📋 About This Mod
This project was initiated on January 21 of this year. I started out with virtually no prior experience in modeling, texturing, Unity development and related workflows. Since nearly every aspect of this work was my first attempt, kindly excuse the numerous imperfections present throughout this mod. That said, as my proficiency grows over time, this mod will undoubtedly receive continuous improvements.
Main features:
-
[]Comprehensive technical specifications of this locomotive are documented within the locomotive handbook; its core performance parameters are comparable to those of the DH4.[/]
[]The lubricator is mounted on the left side of the cab. [/]
[]This unit is not equipped with a sand level gauge—you can check the remaining sand volume by inspecting the sand dome atop the vehicle or accessing the dedicated UI panel.[/]
[]Three oil cups on each side.[/]
[]Similar arrangement of the air pump and generator to S060.[/]
[]Two interactable doors behind the locomotive are actually toolboxes :p[/]
Note:-
[]This locomotive is also named as S282-630 since this mod is not intended to be a perfectly 1:1 faithful recreation of the real-world BR86 locomotive.[/]
[]When the sand storage is full, anomalous dark shadows will render at certain viewing angles. A viable fix for this visual glitch has not yet been identified.[/]
[]Currently not VR compatible.[/]
