I had managed to get the L Class to work on MSTS
Thanks to the help of superheatedsteam for his advise,

I found out the problem in the first place since I had too many Polygons on there which caused it to not work.

So my MSTS friends
I give you The Western Australian L Class loco



L251 in it's ATN Access Livery

I also made L254, L265 and L270 in this livery.
So for now this is version 1.0 I'll release hopefully soon

And for 1.1 or 1.2, I'm gonna add the Air conditioner box thatgoes on the top front of the loco and maybe I'll add the Wisconsin Central Limited logo on it as well.

And I'm also doing 1 to 2 more paint schemes
1 of the few in WestRail livery and another few in Pacific National Livery

I Might Not be a Battered Sav that you get from a Take-Away Food shop , But I'm a big fan of the 3801.

It's on the NSW GSM out of Wagga, which is not a bad shot to show my new L Class Smile

Well done. Good to see some new WA (yet alone any MSTS) content being created. Your model shows lots of promise.

Which cab and sounds are you using for this model?

at the moment mate, It has the dash9 cab, But I have managed to find a NSW81 class horn sound since in 2001 all the ATN L class has fitted in with a 81 class horn,
I use to have the proper engine sound files of the 81 that is the same as the L Class has, This was dated back 2 to 3 years ago when I made the engine sound for the 81s,

So for now It has the dash9 cab with it's sound, but the horn sound is the proper 81 class or 80 class, wither of the two.

And The last thing I have to do is configure the headlights in it's proper positions. Wink

I second that as well Smile , I should be able to release them soon.
I'll go and search on google to find some excellent shots of the XGAY wagons so that I can be able to make the wagons for it as well. then she'll be on the line in no time. Smile

Just an idea, why don't you use the SD40-2 cab from the content update?

AH, meaning it has the same engine sound and cab.
Well, Your smarter mate, I just might do that. Smile

No offence, but that cab is crap. It is positioned at an angle, and you can't see the track ahead of you directly in front. If a proper cab is unavailable then the most suitable would probably be the GP38 cab.

There are a number of high quality SD40-2 cab replacements at www.train-sim.com as well as improved sound packs.

Is the L Class left hand drive?

I know for sure L251 is left hadn drive, since in 2001 i was given a cabride from Junee to henty on it.

so yes the L Class I made are gonna be fitted as a left handed driver loco
and the SD40 sound, I managed to hear the sound and it really does suit the L Class, that will be fitted onto it as well. Smile

L Classes are dual controls in the cab. Left hand side for long end running and left hand side for Short End running.

The pilot needs to be lowered closer to the rails.
