Posted it in Screenshots but not much interest.
Should I go ahead and try to get permission to upload from the 3d model author?

John Dibben I believe is doing a new Class 31 and the ABDA group is doing new 20's, 33's and I think (don't quote me on that) some new peaks, which will allow for new liveries etc.

And they will be doing various 31's other than the ones John is doing which is the original liveried ones, John being a bit of an old fossil and all

Poo

I'm saying nothing except I've been working on them for the past few days after not working on them for many more

I'm working on something a little special for them which might or might not work and might possibly give 4fps in the middle of vast stretch of moorland

That's plan A and plan B is OK but I really like thought of plan A as I've never seen it done before

A pair?
I have known at least 4 different locos to work in the the combination. But your right, you can guarntee each week they wont make it from Cardiff to Brighton and back without fault!! My old man and about 2 others are the only ones left at Fratton who know how to fix them, so each week we put our hands together and pray that if they are going to fail, they will do it west of Southampton platform, or East of Chichester platform {thats the boundries of the Fratton depot area relating to the booked path of the 31's}.

Everyone i know thinks its because they spend days out in the cold, wet and wind at westbury doing zip until friday morning when they get switched on and thrashed all day - it cant be expected to do anything else than break really

Do we know if any progress has been made on the new Class 31 body? Looking forward to seeing some more 31's released..

The Class 31 loco created by John Dibben will be available in a commercial package within the next week or so...

An example is shown here -
