V set – 4 cars (Sydney Trains)
The V set trains serve as part of NSW’s intercity fleet, linking Sydney with neighbouring regions and towns such as Newcastle, Lithgow, Wollongong, etc. These are deployed in 4 car and 8 car sets, but the carriages are 24m long, and I’m not sure if there are any 200m platforms on the workshop, so for now I am only publishing the 4 car.
This is not a line-coloured set, and I won’t be making one. However, let me know if you’d like to see any of the older liveries and I may consider it!
I wanted this one to be as much of an improvement to the K set as the Waratah was to the Tangara. In particular the K set came out looking very clean, so I wanted to focus on giving the train cars the weathered, stained look of years of passing through mountain tunnels, killing a million bugs, and corroding from aircon runoff, and I found some neat ways to pack that look in without jumping up in overall resolution. I also took a big step with the pantograph detail, and the tri count is a fair bit bigger than previous trains.
Note: The Additive Shader mod is required if you want the blue light to light up, but it will work without it.
