Is there a legit way to get the "Hitachi Super Express"?

Post by USRailFan »

The "Hitachi Super Express" was included from TS2012, but was removed when the Class 801 DLC came and when you do a complete reinstall from scratch these days, it's not reinstalled. I have an old scenario of mine, that I at one point made for one of the UKTS Freeware collections, that uses this model as a "stand in". Obviously the lack of this on a fresh install means this scenario no longer works as-is (I was going to update and modernise it, including replacing the Super Express with a Voyager). Is ther still a legit way to get the old "Super Express" model?

I thought it now came with the ECMLS but I'm not sure.

It does not, it is a "Class 801" trainset that installs in a completely different folder structure.

Just because an asset is bundled with another item that doesn't mean that it can't be in a different folder tree--Oovee's TEA wagons that come with the class 70 have their own folders.

The Class 801 is not the same as the original Hitachi Super Express Concept from Railworks 3 or thereabouts. The Class 801 installs in Assets/DTG/Class801Pack01, the original Concept was in Assets/RSC/SECpack

Apart from the different folder structure what is the difference between the SEC and ECML-S versions?

And if there are non why not just get your scenario to point towards the newer version?

Well the first version has Plug doors and the second has pocket doors

I don't see much difference otherwise - the later version is a good reskin in to LNER and GWR liveries

I believe the SEC was replaced by the ..\Assets\DTG\Class801Pack01 item, so if you had the original you should now have that replacement pack instead.

So where's the problem if you're going to remove it anyway?
