West Coast Main Line South (WCML): London Euston - Milton Keynes Enhancement Pack

Update 14: 09 Feb 26
Update to fix the 377/7 PTOSL from showing Gatwick Express base colours

Update 13: 04 March 25
Small update to prevent the Class 377/7 from subbing 378s on the Mildmay DLC

Update 12: 12 Feb 25
Class 350 EP and Class 350104 Eurovision Updated to fix a DTG bug with a collision volume in the first class area of the TC car preventing player from walking down aisle

Update 11: 11 Feb 25
Class 350 EP and Class 350104 Eurovision Updated.:

• Fixed positions of internal passenger information screens
• Fixed the DTG head/tail lamp logic bug:

• Lights will default to tail lamps on rather than being completely off if the reverser is off.
• Tail lamps go off when reverser is moved from off to another position, or when the unit detects being coupled from that end of the train.

Update 10: 31 Dec 24

• Further improvements to the night lighting and additions of a few areas that had been overlooked. What's changed? It was noticed after the release of the last update that during very heavy rain or in thick fog some lights were creating an orb-like effect. That has now all but been eliminated by reducing the brightness of the lights and adjusting the position of the worst offenders, this also had the happy by-product of making the lighting look much better in general. A few more rogue spotlights have been nerfed and replaced with the new lighting type. The new crane at Watford Junction has been lit as per the rest of the route and some street lamps that were duplicated by the DTG update near Wembley Yard (causing performance drops) are now gone for good. General tidy up and improvements
• Addition of further clutter and foliage on the DC lines between Wealdstone Junction and Wembley Central
• Fixes and improvements to the custom station signage materials
• Maxwell the cat has been added to the route, being no more specific with his position than 'somewhere north of Leighton Buzzard'

Happy New Year!

Update 9: 19 Dec 24:

• Significant changes (probably in the region of 60-70% has been changed) to the environmental night lighting on the route using custom lights developed for the WCMLOS mod. As a result the lights look significantly better whilst improving performance at the same time
• In addition to the change in technique, many extra areas have been lit which these different types of lights allow. It also allows the embellishment of existing lighting
• Wembley Central altered to fit the DTG update
• Some changes to Harrow & Wealdstone and the lighting on the custom models has been fixed to fit with the DTG update. Performance at this station seems to be vastly improved.
• Minor scenery alterations and some additions of foliage and clutter in a couple of areas
• Alterations to the Class 390 headlight mod that is included in the pack
• Class 710 lighting mod has also been re-done from scratch as it had stopped working. Now working as intended
• Inclusion of the Class 801 lighting mod which has also been done again from scratch and significantly improved. This affects the 805 as it is a child of the 801, hence its inclusion. Includes improvements to the headlights to stop them clipping the body of the train (you will no longer see the stark V shape cast by the headlights) as well as casting light further ahead of the train, changes to the cab light to make it much less bright, changes to the notepad light to make it less bright and more realistic, changes to the passenger saloon lighting to make it more realistic
• Fixed a couple of minor scenery issues caused by the DTG update
• Poppy removed from the 72 stock
• London Overground sign materials adjusted to make them more matte and less glossy looking

• Unfortunately DTG’s update has broken the light baking at Euston again on the track at the station approach. Nothing can be done to fix this, it’s a DTG one sadly
