Hi, im soon going to be working on a project to build a class 357, shall begin by getting the southeastern class 375 as it is the closest thing we have to a 357, i will dismantle the front of the train leaving the bumper The Red bit is what will be removed and the blue is what will be kept. second part: Probably will work but will be irritating to do Build the 357 front from scratch all same textures with gen 1 electrostar headlights, get rid of anything with AC labelled on it such as the 3rd rail shoe, and add DC with a pantograph from the 387. As for the interior i will use the cab interior from the class 170 as it it the same as the 357 cab layout, as for the seats, handrails and stuff, the seats will be removed and replaced by c2c ones i will make from scratch, and rails redone in pink. once i have done all that i will do the normal 357 white with blue doors livery, i wont do the c2c branding as copyright stuff and all.
Would it not be easy to use the 377/2 as it already has AC functionality like the 357? Edit: added the /2
