I trust the loco in these shots will be familiar. Possibly Richard's best work to date, I feel. Expect all the usual details to go with it (cab, sounds, physics). And we're still working on the Battery Loco (Doc recently managed to get us some live sound recordings!) and the R49 Stock... Anyone for Railtours? /Jimi

What can I say but 'WOW' ;D ;D It is indeed another excellent looking model. Another fine example of the work from the Virtual District Line Team (or should that now be changed to Virtual LUL Team? )

Thanks! We do indeed seem to be 'branching out' a bit, but I do have a few photos at home showing her on District metals (near ACT IIRC). Here's a few more from Richard depicting a test tour: Cab, lights, physics still to be done. There may also be a 'lite' version for those who's computers can't handle a 10,000+poly loco ;D

I need to get rid of Trainz and get myself a copy of MSTS.

Richard noted to me that he first thought he'd made Sarah too big, being used to creating our TS and SSL stocks. However, all is well as the pic below shows real-life relative scale. So now we have little trains, big trains and a very big loco ;D Best, Jimi

I didn't know that Hornby did a 1973 tube stock

The driver's POV will certainly be interesting in our new model - almost like standing on the roof of the TS! It occurs to me I must also re-check all the under-bridge clearances on the Virtual DL
