New ZFA/HGA Wagon Repaint Pack

I have just uploaded a new set of repaints to the DPSimulation website courtesy of Richard Fletcher.

Utilising the PGA wagons that are included with the Class 58 DLC by Skyhook Games, these wagons depict the following......

A ZFA 'Gunnel' wagon conversion in civil engineers 'Dutch' livery - pre-1996 condition with older style BR OHLE warnings.

ZFA wagons in Dutch, Mainline blue, and blue/yellow liveries with post-1996 markings. 

And finally, recoded HGA wagons - in Dutch, faded Mainline blue and EWS maroon.

This pack can be downloaded from the 'Wagons' section of Richard's page by following this link.

 

Birmingham Cross City V1.0 – Now Released

I have now released the first version of Birmingham Cross City on the DPSimulation website.

Following the loss of a certain amount of data as outlined on this blog during the announcement of ECMLNE V4 earlier this week, and following an endless barrage of requests to release the Redditch to Barnt Green section as seen on Youtube, I have decided to release a first version of the route between Redditch and Longbridge for users to look at and evaluate, and understand the vision I have for the eventual project to Birmingham New Street and beyond.

It's hard to define a period in which the route is set, infrastructure wise the layout is from around the late 90's, but station signage and surrounding scenery will reflect the current period, this crossover should allow a broad period for the use of rolling stock without it looking out of place.

The requirements are as follows........WCML Trent Valley, Liverpool to Manchester and South London Lines which are all available from Steam, along with the AP Station Pack. Although this pack isn't available to download, it is included with a large number of popular routes available on Steam. The package also includes my Route Building Pack 01, please overwrite files when prompted if you already have this installed.

Basic Quick Drive is included in this initial version with an all new custom quick drive system planned when there are more route miles.

This all new route can be downloaded by following this link.

East Coast Mainline: North East - V1.4 Released

Following a challenging 2016 so far, I am pleased to announce that V1.4 of East Coast Mainline: North East is now available for download.

Unfortunately, it still does not include the full extension to Leeds but does include the not

insignificant 17 mile section between York and East Garforth. Following the good progress made last year, this is obviously not where I wanted to be with the route, but following the death of my mother earlier this year, at some point I inexpicably replaced all backups with the files from the workshop version, meaning I lost the majority of work between York and Leeds, along with some other bits and pieces that I had been working on. What has been released today has been an attempt to rescue the project somewhat and it should still prove as a reminder to the vision I still have for this route.

The new 17 mile section features Colton Junction where the ECML diverges towards Doncaster, as well as the stations at Ulleskelf, Church Fenton, Micklefield and East Garforth. Scenery is completed in full throughout and although scenery has been trimmed back in areas where there are cuttings and the surrounding scenery cannot actually be seen, this has no impact on visuals when driving from the cab or from near the train.

As well as the original requirements of the East Coast Main Line (Newcastle to York) and Great Eastern Main Line (London to Ipswich), the route also now requires the AP Station Pack. Although this pack isn't available to download, it is included with a large number of popular routes available on Steam.
