This is all great news Zec (and nice to see a new version of the 8F, do hope we'll see it in BR colours!) however, can I respectfully ask that N3V prioritise completing the models you've already offered as DLC? the class 47 - in 1960s and '70s 47/0 and 47/3 variants in BR green; pre-TOPs blue...

Thanks Zec. I hope we'll see some more BR blue stuff in due course. The class 47 definitely lends itself to some more versions (ie. without the high intensity headlamp, with headcodes, and in 47/0 and 47/3 variants.) But the class 08 is my favourite at the moment.

Query: is it bad to have a constant 30fps in Trainz? Do you really see a difference compared with 60fps or 100+ fps? My monitor's native refresh rate is 144hz, but do I really need 144fps? A vertical synch of 'none' in Trainz certainly heats my GPU, but is there really any benefit?

A busy -blue - morning at City Central: I'm thinking that the (unheralded) star of the BR Blue pack might be the class 08. Although the model doesn't take account of the many different variants, it nevertheless does feel 'right' for the most numerous of all diesel classes on Britain's...

I think a reskin of this model should be possible if George consents. I think the main impediment though is that the model is a BR version with a numberplate on the smokebox door. This could be blanked out on a GW version but could leave a remnant behind (unless it's a flat plane).

Well actually last Wednesday: on 1st October 2005, just after 3.00pm I found myself in the local Woolworths (can't remember why) and stumbled upon a game in the bargain bin. A snip at £9.99 For Trainz Ultimate Collection. The rest, as they say, is history (and 7 iterations of the game later that...

I've just rejoined Gold (as my Plus ran out). The BR Blue pack was there and I've successfully installed it.

I think that's pretty definitive - do not touch these assets!

Good stuff Rob! Notice how the nameplates on the green version are the wrong colour? (they should be red) We raised this and other issues literally years ago and they've never been rectified. Meanwhile, N3V continue to sell this model in their Download Store while washing their hands of any kind...

I take your point Mike. If they're insisting on a £100 a year subscription to be able to play this game fully, then that raises the bar on the DLC they're providing. Two versions of the class 47 in three years isn't good enough. There still isn't an option there for 60s and 70s modellers (like...

Thanks for the responses. Not hugely reassuring. Bit like spinning a roulette wheel. Hmm.

Shame that N3V are no longer monitoring these forums and so won't see this thread. Obviously the Discord is full of youngsters who love a 'jazz' font (as did I back in the day, but now I can't see them!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I'm not being blinded by the forums! (My optician suggested I may be developing a cataract earlier this year which they want to keep an eye on, so I have a sense of where you're at with this John.)

Good to see the Warship in some of your pics Mike. It's not a bad model (I was one of a group who were consulted during the development) but it's let down by some problems in the config (so you may have noticed there are no nameplates showing even though they're in the model). We communicated...

Yeah, I guess I was triggered, so that comment was a bit intemperate. Looks like I will be re-joining Gold this week so I'll be back at the elite level. But I promise not to sneer!
