Welcome to our Midland Mainline Enhancement Pack - the biggest pack we've made to this date! We hope you thoroughly enjoy this mod.

A special thanks to Muff and Will for providing access to the unofficial editor.

Important information - for anyone experiencing any of these issues listed below, please download 'MML Player Feedback.rar' which has been provided below in the download section:

• HST too pixelated?
• 158 Window pixelated?
• Creators Club Liveries not appearing on the MK3's?

The player feedback file will fix all of the above issues.

Inside the zip file, you will find a few different paks. Please read the readme inside the zip file to find detailed information, as to what these pak files do.

A full list of changes and improvements can be found below:

HST

• Cab gauge light brightness and colour completely edited to be more realistic and truer to life
• Cab Light colour has been given an orange hue per the real thing, and lighting levels altered appropriately
• Saloon and Vestibule lighting on the Mk3’s has been dimmed significantly. Light colour has been warmed to be more prototypical. Light bleed onto the carriage structure has been reduced to imperceptible levels as a result
• Male and Female uniforms reskinned to match the real uniform as closely as possible within the confines of the model used
• Sound attenuation improved - Can hear the horn and engine sounds from further away, can hear joints across the points without needing to stand right next to them
• Slight weathering and reduction to the overly-reflective exterior
• Optional cab camera fix - raised seating position by 10cm
• Material fixes
• Retextured and slightly weathered cab
• New slam-door sound set
• Updated headlight visuals

Class 158

• Male and Female uniforms reskinned to match the real uniform as closely as possible within the confines of the model used
• Sound attenuation improved - Can hear the horn and engine sounds from further away, can hear joints across the points without needing to stand right next to them
• Slight weathering and reflectivity reduction
• Window tint added across the unit
• Material fixes
• Internal cab & saloon weathering
• New higher resolution decals for signage and stickers

• Realistic vending machine
• New advertising billboards
• Trucks have added branding
• Excavator has weathering and branding

• Cable trunking added across the whole route

• Extra yard lighting and fencing
• Etches Park overhauled with elements from GWE, including working train washes

• Real-world logos added to iconic buildings including the Brush works at Loughborough and the station sign at East Midlands Parkway
• Ballast colour(s) changed across the whole route to reflect the real world
• Where they could be identified, various missing speed limit signs and whistle-boards added
• Inappropriate Gas Storage Tank at Mount Sorrel removed and replaced with a structure more representative of a grain silo
• Some buffer-stops added in places that require them
• Various buildings changed across the route, for example the over-sized signal box approaching the platforms at Derby not represented by stacked Port-a-Cabins
• Brand new signal and gantry visuals
• More realistic signal light colour, brightness & glow
• Updated station lighting with realistic colour temperature for each power station
• Updated station signage and safety notices with corrected fonts and higher resolution textures
• EMT branded signage at depots

Last Minute Additions

• Lighting in and around Nottingham station greatly enhanced, approaching the station at night is now much more realistic and satisfying
• Missing prototypical lights between platforms 6 & 7 added
• Static GSM-R texture added the defunct unit in the HST
• Further enhancements to the sound attenuation of both units including brake hiss etc.
