Pimp my CAR

Fastline Simulation - Bonus Stock: A dia 1/507 BR 20T brake van from lot 3227 built at Darlington in 1959 and subsequently modified to work with air braked trains. This version is one of a number of 20T brake vans included in our HBA/HEA hopper wagon expansion pack for Train Simulator 2014 to help add variety and authenticity to the scenarios in the pack. Initially released with the VDA vans pack the vans has had new materials applied to bring it in line with the CAO/CAP versions in the pack and an extra version created with battery tail lamp for those examples likely to have survived into the late 1980s.

The creation of the CAP and CAO brake vans for the HBA/HEA hoppers pack saw a number of shape tweaks and material changes take place. We've taken the opportunity to make some of the same changes to the CAR brake vans that were originally released with the VDA vans as a need was found for them in the scenarios for the hoppers where they are included as free bonus items alongside the other two variations.

The chance has also been taken to add some new versions of the brake vans with battery flashing tail lamps on the liveries that were likely to have survived into the late 1980s.

A patch will be issued slightly later to upgrade the CAR brake vans to the current version for those people who have bought the VDA vans pack but don't wish to buy the HBA/HEA Hoppers.
