Merchant Navy 35018 'British India Line' - Reskin

Description

This reskin represents Merchant Navy No. 35018 'British India Line' as it is currently under the ownership of West Coast Railway Company.

35018 has been seen running round the network since its overhaul which finished in 2018 operating to Weymouth, Scarborough, Carlisle to name a few! Also visiting heritage railways such as the Wensleydale and Swanage Railways respectively. The locomotive since 2024 has rarely been seen out of Carnforth due to the CDL issues that WCRC were facing meaning there was no vacuum brakes coaching stock available to use.

I have based 35018 as it was seen during The Greatest Gathering in Derby in 2025 as I had the most research photos to use.

Requirements

PLD Rebuilt Merchant Navy Class (the Steam Store version will not work)
Optional : SSS Rebuilt Merchant Navy Sound Pack (the pack hasn't been tested without it, but feel free to try)

Notes

In real life, 35018 has an extended coal bunker on the tender, unfortunately due to lack of modelling skills the original 5250 gallon tender is used.
I would like to reskin the cab to look a bit more modern with all the gubbins, this will be looked into in future.
