UPDATE Darren's still working on the cab for Sarah, and passed me these new renders. Enjoy...     And for those who missed the screenshots of the loco in MSTS...    Our thanks to everyone who has contributed photos (old and new) and first hand knowledge and recollections to help us create this. More news as it happens. Best, Jimi |

Quick update. I have now managed to export Sarah from Gmax into 3DC to use it's rendering potential and very good it is aswell. I'm going to try some bump mapping and i still have a few more details to finish yet. Darren.  |

Just a quick update. Nearly finished the front views now. I love the lighting that 3DC and Povray Provide.  And one for driving by moonlight at night  Darren. |

AS I'll be implementing advanced lighting and 'change ends' (cabs), it will need Bin V1.7 or later (exact BIN version we test with will be noted in the release info).

Long time since an update, and over a year since we started! Darren recently finished both the original vacuum braked cab and the current air braked version - so I got to play "Acton Works" and bolt it all together. The screenshots below show the latest incarnation currently out on test with the District team. While they're beating up on it, I'm now writing the Motorman's Guide, so we're prety close to release. To make it look 'period correct' (in both the original and current versions) I included both Dreadnought and Mk1 coaches in the shots (kits for these available on UKTS). MODERN VERSION LEAVING EALING COMMON HAULING 4 X MK1 COACHES  MODERN CAB - AIR TRAIN BRAKES + WESTINGHOUSE LOCO BRAKE, DIGITAL SPEEDO, AIR GAUGE  ORIGINAL VERSION HAULING SOME DREADNAUGHTS THROUGH KEW GDNS  ORIGINAL CAB - VACUUM TRAIN BRAKES + WESTINGOUSE LOGO BRAKE, NO SPEEDO, AIR + VACUUM GAUGES  AUSTERE CAB (SPARTAN AND FUNCTIONAL) - NICE ATMOSPHERE FROM DARREN  As she's dual-ended you can drive from either end cab (change ends). Lighting uses latest MSTS BIN to provide 'end-sensing' lighting. Physics is as close as we can get it, thanks to input from several LUL experts. More news very soon... Best, Jimi (on behalf of the District Trains Team) |

Uploaded to UKTS and Train-Sim.com, so likely available for download very soon. The new common LUL sounds kit it requires was also uploaded. UKTS File IDs are 19220 and 19221. Please read the included InstallReadme and the Motorman's Guide for more information. Our thanks to the professionals on this forum who helped us with the information and phosts we needed to get it done. One of the forum members also has the honor of 'virtually' driving her as we used his likenesss as the Motorman's figure Best, Jimi |

Another nice piece of rolling stock to add to our collections. had the loco out a couple of times, boy it's fast on it's own!!! all I need to do now is get the coaches to work and see how it runs "in service"
Thanks again Jimi and the rest of the team for your hard work, it just keeps getting better and better.

I've got the Mk1 coaches working, what a difference in speed and braking, you can really "feel" the extra weight of this train. This is going to take a bit of practice to stop "on the mark"
