These seat moquettes are just as I remember them (I got my first 'go' on an HST way back in 1978 so I got to see them in their original state.) The orange theme in First Class is particularly evocative of the decade in which they were introduced! What possibly doesn't come out in Trainz is that, whereas the lighting in Second was very bright, in First it was quite subdued and, I always thought, rather calmer (though possibly not helped by the orange colours!)

In all my years on the WR, i never once traveled on a HST set Paul.

Some great shots and adaptations on the Midshire route Mike.

Here's one from 1980 with a Newquay bound HST approaching St Blazey bridge crossing.

Would this be a modified version of my route, or your own?

It's fudginator's 1980 reworking of your route Mark. I'm helping out with it.

I sent you a couple of messages via British Trainz regarding reskinning a sign for this. Would you mind if I did?

Cheers,
Innis

Whereas I must have clocked up well over a couple of thousand WR trips between Reading and Paddington, Mike, right from the early days, before they were even officially rostered but would run occasional services ahead of the new timetable, up until late 2005, when I moved to Scotland permanently. Six days a week in each direction over several periods each lasting a year or more, as well as occasional trips on the ECML Midland main line, and later using Virgin Cross-country services.

The one thing that can't be captured in 3D is the sickeningly acrid smell of the original resin brake blocks that used to permeate the train whenever they were applied: really nauseating!

Some 48 years later, I still use the survivors occasionally, since some of the Scotrail Inter7City services formed of two power cars plus five coaches serve my local station.

Another one from 1980, sort of and it is a WIP. I forgot I had a rake of CDA wagons on the back of the 37 so not entirely correct as they didn't arrive until much later that decade.

A 37 approaches the unusual Middleway Bridge Crossing with its time travelling CDAs.

All my traveling which was work related in the London Division was 90% dmu orientated buddy.
I lived in Langley (nr Slough) in those days. Not a HST destination

More or less the same post as my last one, this time with the signal box (or ground frame as it was known) reskinned to more closely resemble the original and the trackside scenery finished.

@IsambardKingdomBrunel, What station is that last shot? Almost thought St. Pancras for a minute but that is not London, correct? Excuse a yank for his ignorance.

 

[IsambardKingdomBrunel]

@Forester1 It is a fictional route (not mine) with fictional names buddy.

Moreton General i think the in game name is for the station.

No excusing required, i know next to nothing about North American railroads

Been working on the Northfleet Hill side of the North Kent Line.

Here's a Class 707 heading to Gravesend:

And here's the opposite side (no trains to see in this one though):
