Description

This mod replaces the Class 323 included with the Glossop Line DLC with the newer one from the Manchester Airport route from ATS. This means you can now enjoy the improved version of the Class 323 in the scenarios and timetable of the older Glossop Line.

The most noticeable difference between the two Class 323s is the addition of the latest suspension system on the ATS 323, while the Glossop 323 still uses the older static setup. The ATS Class 323 also uses the correct orange colour for the exterior PIS screens rather than the inaccurate yellow used on the Glossop 323, improving the visual experience when passing AI trains or viewing your own train from an external camera.

A comprehensive list of changes can be found below:

  • Replaces all Class 323 trains on Glossop Line with the improved version from the Manchester Airport Network route
  • All improvements made for Manchester Airport Network also available on Glossop Line:
    • Implementation of the newer suspension system
    • Correct orange colour for the exterior PIS

Nice! Now if someone can just make a livery swap for this one and make this for the BCC line that would be perfect

It'd need more than a livery swap as the two TOCs have a few differences in cab layout, passenger interior and PIS. A livery swap is quite doable but the other changes make it quite a challenge.

Ahh yes of course, I always forget about the passenger bits since I rarely see them. The pis too! The cab differences I don't mind, it's nice having a clock that helps with driving without UI. But yeh it would be a lot of work and there are some other cab differences I suppose some people might find distracting to the realism.

Oh well! Hopefully dtg or whomever actually update the suspension on the BCC one but I doubt it. They still haven't fixed the interlock light and that was broken on release 🙄 - I can't even tell if the company that made the BCC route is still in business which is a shame because they did a really detailed job.

Well, this removed the 323 completely from Glossop for me. Will do some digging.

Assuming you do own Manchester Airport?

Yes. And I only have one mod for that (the Scotrail 158 sub). The 323 does appear when I load up after removing your mod, so I'll wait to hear of any other people having the same issue.

Sigh...I'll have a look but I don't really know where to start as I can't reproduce the issue.

Okay I think I have sorted the issue.

A 323 does appear on services, however it isn't selectable from the menu & I'm not sure which 323 it is.

strange, I'm not having the issue others here describe - I run a heavily modded game too - all the mods I use are here https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/user/ivy/collections

Edit: V1.0.0 didn't work in tsw6 but the updated version does

Yes but we don't all have the same mods as you, it could be any one mod that causes issues for others but not for you.

Könntest du diesen mod bitte auch für die Dostos machen, das nur noch die Frankfurt Fulda Dostos mit der 146 anstatt der MSB version in den fahrplänen und deren Layers verfügbar ist

Hey! Awesome work on the 323 swap mod — really appreciate what you’ve been doing.

I wanted to ask something: would it be possible to make a similar swap mod for the BR Class 101 that appears in the timetables for TVL, NTP, and WCL? I’m wondering if those older 101s could be replaced with the newer BR class 101 from the recent Just Trains route.

The reason I’m asking is because the TVL/NTP 101 has that issue where the saloon lights stay off when it runs as an AI train, which kinda breaks the immersion. If there’s no easy fix for that, a swap to the JT version might be a nice workaround.

No pressure at all — just thought I’d ask in case it’s something you might be interested in. Thanks again for all your great mods!
