna do ECML london-peterborough but make it more populated with what few DLC I own, and I can put down the LNER 225s no problem but for some reason I can’t place down the 125s.
bump? did you manage to solve this pal? having the same issue
Some of the power cars are invisible for me.
When you run the batch file, does it show any errors, resulting in the non-copying of GeoPcDx files?
Yes
i have the requirements of this, they are the class 43 MTU enhancement pack and the european locos & assets pack, in my mind, i expected for this to have a VP185 engine, but nope, it uses the MTU engine, i don’t really like MTU engines that much since they don’t sound like the valenta and the VP185 engines from paxman, the valenta and the VP185 versions sound way cooler, the MTU engine, not so much, i would get this if the MTU class 43 trains from the MTU enhancement pack had either a valenta variant or a VP185 variant.
The last revenue earning services that used Valenta engines were in 2009/2010, which were Grand Central’s HST sets. VP185 engines only now remain in East Midlands Trains HSTs, except one ex GC set with the buffers which has MTU engines fitted. Sorry to say, but every TOC which still has HSTs (CrossCountry, LNER, GWR and the ex GC powercar with EMT) have MTU engines fitted. The only powercar with a Valenta left is the HST prototype powercar 41001. However it usually only runs on heritage railways and belongs to the 125group.
I seem to have a problem. The Power Cars are fine but all the mk3 coaches have strange blue stripes under them! Help!
I have all the variations on my game site but none will run all I get is cannot run this quick scenario
Many thanks Lewis.
Excellent work, muchly appreciated.
Where Can i get the link for this reskin
Really?
The destination sheets say missing texture for me when in game
Hi. I installed the pack but when I install it it says “This file is not specified” or something. Can you help?
Apologies for the sluggish response, I’ve only just seen your comment. Have you got it working or is it still causing problems?
Still not working mate.
Please contact me on Facebook via ‘Lewis Clowes’. I should hopefully be able to assist where you can provide screenshots.
Hi, I’ve tried installing this pack a few times now, both with the EXE installer and the manual version. I am able to open the batch file which does start installing the pack but at a certain point it reads:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Assets > Pause. Press any key to continue”. By pressing a key, the batch file closes and this repeats whenever I attempt to install the pack.
If anyone knows what is going on and how I can fix it, please let me know.
Thanks in advance
The pause command is at the very end of the batch, when it has copied over all the necessary GeoPcDx files. It’s there for you to be able to check whether these files have copied correctly or not. If it hasn’t, it will likely say “Cannot find the path specified” after each line. Have you checked in game to see if the pack has installed?
Everything seems to be working now. Thanks for your help. JB
Brilliant pack but has really got me scratching my head. It’s probably something to do with my setup but when I tested out in the Test track everything was fine using the scenario editor. However if I use the scenario editor to add the locos to any other route the loco side numbers are the wrong colour (white) and are in the wrong position (the default position which covers the spanner). No problems with the coaches. I’m pretty sure it’s down to the scripting and my setup but can’t understand why the numbers appear correct in Test track. Any ideas anybody?
Due to the script used for the numbers, they appear how they would for the default FGW livery that the model uses, when in the scenario editor. As I’m sure you can see, these are low resolution and have blue edges. Once finished in the scenario editor, play the scenario and you should see the script takes effect, giving you the correct font, colour and positioning.
This is no fault of your own.
Thanks very much for your quick reply. I only played a test scenario in the test track and not in any other route. I have done now and you’re absolutely right, the numbers appear as they should be. These are superb re-works of the MTU HST, many thanks for producing these.
Now I have re downloaded and it looks amazing!
Fingers crossed something like this can be done with the other HST TOC’s e.g. GWR/EMT 🙂
Good work Lewis as always!
can this pack only be used with 7-zip as it wont allow me to use WinRAR? TIA
I use 7zip, I see no reason for WinRAR not to work, but if it doesn’t, I’d suggest 7zip as for me it’s a lot better.
These look great, but could they possibly be made avaliable for the valenta enhancement pack as well?
It’s certainly a a possibility, but it isn’t likely I’ll do so. I hope you enjoy the pack with the correct MTU 16V4000 R41R engines.
