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

Full List of Modded Units
- Class 801 Azuma | East Coast Mainline (and Fife EP & WCMLS EP 805 | Reduced the cab light intensity to usable levels, reduced the carriage interiors to a more realistic intensity, improved headlight throw distance as well as softened the tone
- Class 700 | Southeastern Highspeed | Reduced the cab light intensity, significantly reduced the intensity of the carriage interior lights. Fixed the headlight LOD issue that caused the lights of trains to spontaneously appear right in front of you
- Class 142 | Preston Blackpool | Increased the LOD of the interior passengers. A work-in-progress as there is a core issue involved, but better than it was
- Class 314 | Cathcart Circle | Increased the attenuation radius and brightness slightly of the headlight
- BR103 | Left Rhine | Improved the headlight draw distance and brightness
- RABe 523 | Lucerne - Sursee | Improved draw distance of the headlights and fixed the headlight LOD issue
- ICE 3 | Kassel - Wurzburg | Fixed the headlight LOD in the same way as the Class700, with the lights now visible from a realistic distance
- Class 385 | Edinburgh - Glasgow | Fixed the headlight LOD as above
- DB BR 628 | Niddertalbahn | Increased attenuation and intensity somewhat to throw a realistic amount of light ahead of the cab
- 1972 Tube Stock | Bakerloo Line | Added a fix to significantly reduce the intensity of the saloon lights to realistic levels
- Class 465 | South Eastern High Speed | Fixed the headlight LOD and reduced the intensity of the bugged and 'always on' cab light to make it less jarring and more realistic
- OBB 4024 Talent 1 | Voralberg | Increased the headlight intensity to make night driving a much more rewarding and realistic experience
- BR Class 314 | Glasgow Cathcart Circle | Increased the headlight intensity to make night driving a much more rewarding and realistic experience
- RhB ABe 8/12 Allegra and RhB EW1 Coach | Bernia Line | Improves the headlight intensity and LOD (too short, yet again!), the cab light and the passenger saloon lights for both the unit itself and the EW1 coach
- EMD F125 & Rotem Cabcars | Antelope Valley | LOD fix for the headlights on both these units. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
- DB BR 143 | Dresden - Riesa | Headlight LOD fixes and increased intensity
- LUL 72 Stock | Bakerloo Line | Increased the brightness of the headlights on the LUL72Stock to make them more realistic
- Railpool BR 193 Vectron | Voralberg | Fixed the headlight LOD pop-in
- Class 710 | WCMLS & Goblin Line | Removed to avoid conflight with Laika's similar mod. This can be downloaded here
- Class 170 | Fife Circle | Fixed the headlight LOD (yet again), reduced the intensity of the cab light and significantly reduced the intensity of the noticeboard light. Reduced the intensity of the saloon lighting as it was far too stark and bright
- Class 43 HST | Midland Mainline | Fixed to be compatible with the latest patch and increased the intensity of the headlights. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
- ScotRail Class 158 | Skyhook Games | Added a fix to subtly increase the brightness of this units headlights. Compatible with Spikee1975's CabCam mod Although this unit was generally ok with the saloon lighting I've added it to the mod and brought it into line with the EMT 158
- Class 380 | Cathcart Circle | Increased the attenuation radius and intensity of the headlights as well as increasing the LOD distance making them visible at greater distances. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
- Class 72 Stock | WCMLS | Reduced the excessive brightness of the saloon lighting and increased the strength of the headlights
- Class 390 Pendolino | WCMLS | Reduced the intensity of the cab light. Fixed the headlights to actually provide illumination and also fixed the default issue that was causing the headlight to disappear when the train tilted
- DB BR 111 | Frankfurt Fulda | Improved the headlights so they actually cast beyond the unit (this is the 111 that comes with the N-Wagon pack)
- DB BR 111 | Salzburg - Rosenheim | Improved the headlights. Brings this unit to the same spec as Frankfurt Fulda
- DB BR 111 | Mittenwaldbahn | Improved the headlights. Brings this unit to the same spec as the Frankfurt - Fulda and Salzburg - Rosenheim versions
- MBTA F40PH-3C | Boston - Worcester | Significantly reduced the brightness of this locos headlights as they were set to an absolute comedy value. Most correctly set headlights in the game are generally in the tens of thousands of lumens, prior to this mod the headlight brightness on this unit was set to 4,000,000 (4 million!) lumens which, in my opinion made it almost unusable. They are now set to a much more realistic level
- EMD F125 & Rotem Cabcars | San Bernadino | LOD and attenuation radius fix for the headlights on both units. Now the same spec as the Antelope Valley version. Added driver camera position to match the Antelope Valley version (from the defunct CabCam mod)
- EMT Class 158 | Midland Mainline | Having supposedly been in an update some time ago, the saloon lighting LOD is somehow broken again. In it's default state you literally need to be on top of this unit to see the interior lighting. How that's happened I don't know, but SHG had definitely fixed this at some point in the last. Also includes Laika's orange PIS tweaks to make the PIS the correct colour
- TfW Class 150 | Cardiff City Network | Fixed the disappearing/popping-in headlight cone LOD
- TfW Class 153 | Cardiff City Network | Fixed the disappearing/popping-in headlight cone LOD. Reduced the intensity of the cab and cabin saloon lighting
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
