Skyhook games also produced the BR class 07, and they are producing a BR class 58 as well. @Loco-Michel you were faster

AP have updated their sound packs for this add-on. From Facebook;

The following packs have been updated to support the recently released 'BR Blue Pack Loco Add-On' by Dovetail Games:
- Class 31 Sound Pack (Pro)
- Class 37 Sound Pack (Pro)
- Class 55 Sound Pack (Pro)
To obtain these updates, simply re-download from your 'Downloads' area

A post from JT on UKTS regarding the brakes on this add-on;

Info for those asking about the brakes:

We have conducted tests on the Class 222 Advanced model as regards brake effectiveness and its stopping distance against the specifications quoted in GK/RT0075, the official document which includes calculation tables for stopping distances used in signal placement and have confirmed that as initially supplied the brakes do allow the vehicles to stop within the specified distances, however in the up-coming service pack we have adjusted the braking effectiveness on the model slightly to reflect the fact that the Class 222 is a modern vehicle with sophisticated traction controls and can probably stop at less than the maximum distance allowed and now the train can stop in substantially less than the distances quoted for passenger trains in GK/RT0075. As a note the brake force is limited above 60mph. Once the speed drops below 60 full braking force becomes available.

No mention of when the service pack will become available

@NoFly it is quite possible for a train to derail on plain track (no points, crossing ramps etc) and if it remains upright and the brake pipe is undamaged there will be no emergency brake application. A sensible tfz who realised this was happening would try to bring the train to a halt without an emergency brake application to avoid the possibility of making the derailment much worse. Of course in some circumstances there is no choice. It is also possible for a train to derail and travel quite a long distance on plain track before the driver is aware of what is happening, passengers often have dificulty believing that the train has derailed and can be very slow to raise the alarm.If you have a powerful lok and you are using a lot of power you might not realise straight away that a vehicle has drailed.There have been instances of that here with both passenger and freight trains. Another special incident that comes to mind but is really off topic concerns a sleeper train the West Coast mailine. A class 86 and 10 MK1s at 80 mph ran over some concrete sleepers placed across the track. Every vehicle left the track, jumped over the sleepers and landed back onto the track without de-railing, A lof very frightened people and a big miracle. Sometimes our assumptions of how trains behave in such circustances are very different to reality. I have wintessed several derailments in freight yards and been involved in some, the results were often quite surprising.

@NoFly You do get brake fade at low speeds with disc brakes, but 60mph is not low enough, below 30mph is more likely.For anybody interested the group standards for modern train braking systems in the UK are here http://www.rssb.co.uk/rgs/standards/GMRT2044%20Iss%204.pdf but be warned it is probably a difficult read.

This was my post on UKTs it will give you some idea of braking values;

Personally have not DECIDED Whether to buy it or not yet. Regarding braking a train has to be able come to a complete halt within a set distance from a set speed, I would presume thatthis is now in the group standards, and the 2.5 miles at full strength is Certainly too long. An HST is capable of stopping in 1,930 yds from 125 MPH, a loco hauled Comparable formation takes 2,220 yds from 100 mph .According to the brake trials held in the early days. The HST at 125 which designed to at least meet the performance of a loco hauled train from 100 mph and comfortably exceeded it (Uusally, I am sure there are other drivers on here who have Suffered The Odd weak set). Of course the anti slip Could thus lengthen the braking distance, but the conditioning blocks on the power cars had a cleaning effect on the rail, I suspect These Are not present on a Voyager. Presumably the Voyager must at least be capable of stopping from 125 mph within 2,220 yards, I would like to think less with modern braking systems, Especially as allowance has to be made for anti-slip. Incidentally this thing on wet or dry rail. Have not driven the voyager for quite a while so I can not remember what the brakes are like myself, not seeking a fan of Drastic Plastic.
1 yard = 0.9144 metre

Mostly the differences in real life are cosmetic, functionally they are pretty much identical in real life. JT have said on UKTS that they would like anybody who feels that the brakes are to weak or feels that there are any other problems to contact support.

If you are confident editing bin files it should be possible. I suspect that a patch will appear in due course, but some on UKTS are also not happy to buy if the brakes are so weak.

In the past JT have said on UKTS that they believe the brakes on the voyager to be realistic and so will not issue a patch. Popular opinion is otherwise, hence the patch on UKTS.

Prepare to scream, they will come again - guaranteed

and SSS updates for his dampfloks

Unfortuntaely the former IHH models retain some of the original flaws, but it is useful, and no doubt AP will oblige with the necessary sounds/updates.

Just to clarify, the Deltic is driveable. It is listed as AI because that is how it is used in the scenarios.

Yes the Black 5 comes with the Woodhead route, a little surprise from RSC at the time. Like the black V2 that came with the Robinson 02 if I remember correctly, but wasn't mentioned in the manual. The description on Steam Sounds Supreme product page tells you this in the way it is written. It may not be so obvious if your not a native speaker, the same as some things written in German are not always so obvious to me.

Sorry you are correct, when I looked in the folder where I keep the SST original files I didn't see the RWPS. But still I think quite straightforward for somebody with your experience of TS. I hope you continue to enjoy the pack, the other packs are also a very worthwhile investment. The installers have changed with different releases.

There is now a project to backdate this line to the 80 * jippy * 'Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/nll1980s this is being done by the author of the freeware version.

Another one from the former IHH stable, hopefully with better sounds, but if not I'm sure AP will provide. These loks were developed into the class 24/1, and then the class 25. At different times they could be seen in pretty much every part of the UK.

I once had a coffin in the luggage van of my train, empty of course. Would have been good for Halloween, but I think that comes too early. Perhaps a bit too macabre for some as well. I look forward to the release.

The 59/2 is a new model with new sounds, different physics and driving behavior. Opening the window lets in the outside sounds louder. The locomotive is good, the Wagons unfortunately pity. But make AP these wagons Which are much better.

Darren Porter Seems to know whats coming, or is very quick off the mark. This line carries a lot of freight traffic between the different mainlines, so I would imagine that there will be a lot more freight scenarios to come.
