Class 45: High Intensity Headlights Patch

This is a simple patch that uses the AP Class 31 EP’s headlights to be used in conjunction with the existing marker lights of DTG Class 45. In real life, these headlights were fitted to the class 45/1 batch by the end of 1985 when BR mandated the use of headlights on all locomotives. The class 45/0 subclass did not get the same treatment as they were being phased out.

The control of the headlight is same as for the existing lights which is “H” or “Shift+H”.

Requirements

Installation Instructions

• Navigate to “RailWorks\Assets\DTG\Class_45Pack01” and extract “Class_45Pack01Assets.ap”.
• Copy the “Assets” folder from the download and paste it into “Railworks” directory.
• Make sure class 31 EP is correctly installed. (else new headlights won’t appear)
• No need for copying any geo files.

Additional Comments

Recommended (but not required), the following reskin is good to have if you want the class 45s to appear in correct BR blue livery:

BR Blue Class 45/46

Hello, I love what you have done here with the headlight, it looks great, would it be possible to get it to use the AP class 47 soundpack as VP did with their upate to the Class 45s (I wouldn't know where to start making this change!)

Great work,
Tim.

Hi Tim, thanks for your comment. Will upload a version with AP 47 SP someday. I didn't make that version as most people won't have the SP since it got discontinued long back.

Yeah, I never gave it a thought that the AP sound pack was discontinued, sorry about that, but having said that I think that although not perfect, the sound pack did give the DTG Class 45 a much better experience!
Thank You for your reply, it is much appreciated and I look forward to seeing what you offer in the future!

Tim.
