Hi All, Just to let you know I have just uploaded the London Transport Standard Tube Stock to UKTS file id 21187. Waiting for approval. This pack includes its own unique sound set, driver, passengers, passenger views and arcing shoegear and requires no addons to be installed. It totals 55Mb so unfortunately may take a long time to download on anything other than broadband. Please read the accompanying manual on driving techniques to get the most from the sounds. I also created three scenarios to try out each varient of the stock on the IOW route for those who have it installed. Darren. P.S I've just uploaded an update to enhance the notching relay sounds in the cab.

You've done a marvellous job here, the Standard is without doubt my favourite tube train ever. As a child in the 50's I clearly remember going up to town from Hainault on them. The red trains to Waterloo with it's wooden escalators and uplighters which looked so scarily high to a child, and the green steam train to Surrey. What I recall is the smell, the Venetian blinds behind the driver's cab, the saloon lighting glass lampshades, the plush seats and armrests, the moquette, the curved corners of the door windows and the looped hanging straps, the blooop blooop blooop of the compressors and of course the red paintwork. I used to kneel on the seats ( do that on a 92 and you'll wreck your knees ) to look out the windows and then I'd get so upset when the train went into the tunnel at Newbury Park and it went all dark outside. One day we got to the station and the lady on the ticket desk said "If you hurry up there's a new silver one upstairs" - either a 59 or 62. It was so "modern" compared to the Standard. After that they started to disappear apart from the silvered up trailers that were running between the Cravens which had absolutely no suspension whatsoever, or none that I could feel. I was road trained for guard by the old school motormen on the 62's and they told me quite a lot about working on the Standards. I was told that it wasn't possible to "wind up" directly into parallel, if you did a circuit breaker would blow out with an almighty bang and would have to be reset. Also the guard would think he was the bee's knees if he had an air operated door. One motorman told me about an event on a Standard which got hit by lightning on it's way up to Epping, it burnt out. If I had a TARDIS I'd travel back to the 50's just to go on them again. There's a DVD which you've no doubt seen called " Tube Trains - All change, from Online Video. It shows that Standards being built and of course in service, some of it in colour..............

Thanks auxsetreq, I'd be in that TARDIS with you I think as I have never experienced the Standard Stock apart from once on the Island Line and I was to young to remember that. Online Videos "Underground Review Volume 3" which is what I used as my reference, has some excellent footage of the Standard Stock in service in London and the Isle of Wight. A very worthy purchase. www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/LTM/DVD/Underground/Product/Underground-review-volume-three.htmlI have all the pics now to do a proper 3D cab for the Standard Stock and that's my next project. Darren.

He was thinking of the old Central London stock. Standards could wind up to full parallel as they had automatic acceleration like 59/62s.

Here's a video taken from Heritage Day Part 1. Take particular note of the sounds and notching relay. I think I got them right. Darren.

That's yet a another great train you've produced, only problem is I don't have Rail Simulator. Not knowing much about building and programming, is it possible to for it to be workable on MSTS?

Thanks Colin. Sadly, I don't think the sound scripting of the same magnitude is possible in MSTS but Jimi (DrJimi) would most probably know. The same techinque I've used in this is also possible for the 1938 stock RPA controller noise, which I hope to make good use of in the future. Darren.
