Also included are two recolor-able liveries, based off of the real liveries! These release in 1972 and 2000.

This mod includes 3 configurations for each livery; a lead unit, which has horn and bell, a reversed unit, and a trailing unit, with no horn and bell. Create all sorts of combinations! Yes, these trains did run in 3 car consists.
