They look great! Will you be doing the new Connex/South Eastern livery?

Its simple enough to do, so im sure it can be arranged Damon

As for the earlier points made, I do understand in a way, what you mean abot the yellow going round the sides. The fact is, the mapping only allows this to go so far. With this being of Daves first 'proper' decent models, it still had its slight errors, for example the front being a seperate shape and having that slight gap its it is added on. If I was to extend the yellow round, it would look weird, as it might 'encounter' the gap and so look a little weird with the yellow streching over the gap. I have however tried to pull it round as much as I can to try and get it to look right.

Ive only just noticed about all this from actually looking at the screenshots now, Once you get the rolling stock in the simulator, you shouldnt really notice it. I am happy with the turn out, as it now does look like a proper 465/466 unit. Although there is no offical cabview as yet, I have moved the cab so thats its more matched to the proper height, where as before it was too high.

In the mean time, im going to add some new destination to the trains (thanks for those of you who helped), ill show some more shots soon of the trains with different destinations.

P.S. will they keep the same eng/wag/folder names as the old versions?

Yes. The intention is to keep them just as texture updates. Ive had to change a few shapes to overcome some errors though, so ill include them in the installer. The folder name is also the same.

The reskins are looking excellent, the front ends are looking much more realistic than the current ones.

Probably not, they will seperate trains to the original versions.

No it will be purely an update that will drop over the original. (Well it will be a complete stand alone package )

I see - be nice and quick to download then.

I've just noticed, does the top part of the window that opens (dont know what its called) seem a bit too high, or is it just me? (i think it more near the middle in near life)

Although not a 465, I decided to transfer the texture onto a modified 365, and also give new front. Still sorting some errors though. A progress shot:

Hi

Is there a way of making the weathering darker under the underderframe, rather than the white being lighter?

Im sure it can be done. Do you mean like 'more dirty'?

The 365 looks great. Just a note though, the ones with the new front end were adjusted after privatisations, so although they're in NSE they wouldn't have the logos (as far as I know). The original front-end ones would be either, though.

That Class 365 is amazing Anton!

Nice work on the changed front!
I agree - lets have some really dirty versions! :d

ok peoples, a few changes, more weathering towards the bottom, and changed the front slighty, and also removed the NSE text.

Help need once again though, with the headcodes and destinations. If anyone knows any, or would like one, just let me know.
