From 1937 onwards 21 LNER G5 0-4-4T's were converted for vacuum controlled Push-Pull working. Three found their way to former GER lines and were converted to the GER's less than best cable operated Push-Pull control system using the sets that had previously been fitted to the three Y65s (F7s) they replaced. I did used to know which G5's worked in former GER territory. I imagine I made a note of it somewhere. Edit: They were 67279, 67269, 67322. They were originally allocated to Stratford, but they 'gifted' them to Cambridge MPD.

Anyway that was strength enough of a reason for me to have ex-LNER G5's at work on my Norfolk layout hauling my vintage litho ex-GER ex-LNER push-pull sets about.

Nicely done! Curious what asset it is that looks like a ruin on the far left of the first shot? To the left of the tower with the flag and the tree, right on the left edge. Curious about the tower too!
It's the Lavenham route and the tower is actually the great wool merchants church - a very notable landmark - kindly modelled for me by Jeremy Holland - <kuid:381430:2897> Lavenham Church Winter. The ruin is <kuid:225064:401314> Priory Ruins by shoves (not prototypical, but evocative!)
 
Hey guys it's been awhile and have you lot seen the new trainz roadmap, there a ton of British content on there including these angles.

Just a shame a Black 5 isn't in there as it wouldn't be that hard.
They're playing it fairly safe with those. The question is though are these going to be for Trainz Plus+ only or will they be available for anyone to buy?
 
I suspect the gold G in the bottom left hand corner is the answer, though I could be wrong. Unless they're some sort of a pack I would hazard a guess that the 8F and Jinty will be for Gold users.

Such a shame so lock some of the most advanced content behind a subscription based model, these models should form the bases of standards for TRZ models by now.

Erm i understand the part simularity of the 8 and 5 makes it seem that way, but as a Dev i must say it takes easy 200+ hours to make a loco, having simular parts shaves perhaps 20 hours off that, N3V have only a single in house asset artist, 3 locos this complex being made alone is a huge achievement and i am Very sure you will see even more exiting things through the coming year! But yeah please believe me when i say a loco is a lott of work, it takes a team of people, those familiar with the history of the loco to research them, someone to model and texture the models, someone to script them, then they need to be animated, tested, where possible sounds recorded, many many rounds of testing, then testing the models in game performance, so we can be sure they don't crash your computers and can run on the majority of devices! This is the exact reason my D Class despite having the model itself done 6 months ago, is only now approaching completion, Their really big projects locos, so sadly we need to temper our expectations of what N3V can provide when they also have to make content for Australian users, American users, pacific users, and eastern users. It is very lovely to have these 3 locos coming and to have helped with these projects :D

Does this mean the 9F is going to be made available to the whole community or is it just moving from Gold to Plus subscribers? Reserving the other two to Gold basically puts them on the shelf. I assume that, in two or three years time, they will be available for Plus subscribers? Obviously, no sessions involving these models can be uploaded to the DLS, which is a shame.
 
(Y14) J15 at Moxbury goods yard early 1950s. Retextured J15 by Paulsw2. The steel wagons are ex-WD 16T mineral wagons by Paulz Trainz.
Thanks for that Annie! Looking at it, it does look a bit dark (partic. the bogie) so I might need to take another look at it. Let me do some more experimenting....

Thanks Paul, - you're definitely heading in the right direction with your J15 refresh project.

And now for something a little different. I've been out and about doing some trip working on the Windweather Tramway on my Norfolk layout.

Crossing over the salt marsh.

'Jenny Lind' is one of Jay Holland's models and the three items of rolling stock are indeed by Paul and are from his 19th century series of models.

How silly of me not to notice Annie! It's amazing how Jay's locos can still look so beautiful after all these years. If he were still with us, he'd be proud to see his locos being put to such wonderful use!

I'm going to have to ask Paul about that Craven stock though. Something like that is far too good to pass up!

Glad they're doing a working condition 9F, gives us a bit more room to work with on BR era routes.
I do wonder whether they'll simply have that Jinty in LMS/BR Black or whether they'll include 16440 in MR Red as like a Preservation livery like the one made for TC3? I've got a real old Hornby 16440 model sitting in a box in storage somewhere, so it'll be so cool to have it on an updated version for T+
