A mod that lets the Class 166 from Great Western Express couple to other trains with BSI couplers, such as the Class 142, 158, as well as modded version of Class 150. Also enables the FGW version.

There are two versions of the mod:

Replacement Version

  • Modifies the existing Class 166. Keep in mind this version won't be compatible with any game updates or mods that modify the original Class 166 RVD files, since one will overwrite the other.
  • FGW version should appear in the free roam spawn menu under Class 166 FGW, as "FGW Class 166 3car".

Variants Version

  • Doesn't modify the original 166, instead adds two variants, for use in free roam mode.
  • GWR version should appear in the free roam spawn menu under Class 166 GWG, as "GWR Class 166 3car (BSI)".
  • FGW version should appear in the free roam spawn menu under Class 166 FGW, as "FGW Class 166 3car (BSI)".

Notes

  • You don't need both versions, pick which one you prefer.
  • I am not sure how to get it to control another train when coupled (for example 166 coupled to 158), so to get them to move you might need to turn on the other train and release the brakes.

Bugs

  • Formation designer doesn't detect that the FGW version should be able to couple to other trains.

Loving your work so far, could you do a normal coupler on the ROG 37 by any chance? Would be amazing to see!

How do you enable the FGW 166 for TSW4? Can't find the unlocker anywhere

The FGW 166 is still in the original game files, it just isn't set to show up normally
