Freelance pre-grouping style coaches
Overview:
Pre-grouping style coaches, and electric multiple units, to a freelance design - taking inspiration from various designs from various railways. Release will be free, however the electric multiple units are planned to be HUD drive only without cabviews, although head-out cameras will be provided. All coaches in this project feature a (to my knowledge) unique RGB system that allows them to be repainted from within the scenario editor only. With 7 colour slots to individually customise (8 for driving cab vehicles), optional door decals and numbering positions these coaches should be able to fit on any freelance or real route with ease. Only a limited 64 valve colour range is supported, compared to 256 valve range as normal, however this still gives 262144 unique colours to choose from on each slot.

Freelance stainless steel coaches
Overview:
Originally thought of as being a "next generation" of the above stock, these coaches quickly became something quite different with the decision to use stainless steel bodywork. As with the above, loco hauled and electric multiple units will be provided, however diesel multiple unit variants are planned (HUD drive only). Scripts related to multiple unit control are being made compatible between both this and the above pack, meaning that in theory you could run trains with a mix of units. Bogies, underframe and other components are shared between sets to give a common look. These coaches do not support the RGB repainting system however they do use a separate paint texture that is easy to edit. Exact window layouts and vehicle types are undecided at this time, as of 17th September 2023.
