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 do not have the ats installer so ive been trying to install it manually but it will not copy the files
for some reason its not installing and i have all the neccesary requirements
same
Hi ive installled everything but when i load in a qucik drive scenarios it shows the cab but i cant the the train on the outside ANY HELP thx.
If you or anyone else is still having issues, you need to make sure you run the batch file (assuming you have all the requirements – the MTU and VP185). I just installed by coping everything over and running the batch file and it was fine.
hey alan, do you need all the requirements or just have 1?
You need All the requirements for it to run correctly.
Help; I’ve been trying to install but I’m encountering problems installing via the ATS installer, and i cant seem to do it via the manual install method. any ideas?
never mind (I’ve been an idiot)
Hi, this pack has worked great for me so far but I’m not able to add any of the AP HST trains into any new scenarios other than on The East Coast Mainline Merge route. I’ve ticked all the boxes I can reasonably think and the trains will show up in the selection menu after ticking the AP enhancement packs, I’m just not able to place them on the track. Already read through the AP manual and that hasn’t helped. I’m probably just overlooking it but can you tell me what other boxes I need to tick and what file/creator name they will be under in the scenario editor?
Have you tried selecting the Kuju folder?
I downloaded the updated one and every time I go back onto the game its not showing any of the EMR HSTS, 43238 and 299 and I downloaded it so many times and nothings changed in the pack
You’re downloading this and it’s not showing the EMR Power Cars? Might be because they aren’t included. As stated on the page for 238 and 299, they’re now in this pack. Try this link https://alanthomsonsim.com/?download=ex-lner-east-midlands-railway-hsts
I did that and all its showing is
High Speed Train – Ex-LNER (EMR)
The PreLoad consist? There’s literally only one PreLoad included, as stated in the included manual. It also states the names of the others for you to find them in the loco list.
The Link for the AP pack for NL65 Should read AP Class 43 VP185 Enhancement pack, not MTU.
Amended, not sure how that had slipped through the net, thank you.
uhm iv done the exe installer and gone in the pack to take the assets and paste them into railworks but uhm. there are no assets in the folder and i didnt delete them it opened like that.
I’ll be honest I don’t know my way around .exe files. Can I suggest you try the manual installation please? It’s certainly not a daunting task.
cant Load the HST train set in the editor after i installed this
NL65 does not work for me. The MK3’s are fine, but the PC’s are somehow broken. Both of them don’t have EMT branding, show all the nameplates and they clag more than a Valenta! I own all three AP Class 43 EP’s so no idea what is wrong.

I really love this pack, the liveries are very high quality, and since I am a big fan of the ECML I do drive these quite a lot. However, the special variant (NL65) appears to be broken, attempting to load a QD using any of its variants sends me back to the menu with the message “Failed to load quick drive scenario” showing up. All other versions work like they should. Any idea what might be the issue?
Off the top of my head I can only assume it’s to do with the VP185 Power Cars (061 and 075) that traditionally have run with NL65. Do you own the VP185EP from Armstrong Powerhouse?
If not, you can run NL65 by placing down the individual vehicles from the set (all coaches minus Coach G) and numbering them with the correct numbers. 40805 is the TRFB.
Ah, that explains everything! I don’t have the VP185 pack… Thanks for the quick reply.
Is there supposed to be a 1A55 0910 Edinburgh-Aberdeen (Sun) window label and a 1E17 0940 Inverness-London Kings Cross (Sun) window label in this pack as they aren’t listed in the PDF?
They aren’t as I wasn’t aware these differing services existed. Once an update comes out for this pack, they will be included.
Whenever I try to drive one of these the train doesn’t even move. Is this meant to happen or is it a bug?
Have you turned the DRA off?
DRA?
Driver’s Reminder Appliance. Little red light on the top of the dash. Press Y and it should turn off.
Yup. That’s fixed it. Thanks.
This is perfect for the York to Peterborough route and I will be using this in a scenario pack that I am going to make. Thank you for making and sharing this vital add-on that is much needed.
