[Waggonz] Class 87

Waggonz entwickelt schon seit ein paar Monaten eine Class 87.

Zitat von Waggonz

I think we're now at a point (bar a few smoothing issues) that we are happy with the exterior 3d model, almost all liveries have been finished and we will now start sorting out separate TS Blueprints for everything.
Here's a quick render of the NSE Class 87 minus decals as they will get added in 3D Studio.

Ich gehe davon aus, dass die Class 87 über den AP-Shop verfügbar sein wird (ähnlich wie bspw. bei der Class 90, Class 456, Class 313, Class 314/315)

Finishing touches and scenarios are all that remain to be completed for our forthcoming Class 87 Locomotive Pack.

With the modelling handled by Waggonz and the rest by us, this pack is a comprehensive representation of the 87's time on British rails. From the nameless cross-arm pantograph locomotives of the early days, to GSM-R fitted InterCity Swallow liveried 87002 with Locomotive Services Limited, no stone has been left unturned.

Stay tuned for more screenshots and information!

Let the scenario testing begin!

Network SouthEast liveried 87012 'The Olympian' awaits the road at Rugby with 1A97 19:30 Warrington R.M.T. - Willesden P.R.D.C.

This first one has been created by John Dean, aka '87002RS-John'. As you can tell by his alias, he is a lifelong class 87 enthusiast, and also possesses a marvellous talent for creating interesting and realistic scenarios. We are honoured to have him on-board to create some of the scenarios in our forthcoming Class 87 Locomotive Pack.

On 12th August 2000, InterCity Swallow liveried 87005 'City of London' approaches Carlisle with 1C20 15:33 London Euston - Carlisle. At the time, this was one of the final survivors in 'ICS' livery. It was also one of the few services where Mk2s were booked to work this far north.

Another John Dean scenario from our forthcoming Class 87 Locomotive Pack.

87101 'Stephenson' eases out of Carlisle with 6M64 21:35 Aberdeen Guild Street - Willesden Brent. 6th June 1992.

Here is an excerpt from the manual of our forthcoming Class 87 Locomotive Pack regarding 87101:

The 36th and final class 87 to be built was fitted with a thyristor traction system instead of the more traditional tap changer. This locomotive is simulated to a certain extent with its differing roof equipment, unique liveries (BR Trainload & BR Blue (RfD)) and ‘conventional’ driving mode.

This locomotive had two driving modes, ‘conventional’ and ‘advanced’.

Conventional mode used the electronics rack to simulate how a normal 87/0 would behave with 38 equal notches of power and a 39th weakfield notch. The only real difference as far as the driver was concerned was that after selecting ‘Off’ on the notching lever, he did not need to wait for the notch indicator to fully notch down before re-applying power.

Advanced mode involved the use of a special key, latterly a permanently fitted mode-change knob. Turning the knob would remove all the notches from the notching lever except for ‘Run Down’. Everything beyond ‘Run Down’ was notch-less. Moving from 'Off' to 'Run Down' would shut off power and then anything beyond that was your tractive effort demand, just like a class 90.

Only conventional mode is simulated in this pack
