Hitachi Super Express Virgin Trains re-skin?

[andrewwhite82]

just wanted to know if there i a re-skin in virgin trains livery for the super express.
Also does ukts have a page for this train if so please tell

[andrewwhite82]

Would someone be able to convert the class 390 one to the SEC because they are similar?

[Irishrailguy]

Well they use completely different texture maps so I'd say no, that's not to say you can't find out how to do it yourself...

[styckx]

Virgin repaint is impossible without someone making blank decals for it. 98% of this train is mirrored textures.

[styckx]

Might as well just ask here instead of starting yet another SEC repaint thread.

Would anyone actually use these? I did this as a goof last night and have no plans to actually upload it but if someone actually would use it (where I don't know) I'll tidy it up for distribution.

I would actually use it, I like being different

Not for me Bill, sorry, not a big lover of fictional liveries.
You make such a good job of the proper ones and there's far too many fiction ones out there already.

Well I like it better than the default

[styckx]

Well I like it better than the default

That's the only reason I did it. I didn't even make a reskin folder, I just completely overwrote the default textures.

[MisterWho]

Well I like it better than the default

I'll second that opinion ...

Interestin' retro-future sorts of things you can do with this:



I'm still blaming Bill.

That's probably the worst angle for that nose, too - comes out somewhat better at flatter angles.

If you make a set all motor vehicles it actually performs.

I have to say though that those do look good Bill and Simon both liveries actually suit the iep

I'd love to see a ATP/-E livery, would be interesting

Well, it sorta works.


However it needs actual designing because the lines are all fighting with the windows, and you're also fighting the mapping really badly in places. I think I'll stick with the HSTP version :p.

Just a quick thought - would it not be better to make one of these -

As the intended successor of the 86/87/90 (scrapped due to Privatisation) they could be a good asset for WCML North...
