255201 - Virgin Trains "Challenger"

I've uploaded this as a British Fictional reskin, but it did actually come close to happening in real life! Virgin Cross Country's "Operation Princess" timetable was set up with the Voyager fleet in mind, but Virgin also proposed to create some five car "Challenger" HST sets, to bolster their Voyager fleet. The model is short by one vehicle, as there's no five car HST set, but if (when?) DTG release a Consist Editor, I'll revisit this work and add the 5 car to the formation.

In the event, Operation Princess was cancelled after two weeks - and the previous timetable reinstated - and the Challenger sets ended up moving to Midland Mainline, for use with the "Rio" services between Manchester Piccadilly and London St. Pancras; needed whilst part of the WCML were being modernised.

It might be possible to get someone to make a 2+5 HST mod, which you could make a VT challenger set on in the old black and red livery (my personal favourite) I still love this though :)
