Class 415 EPB Repaints - Now Released!

I have now uploaded several new repaints of the Class 415 '4EPB' EMU to the DPSimulation website, courtesy of Richard Fletcher. They are as follows, with excerpts taken from the documentation Richard has provided.

BR Blue

Reskin of the Dovetail Games NSE Class 415 unit into BR allover Blue livery.  Some modifications have also been made to the passenger view.

Changes have been made to the physics in line with actual operational experience.  Two variants are included, a standard 75mph set plus an 'express' unit that will attain 90mph - several sets were geared for this speed (though 75mph max was still displayed in the cab).

BR Blue Grey

Reskin of the Dovetail Games NSE Class 415 unit into BR Blue Grey livery as carried prior to the formation of Network SouthEast. Modifications have also been made to the passenger view, to better fit the era I wish to portray.

BR Green

Reskin of the Dovetail Games NSE Class 415 unit into Malachite Green as applied latterly to SR design set 5001, though modified to suit the BR design and numbered 5601. Modifications have also been made to the passenger view, to better fit the era I wish to portray.

All of the repaints listed above have had physics modifications, tested and verified by an ex-EPB driver.

These repaints can be downloaded from the EMU section of Richard's page by clicking here. Please note that due to the recent download issues which are still under investigation, temporary Mediafire links are currently being used. DPSimulation accept no responsibility for any advertising/popup content on this external site.

Posting Direct Links

This is now the final time that I will post on this matter, if it persists then I will have no choice to move all downloads behind an account structure requiring all users to register, completely negating the whole nature of the website which was to provide easy and high speed links to content.

Despite various posts over the last 12 months outlining to users NOT to post direct links to our content, they are still persisting on doing so. If you create a scenario that references free content from our site, please post a link to the page where the repaint resides, NOT a direct link to the content. By doing this you are encouraging users to completely bypass the site and it provides no benefit to you whatsoever, it only hurts us, we rely on users visiting the site.

If you do see people posting these direct links, could you please discourage them from doing so for the reasons stated above, although certain users have been told not to do this, they seemingly have no intention of  making the requested changes, please don't spoil it for everyone else.

To clarify, if your scenario requires a download such as the FTPE Class 350, on your requirements page/readme you must lead the user to the page in question, i.e http://dpsimulation.org.uk/rf72reskins.html
