Description
This is a pack of 10 different numbered V60 (D) also known as V60 Ost in the livery and number scheme used just before and after unification of the German Railways. Many never carried DB emblems and a few were repainted in the DBAG red scheme but the vast majority saw out the 90s and 00s in this mode.
The Deutsche Reichsbahn built over a 1000 of these 4 axle heavy duty diesel hydraulic shunters which weighed about 55Tonnes and were rated at 478kW (640HP). They were seen all over the DR system in their Orange livery (some were Russian Gauge used at the Sassnitz Ferry operation). After unification and the resulting traffic changes most were withdrawn although some were sold to private operators and many of those re-engined with more fuel efficient motors. When the 106 series had reached 999 the numbering re-commenced at 105. In preparation for unification the class became 345 and 346 with the same index and check digits. Trials had been underway to reduce the fuel consumption and as the duties were lighter (because class 108 (later 298) were carrying out the heaviest shunting duties) a new engine of 12 cylinders rated at 365kW (490HP) was favoured and some class 345 and 346 had their engine replaced becoming class 344. Externally they are no different to the 346s. Some are still in use today.
In this pack are 8 class 346 (V60_EpV1-8) and one each of Class 345 and 344 (V60_EpV9 and V60_EpV10).
Installation Instructions
There has been a good model of these locos available for sometime but only one number which has resulted in many scenarios having multiple shunters all having the same number!
This is a repaint pack of 10 numbered loks (Ep V) to supplement the Ep IV one supplied as Freeware by TSC (Scheinenbus) available on the Rail-Sim.DE website -

Installation
You must download and install the TSC freeware before installing this mod as it contains all of the files needed. After installing the TSC (TrainSimContent) files go to Assets\TrainSimContent\V60_Ost\DieselLoks and copy the folder V60_Ost up to 10 times. Change the name of the copied files to V60_EpV1, V60_EpV2,etc to V60_EpV10 NOTE: do not alter the name of the original file V60_Ost.
This mod also shows a next due major repair date in EpV on the data "sticker".
Extract the file you have downloaded from this site and paste it into your Assets folder allow overwrites and you will then find you now have 10 loks all with different numbers. I have chosen these numbers so as to not conflict with to the Ep IV series already posted and they can be run side by side as there was a lengthy overlap period.
In the Assets flyout the loks appear as:
TSC - BR 344 054-2
TSC - BR 345 033-6
TSC - BR 346 237-1
TSC - BR 346 259-5
TSC - BR 346 276-9
TSC - BR 346 279-3
TSC - BR 346 433-6
TSC - BR 346 552-3
TSC - BR 346 972-3
TSC - BR 346 984-8
Thanks to Schienenbus and the TSC for the original.
