Please read the changelog for important information
NOTE | This mod has grown to be far bigger than I ever expected (over 100,000 downloads which is crazy!) and it had become increasingly difficult to keep track of. After a couple of requests along these lines, I've now made the decision to bring it back into a single mod. You must delete all previous elements of this mod for it to function correctly.
This mod is intended for use with TSW6 only
If anyone has noticed a unit I've not looked at with light and/or LOD issues let me know & I'll take a look
NOTE The passengers and/or the lighting on some of the units have been set up incorrectly by DTG. With no mods installed, at night, the passengers are just pitch black outlines of characters. Unfortunately this isn't fixable via a mod and where you see it with this installed is default behaviour

Highly Recommended & designed to work with this mod
is the 700 this one? !!!JetWash-Laika-TSW4-Class700CarriageLights-OrangePIS.pak ?
Yes, that’s the one. Sorry to change the format but I can imagine it could fast get out of control with a number of small mods. It makes much more sense to roll them into one.
RABe 523 driveable at night no less! All your mods are amazing and reflect the huge work, enthusiasm and dedication you put in them. Many many thanks for it. And of course, wish you a happy new year!
Thankyou! Happy New Year to you too
Sorry to be a pain, do these individual files replace "!!!JetWash-TSW4-LightingLODFixes.pak" ?
Hey. Yep, apologies and it won’t change again, but remove any and all previous versions, stand alone or all-in-one
Do we remove JetWash-TSW4-Class700CarriageLights.pak?
Hey. Yep, apologies and it won’t change again, but remove any and all previous versions, stand alone or all-in-one
from seperate mods to single to seperate mods again lol
It won’t change again, don’t worry!
hey, could you perhaps make the light cone from the KWG ICE 3 render when farther away? it disappears when not even 100 meters away, it really sucks!
I’ll have a look. Increasing LODs on ToDv3 trains is tricky (slash impossible) but you never know. I’ll have a look next time I get chance. Which route is that?
Kassel-Würzburg (KWG, as said), it's actually a TOD4 route/train, so it shouldn't be that bad I guess :)
Sorry, I’m away and read it quickly on my phone. Will take at look when I get back. Thanks.
Fixed for you in the latest version
thank you! appreciate it :)
If there are any others let me know 😇
not at the moment, and luckily the other two ICE 3s don't have the same issue, but I will let you know if I discover another too short headlight LOD :)
For me at least, Niddertalbahn TSG 628 has really short light cones. Would be nice to have it fixed, specially after that route has become usable thanks to your ini settings mod! Thank you so much!
well actually there is the Railbow ICE 3 but I am not sure if it's worth it as I plan on making an ICE 3 enhancement pack in the future which may or may not also include a Railbow/rainbow livery variant, where the KWG version would pick up the LOD fix from the mod aswell, I hope. we'll see.
I’ll have a look at the 628 but don’t own the Railbow ICE3 so can’t do anything on that one unfortunately.
Rainbow ICE3. Let it die
Don't need the Railbow ICE 3 DLC anymore anyways as Nagiphaaa is working on implementing that in the next version of her ICE 3 Enhancement Pack, as she revealed. I agree, the DLC itself isn't that great/accurate. Luckily we'll have a better alternative for it sooner or later.
Do these work in TSW3 as well?
I'm don't think they will unfortunately although you could give it a try. If they don't just remove the .pak file.
Yeah, they don't seem to work in TSW3 sadly. Tried the BR628 headlight mod and the game crashed instantly when trying to load the BR628 :(
Big sad, would be nice to be able to see at night on the Niddertalbahn.
Thanks a lot for the new additions! You're an amazing hard worker! Many many thanks!
Hi! Perhaps it's me or my graphics configuration, but I find Glasgow Cathcart Circle Series 314 too short and weak in its headlight cone. Maybe IRL was like modelled in game, but personally I find it a little uncomfortable to drive at night compared to other same age UK units. Would appreciate your comments. Thanks a lot.
Sorted! ;-)
Now it's perfect! That was quick, sir! Thanks again for your amazing hard work! You are amazing!
Thank you so much for pursuing my suggestion of adding it for the 72 stock, the lights seemed way too bright and unnatural so this mod really helps my immersion! :D
No worries. Sorry it took me so long to get around to it!
Hello there! Thank you for all your fantastic work. I am quite new at this, so have to ask... Is it actually impossible to make outside things visible at night when headlights are on? I still see pitch black outside in front of me e.g. in OBB4024 at night. Yes, some poles are illuminated and when headlights set to "Bright", I can see railroad 10 m in front of me, but that's it. The rest is pitch black. Is that the limitation what the mod can do? Thank you for the answer.
And here is the picture of what it looks like if I have high beams selected. https://imgur.com/a/txSwrPX
I’ll have another look at it when I next get chance. Remember I recommend adding a touch of Volumetric Fog when driving at night.
Yes, if there is fog, somehow the whole scenery becomes illuminated. I understand the options might be very limited...
I’ve done something with it, will likely upload today
Thank you. Will give it a try.
Can i put all the pak files into one single dlc folder?
There is one DLC folder, all mod .pak files go in there.
When I use the F125 LOD fix, it reverts CabCam improvements back to the default camera position.
JetWash I guess doesn't care about the US side. I asked if there will be more then just this one. No answer.
What are you talking about? There are many mods for the US content already. I haven't seen the same issues on that content either. I can't fix what isn't broken. I'm also busy and do this as a hobby, so get back in your box.
The new Class 218 is really a nice loco, but I'm sure it would be even nicier if you could do your magic on it... Of course only if you have the time and the mood, and you think like i do that lighting for this mainly well done work is not optimized. No request at all. Thanks for your impressive work! For me your mods are essential and absolutely game changers.
Just a note: and thanks for your work.. With the upgrade from Glasgow Cathcart circle to TSW4 lighting !!!JetWash-TSW4-Class314-Headlight does not work. The windows are no longer transparent
I will have a look at it. With the TOD4 change it may well no longer be needed. How is the headlight brightness etc with the default train?
If and when you have the time and it can be fixed, the one mod for the 314 is broken again causing the Iced Window Effect. I put this together, to let people know and maybe assist in showing how I figured out what was causing this issue.

Fixed 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
thanks for 380 mod
No problem
Great Thanks for the 380 !
No problem
Hi JetWash,
Can you check the 380 Mod? They have a conflict with the Spikee CabCam mod for the 380! Its a conflict there. Thanks!
Done
Thanks :))))
JetWash, you will make a Enhancement Pack for WCML? with the real LNWR branding on the trains and stations? just like you did with the Island Line 2022, where you put the real SWR livery on the trains
I didn’t do anything for the Island Line. It is highly likely there will be a mod for WCMLS although I cannot say when.
Quick question for TSW5 do we just download the
!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-72Stock.pak
!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-Class390Pendolino.pak
or do we also need the other 3 ?
TSW 5 | Lighting & Graphic Enhancement v1.01
TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One
because the following one has not been updated from the looks of it for TSW5
UK Rolling Stock Orange PIS Fix (TSW4 Compatible)
All mods work with TSW5 as it’s the same game as TSW4.
Is there a plan to do more US routes or just AVL (Antelope Valley)?

The above files are both needed? Apologies if I confused ya.
Or does one replace the other?
They’re different units. One is the Class 710, the other the 72 stock London Underground train.
Been up all night my error, I meant to ask about the
!!!JetWash-TSW4-Class170Lights.pak
and
!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-Class710.pak
Sorry about that.
It’s ok. Same again though, one is for the Class 170 (Scotrail), the other is for the Goblin & WCMLS Class 710.
okay, thank you for the info. 👍
Thank you for these. Would it be possible to have these in an all-in-one PAK file? My DLC folder is jammed to the gunwales and it's getting hard to keep track of all the great mods I'm using.
Got a CTD with the Class 465 and this mod. No problems without it...
Can't re-create it I'm afraid, it loads fine for me with no CTD
Sorry Jetwash, just to confirm, we're now removing the Pendilino 390, class 710 & class 72 pak files?
Yes if you intend to use the WCMLS enhancement pack, no if you don't want to use the pack but want to keep the fixes. :)
Thanks ResurrectorRTX, I'd taken a punt anyway, and disabled them.
You should leave those files for WCMLS trains as most PCs may not handle your mod and may use them as an alternative for lightinng
I'm not physically removing the files, I'm just disabling in the TSW Mod manager :p
Hello : With the new Fife circle update, problem with your class 170 light : the passengers are standing in the train..
Thank's for all your patch..
Denis (France)
Is it just me or is there no mod for the 390 in the list of downloads ?
It's included in the WCMLS Enhancement Pack now.
Hi. With a recent DLC is much easier (cheaper...) now to get the DB BR 111 loco. But unfortunately it has almost no headlights, making it impossible to drive at night... Perhaps a little bit of your magic there... Not a request; of course only if you've got the time and mood. Would be nice! Thanks for all your work!
Yeah, sure. I’ll take a look next chance I get
Many thanks! You're great! Thank you again! And of course, have a happy new year!
Done. Happy New Year
Thank you so much!! A nice New Year's Eve present for all! Thanks again, and a really happy New Year!
Could we see one ofr the class 313 and 323 in the future?
hi,
Just want to thank you !! the little BR628 is one of my favorite but the headlights were so poor that i didn't want to drive at night and i couldn't see the speed limit signals (i play in immersive mode)
Huge improvement ! Thanks for you work, if it's amazing with others locos, it will be great.
Could be really nice too getting the headlights you've made for the FTF BR111 working in the SRM's one. It unfortunately has the same issue that the FTF's had before your work. Now, with your mod, is possible to drive perfectly in "inmersive mode" at night, because you can see the signals, really essential for PZB use. Only if you feel on the mood and have the time, never a request of course. Thank you sooo much!
Sorry for the request concerning SRM 111, because there's a mod around here that gives nice headlight to it Simply, it was not compatible with another mod I had installed. Once deleted, it works perfectly. Thanks again for your nice work!
Will see what I can do
Many thanks for the update and for the SRM 111 fix! You're great sir! Thanks again!
No problem. If there are any other units let me know & I can add them to the mod.
There are. I enjoy playing the old british routes, TVL, NTP, WSR, WCL.. I find them really interesting and well done, much more with the EPs you talented modders have given to us to enjoy. Generally speaking, that routes have many nice locos but, sadly, almost all lacking proper headlights. I could mention Class20, 31, 35, 40, 47, 101, 150, etc (Except the pacer, having adequate headlight because of your nice work! and the 37 that has fairly nice headlights). If you've got the time and mood, having a look at them would result for sure in a splendid work, as you always do. Sorry for abusing your comment , as I know it woul be a lot of work. Thanks again. Cheers.
It's a bit harder for those as the effects aren't as good on the old lighting system, and it runs the risk of breaking stuff where those locos are used on the new lighting routes. I'll take a look though when I get chance
Thank you very much! Really appreciate your interest!
I sorted the 111 on Mittendwaldbahn too :-)
Drove it last night and is now impressive! Even with foggy weather looks fantastic. And no more light popups. Splendid! Thank you very much!
Hi Jetwash just to let you know the most recent class 700 update has messed up the !!!JetWash-TSW4-Class700Lights.pak mod.
Here's a screenshot. I know it is this mod causing as I removed every mod and readded them one by one, then when it happened removed every other mod but that one.

I'll fix it today. I've a few updates and new stuff to put up so will include it with that. Thanks for letting me know.
Could you look at the cab lights in the br 612? they do not iluminate anything in routes released after TSW2
If I do it will break them on the native routes. Is that what you want?
hey, ive noticed the headlights and cab light on the rotem bi level cab car on the antelope valley line doesnt work at all, and noticed that this mod is the cause of it. Any way you can look into it?
Are you sure you don’t have any other mod relating to that route / train installed? It worked just fine when I last looked.
hmm, ill check again, that might be the case
i only noticed the bug when i was trying to figure out which mod caused this, and so when i deleted this mod from DLC, it started to work again
seems like this mod is causing the weird bug on my end, i dont have anything really relating to the antelope line at all, i just have mods for shadow fixes and upgrades but doesnt seem like those are the issue.
It looks like there’s been an undocumented update to that unit and I can see the issue. Just testing a fix now and will upload it, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I'm sure you know already but this is a really useful site for seeing when things have been updated: https://steamdb.info/app/2967990/patchnotes/
I didn’t know that, thankyou!
Hello IvyTurner24, and thanks for this info, where DTG gives us a summary of the resulting updates and changes!!!
Good luck, tof
Is UK Rolling Stock Orange PIS Fix fully required or else this mod wont work?
Not required
Running under TSW5, installed the mod and "required" and "vital" files as expected (under \Train Sim World 5\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC) but i don't see the difference with the headlight of the BR Class 700.
Objects continue to "pop" 10m ahead. Unusable by night on POV camera without HUD.
Maybe i missed something ?
Yes, you missed something. As it says in the description, I haven't increased the intensity of the headlights themselves. No one else has mentioned it, but you're saying you want them to be brighter and cast more light?
I'm surprised no one else talk about that. Maybe it's due to the majority of players drive with the HUD and probably with external camera too.
I don't know if they need to be brighter and cast more light but they need to have more range in my opinion. There, a comparison video to show the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V3M0OrsMIs
I understood this mod was supposed to fix the headlights, but maybe I misunderstood.
On that unit specifically, as it says in the description, it fixes the LOD of the headlight cones, it alters the cab light and significantly improves the cabin lighting. It doesn’t make any mention of altering the headlights themselves.
When I next get chance I’ll take a look at it
The mod has been updated with your requested changes. Enjoy.
It's really good now, at least for me, not using HUD and only ocassionally external cameras. Really appreciated sir. You're great. Many thanks and cheers!
Have you had a look at the Class 313 (ECW)? It's anice loco, a classic, with a really good sound mod made for it long ago but still working, but virtually no headlight at all... You know... only if it's possible, you have the mood and you've got the time. No request, I promise. Thanks and cheers!
I have in the past but it’s problematic. What is it exactly you want changing? If it’s the rubbish LOD of the headlight itself (as in the physical structure) that can’t be fixed. If it’s the brightness of the headlight and the amount of light it casts, that I can do
Brightness and amount casted mainly, because as it is now is barely playable at night. I play without HUD and no way to see speed signalling on time, for instance. Would be really appreciated. A big big thank you for your kind interest. Cheers!
I’m away for a week now but will have a look when I get back
Thank you very much. If that's the case, have a nice Easter Holiday! Cheers!
I didn't expected you will patch it in the next 24 hours, you're very effective!
Thanks you for your work, i just tested it and it work fine. Much better for night driving with the Class 700. :)
very nice but the headlight on the 700 is way too bright
Do you have a reference?
make it for north America train like bnsf union pacific ns cn
GSM-R on the 150 and 153 TfW are negatively affected, displays stay dark. Tried identifying which mod is responsible and this one is causing that issue. Could you please fix it in the next update?
That’s because DTG have updated the trains which updates the files and I just haven’t had time to update the mod to follow suit. I will when I can, but in the meantime suggest you remove the broken mods until they get updated.
Are we able to get the 313 added with better headlights? On some routes there is 0 visibility from them and would be good to actually see them working and be able to see with them.
Will this mod work right now with TSW 6? Or does it need a new update? Thanks in advance.
To be honest, I don’t know. Logically it should so give it a try
Hey! Seems the BR 111 for Stuttgart-Heilbronn also suffers from weak headlights, I can only see speed signs about 5m in front of me :D
Any chance you could update this mod to include that one?
The mod gives me the icy glasses with the GWR Remaster DLC
hey there, jet wash thank you so much for this. I wanted to let you know that for the longest time on the Harlem line inside Penn Station or any dark tunnel even if the lights are bright full blast I can’t see nothing in front of me not even 1 feet in front of me but once you go out 15 feet then you can see, but you have to be outside of the train, but if you’re inside up to 10 5 feet you can’t see nothing. This is the only route that have this issue the other Metro North routes they’re fine. I don’t know if this is a core game problem with this route, but it sucks. Maybe if you could check it out.
This mod does nothing to routes, it is only train lights
Great thanks for this !
There's a small issue with your file: the ‘.pak’ extension is missing
Yes, I'm having the same issue!
I've found a temporary solution: I added the following to the end of the file:
.pak
Just an FYI:
Class 710 | WCMLS & Goblin Line | Removed to avoid conflight with Laika's similar mod. This can be downloaded here < Link removed here, but this mod is no longer available.
DB BR 111 | Mittenwaldbahn | Improved the headlights. Brings this unit to the same spec as the Frankfurt - Fulda and Salzburg - Rosenheim versions
With this Patch the Loco have no acoustic horn/whistles Sound more
Having some trouble with installing this, when I download it. It just downloads as a .file and not a folder or a pak file. Is this normal? What folder do I put it in?
I'm having the same thing happen - it's not downloading as a pak file, just downloads as binary file. Pretty sure it previously downloaded as a pak file?
Anyone have any help/answers?
Thanks!
If you wish to leave a comment, please log in .
Just for clarification - what pre-existind mods need to be removed before using this one?
The 700 lighting fix and Class 801 lighting fix. Hope that helps.
