DC Rail Freight Class 56s | V2.1

Description

This pack first released back in May 2024 to finally fill in the missing gap of the DC Rail Freight Class 56’s 56091, 56103 & 56045.

As a celebration (even though its a few weeks late) for being a year old and being my favourite reskins I have made so far I decided to give it a little upgrade to make them more realistic and to open up the opportunities these reskins had and now have!

Requirements

Update Log

30th July 2025:
Added the literally an hour ago (as of writing) revealed BR Blue heritage livery applied to 56301, now renumbered 56045.

22nd May 2025:
Thanks to Ash992478, the Box Headlight on the 2023+ 56103 version is now an LED light rather than a bulb making the reskin more realistic!

Known Issues:
The 56045 Reskin is yet to have a version for people with a lower graphic setting enabled. This will be resolved at a later date.

56045 (56301) was given a older style horn grille during its repaint in July 2025. This has not been replicated due to the lack of me owning East Midlands Coal (which covered the Romanian Grids which has the correct grille). If I do get it in future I will look to swap over the reskin to that model and AP EP-ify it.
