  • British Thumper DMU coming from AP

    Latest update from Facebook;


    We are currently applying the finishing touches to our Class 205 DEMU Pack. It's taken a little longer than expected but do not fear, that's only because we've packed even more in than originally intended!


    To tide you over until release, here's a shot of 205015 in Network SouthEast livery, complete with 'Oxted Line' decals.


  • VR BR101 AFB

    Have a read through this thread on UKTS http://forums.uktrainsim.com/v…1&t=144952&st=0&sk=t&sd=a you will find some information there from Maik that is not here. Something was said about AFB, but I can't remember if it is the thread on here or UKTS. In fact you started the thread on UKTS, but not sure if you are still following it. There is also info on VR's facebook page, but I think most of it has been reposted in the forums. Personally I am not a fan of AFB, I prefer to drive the lok, AFB makes me feel like a passenger, but each to their own.

  • SHG British GWR Star Class Dampflok released

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/376952




    n the late 1890s the Great Western Railway were seeking new locomotives as part of their post-broad gauge conversion modernization. The newly appointed Chief Mechanical Engineer of the GWR, George Jackson Churchward, sought out designs for modern steam locomotives that could serve the Western network far into the future. His first success came from the 2-cylinder prototype known as the Saint Class which, from 1902, would go on to serve as the standard 2-cylinder design for the foreseeable future. This gave Churchward the desire to experiment with 4-cylinder locomotives, which could help make a fleet of even more powerful locomotives. Churchward convinced the GWR to acquire a small handful of four-cylinder French steam locomotives for comparison.
    The first four-cylinder prototype appeared in April 1906 as No. 40 and with the Class being named the ‘Star’, No. 40 was named North Star. No. 40, much like the Saint prototypes built by Churchward before, featured a 4-4-2 wheel arrangement with the standard 4-6-0 being only a simple conversion away. Various aspects of the design were influenced by the French locomotives and the wheel arrangement was eventually converted into the classic 4-6-0 by November of the same year. This was decided after reports concluded that the 4-4-2 design would suffer during low adhesion or with heavier loads. A clear indication that the Class had set the standard four-cylinder design was the prototype itself, which would eventually be rebuilt into a Castle Class locomotive in 1929.
    Following the success of the prototype, several series of Star Class locomotives would be built between 1907 and 1923. Each series was given a different overall name despite them being part of the same class; for example, after the first batch of 10 locomotives, known as the Star series were produced, the second batch were classed the Knight series and this trend continued through each batch of locomotives. Each batch saw various differences between them, however underneath the standard Star Class remained.
    The final Star Class, 4072 Tresco Abbey, was built in February 1923. After this Class had ended its production run its successor, the 4073 Castle Class, continued on the numbers as a more powerful express passenger locomotive which originated from the Star Class. In fact, as many as 15 Castle Class locomotives came to be thanks to Star Class conversions (including Tresco Abbey).
    During its prime, the Star Class fleet operated mainly as an express passenger locomotive, hauling the longer distance journeys at higher speeds than had been seen before. They literally were the ‘Stars’ of the Great Western from London to Bristol and beyond. That was however until improvements were made upon its design and the more powerful Castle Class – and also eventually the even more powerful King Class – began to take charge of the top link expresses out to the West. Many of the Star Class locomotives were displaced to secondary operations while the new Castle and Kings reigned supreme, however the most reliable of the Stars did last in service well into the 1950s.
    Eventually, the end was approaching for the Star Class, those that hadn’t been scrapped by the mid-1950s were rebuilt into the Castle Class and the final two that were still in service were withdrawn by British Railways in 1956 and 1957. Out of all the Star Class locomotives, only one has been preserved and it is done so in a static state; 4003 Lode Star can be found today as the sole survivor of the Class under the protection of the National Railway Museum, a non-working exhibit that treasures the legacy behind some of the most iconic GWR locomotives in history.


    The Star Class for Train Simulator features 19 examples of the locomotive from both the original Star Series and the following Knight Series:
    • 4000 – North Star
    • 4001 – Dog Star
    • 4002 – Evening Star
    • 4003 – Lode Star
    • 4004 – Morning Star
    • 4005 – Polar Star
    • 4006 – Red Star
    • 4007 – Rising Star
    • 4008 – Royal Star
    • 4009 – Shooting Star
    • 4010 – Western Star
    • 4011 – Knight of the Garter
    • 4012 – Knight of the Thistle
    • 4013 – Knight of St. Patrick
    • 4014 – Knight of the Bath
    • 4015 – Knight of St. John
    • 4017 – Knight of Liége
    • 4019 – Knight Templar
    • 4020 – Knight Commander


    The GWR Star Class locos feature alongside the Collett 4000 Gallon Tender in both Clean and Dirty GWR liveries. Complex features such as steam heating and steam injectors are included alongside Driver Assist to help you get straight into the action. Composite, Brake Third and Third Collett “Sunshine” coaches in the GWR Shirtbutton livery will also be included along with one TS Academy Tutorial and four Career scenarios for the Riviera Line in the Fifties route (available as part of TS2016).

  • Alpenfreight's Simple Weather Mod

    Re-post from UKTS with the authors' (Alpenman) permission;


    Hey all, I originally posted this over at Railworks America but I thought I'd share it here too http://railworksamerica.com/forum/posti ... 0&p=190645
    I have been working the past few weeks on improving the 3D weather system introduced in Train Simulator 2015. I have finally reached the point that I am happy enough with the changes to show everyone what I have done.
    This mod aims to improve the color of the sim and create a more realistic effect than the default 3D weather system.
    Main Improvements include:
    -Much more blue and realistic sky
    -More prominent clouds
    -Larger sun and moon
    -Higher contrast and saturation
    -Darker shadows
    -More intense rain
    -Darker nights

    Installation:
    Backup All Files before continuing!


    Copy the two SilverLining files to your Silverlining directory:
    RailWorks\data\SilverLining


    Load a scenario using 3D weather (or quickdrive). You MUST have dynamic clouds enabled for the 3D weather to work.

    Credits to DrMagnumWolf for detailing out some of the rain parameters in his post here: http://railworksamerica.com/forum/viewt ... 62&t=15627


    Please let me know what you think. I hope to continue improving this mod as I believe there is still a lot that can be done with SilverLining.

  • GWR Saint Dampflok and Travelling Post Office from victory works

    According to a post on UKTS it will be a simple matter to enable these coaches to work with any locomotive. So a fantasy DB green re-skin for instance, would be possible and it would be simple to modify the necessary lok. However it would only be use-able on single track lines as we run on the wrong side :D


    Here is the original post
    "Nothing so complicated as nodes etc. It's just a case of renaming the default script of any loco, referencing that script in our 20 line add-on script and renaming the add-on script to the name of the original one.
    Then you paste 3 new controls in the loco bin and job done.
    It took me 10 minutes to do all 4 E-K 1950 locos in both liveries, so 8 total.


    It can literally be added to ANY TS loco at all, hence why we think a nice set of TPO coaches in BR blue might be rather fun."
