Version3:
added the DB Class E40 Electric Loco (Freight Green) to Freight Trains
The MAXIS engine is now fully suppressed by the DB041 in Freight Trains
V200 Diesel added along with Express Carriages
The entire setup is now user selectable (and therefore more complicated for some)
Props for all of my added content are now available in the files (thx Nardo69 for the original request)
All models and textures have been renumbered into my Tex Range F5E80050-F5E80070
Still TO DO: UDI Icon fixes etc.
