@Schwarzwaldbahner political vandalism. Capacity was needed on the Brighton line and rather than spend the money to increase it, and it would have been very expensive and unpopular in some areas, the Gatwick Express franchise, which was very successful, was abandoned. The 460's were too specialised for the extra Brighton trains that took the airport trains place, so they were converted.

Our Class 314 / 315 Pack is coming along nicely, Whilst Dave is still in the process of building and unwrapping the new undercarriages I'm in the middle of creating some new headlights.
-
No, it was not built to clear snow, only for dramatic effect.
-
It will come with scenarios for other routes, but no details yet. It will also apply to existing class 43's as far as I am aware so it should work in many of the scenarios you already have.

Another livery for you on this Monday afternoon!
Midland Mainline revised blue with old logo, new logo and debranded variants. On top of that, the 'R' can be applied/removed via the number of the power car.
From our forthcoming Class 43 (Valenta)/Mk3 Enhancement Pack.

Another (long) day of development draws to a close. Some exciting features in the cab are starting to take shape. Although we've still not shown anything of the exterior- perhaps a photo charter should be arranged for tomorrow?
Old meets...old? Decades newer purpose-built rollingstock being replaced by older, less suitable trains is not something that occurs too often

Just a reminder that the stream above starts in one hour. https://www.twitch.tv/armstrongpowerhouse it will be available to watch after the stream. I hope this will be as much fun as the video for the Wherry lines was.

GER Y14/LNER J15 COMING SOON
Driving/firing the J15 will require skill, or else this will happen!! I ran out of steam before reaching Weybourne. -
The Valenta will apply to BR Blue/Grey, Executive, and Inter-city liveries for sure, but also could be many post privatisation liveries as most power cars were only re-engined after privatisation, although a few got VP185's in BR days as a trial. The last PC's to have Valenta's were Network Rail, which are now MTU. All of the midland mainline PC's have VP185's and a few western mainline under a BR trial, they moved to the midlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_43_(HST)

https://www.facebook.com/armst…/videos/1536665983028202/ getting close now it would seem.

Yes, this was always planned, a VP185 pack will come as well. AP pro HST Valenta Pack
-
@ 'Matze L' yes it is the same here, around 40 euros for a Acme/LS coach and 30-40 Euros for a Roco coach at the moment. The price of ACME/LS has come down over the last few years.

We've been after this one for a while and today we were finally able to record it!
Probably will be later in the year.

Now updated to V1.06
1. Corrected error in the “Raildriver Sensitivity” setting not working correctly (Thanks to Crrispy for pointing it out). All users of V1.0.4 can try setting this to zero and then if you get any jumping of the lever in the cab, try incrementing it by 1 and try again.
2. Made updates to the manual in the following sections to better explain them.
Page 9 AssignedTo.
Page 11 Advanced Mode.
Page 13 Lever Map Error.As usual, all existing users simply extract the files in the download to you current folder overwriting all existing files.
Fixed error in “Direction” not working correctly when set to “Reversed” and “Use Notches” set to No. -
@steveb6664 Yes, I was lucky. I drove them between Edinburgh and Aberdeen in the 90's. It was like driving a fast powerful noisy sports car over a country road, without having to worry about traffic coming the other way.
-
Yes, in real life you would hear a clatter in the cab as the wheels crossed the points. Personally I hope he does a Valenta pack, because for me the Mirless and VP185 engines had no soul, give me a screaming Valenta every time.
