It's been a while, but I often lurk about admiring the views, thought I would pop a couple up as I have finally reached TRS19 and things look a little more in keeping with the amazing standards set around here....Still getting used to the lighting in the newer versions, but it all feels a little more real now. Carlisle to Glasgow 1988-1996, still a WiP . A couple of shots of Carstairs and a Carlisle station line up.
It's a small world, until you start building it.

I used to work on the HSTs as a Guard and the beautiful TRS 22 HST brings back happy memories. Here she is heading north over the Victoria Bridge on the Leamside Line, with Penshaw Monument in the distance.

Possibly, as far as I can tell or see the 450 is near enough the same as a 350 but the 450 has a shoe pickup connector instead of a pantograph. I've no doubt someone familiar with 450's can confirm or dismiss that fact!
It would be easy to delete the panto and modify the DMCO bogies with a shoe connector.

I think the seating is different. 450 is 3+2 and, as far as I can remember, 350s are 2+2 (been a while since I sent on one though). Otherwise basically the same, 450s even have an empty slot on the roof for a pantograph. I'm pretty sure 350s and 450s originate from the same order and were built together. 444s are also extremely similar but with a different door layout.

Thanks for that info Ed. I think some of the 350's, possibly the 350/2s are 3+2, not sure though, I've never travelled on one! Must be like riding in a sardine can for the passengers!

That 350 is coming along very nicely Rob.
I regularly use the 450s. With their 2+3 seating, they were meant to be used on short suburban routes but found their way onto the long-distance Weymouth to Waterloo service. The 444s are much better in that respect. I suspect SWR use those on the Portsmouth Direct line. Such a shame they let the 442s go, so much more comfortable and a good layout of seats next to windows.
Kind regards,
Gary

I opened Trainz today for the first time in a couple of weeks and as I was working in Surveyor, things got messy. Switched to S2.0 and it's much easier to work among dozens of splines. While I find the majority of route building is done in old Surveyor, S2.0 is definitely much better in some respects. It would be nice to think N3V retain the ability to switch as that offers the best of both, though I suspect the feature will disappear at some point.
Thanks for the info and the compliment. Am I correct in thinking that the 350/1's have all yellow gangway connector doors and the 350/2's,3's and 4's have half black and half yellow doors?
