BR Class 41 'Prototype HST' Powercar

Description
Just a HST but more threatening, and experimental.

In the early 1970s, two branches of British Rail were tasked to develop a high speed train, one in Derby and one in Crewe.

This is Crewe's (cheaper) entry into the ring. In 1972, a Paxman Valenta was rammed into a sleek streamlined body to create the Class 41 (or Class 252, depending on your mood).

One of these units managed to top out at 143mph, setting a world record for diesel traction.

Coupled with a rake of MK3 coaches (not included in this mod), these powercars operated until 1982.

Stats are nearly identical to the Class 43s.

Whats in the mod then:
1x Class 41 powercar (+ reversed version)
Custom soundset
Custom particles/emissions
Dirt layer
User colours

I should add some tips as well:
The class 41s nose curves are very smooth. It basically uses the same curvature for the roof for all the front angles. In pictures, it has no corner noticable corners like on the ingame model. I think if you made the side corners smoother it would look a lot better.
For reference, the curve stops at the edge of the yellow sides.

Im sorry, this just doesn't look very good imo. Its way too square (Especially the nose, which is more semicircular irl), the window is a square when it should have rounded corners, its got very little exterior depth... I really hope you remake this. Its a really good starting point, but its clearly very rough and in need of adjustments. The custom particles and such are very neat though.

Interesting. Looks like a mod conflict. Does it do it in a game with only this mod enabled?

Oh two for one... magic! This one always looked like something out of a Sci-Fi comic book to me as a kid, I guess it was something about the large windows making it look like a spaceship of sorts, hehe! Cracking work.

You see, now what we need are Mk3's in this same livery as the 41's
