Hi
Although I think the route on ukts is still only version one.
Not sure about the Eurostar...that may have been updated since too...its one a few of the European sites.
Cheers
Jon

Edit
I think this is a newer version of Eurostar.

Thanks for all the help guys. One last thing anyone know anything of this train Nightstar, The train that never was or any other train of the tunnel that never was? http://www.banksofthesusquehanna.com/Nitestar.html

Unfortunatly, Dale Stewart, who sadly passed away two weeks ago was one of the project directors for this ill faited service.

I know a little about it- for one the generator vans which would have seen portions of the train internally powered when under diesel haulage are still sitting at Eurostar's North Pole international Depot. The coaches which are now in canada were reknowned for how difficult they were to couple as they were built to work with Regional locomotives for all the countries they would have run in. For instance Belgium, Germany, France and of course England.

Must try and dig some photographs out of these coaches... did have some around...

If you find some pics of the cars and locomotives that would be great. Would you happen to have any info on what type of electric locos were to be used as well as to how many cars the train would have been or what color the cars were goin to be etc?

This train when complete will be dedicated to Dale.

Its a shame Dale is not hear to help out.

Wasn't someone doing a Channel Tunnel Rail link route for MSTS? I remember reading something somewhere about one

Hi Tom !

It was Adam Lucas (Lucazone) who worked on one, I helped a little with the Dover terminal loops.

Stopped developing it for MSTS, intending a version for TMTS, I think and don't know what he is planning to do with it now.

Working on a version for KRS perhaps, I sincerely hope he is considering doing, I would be one of his first customers of !

O t t o

Ok, thanks

. I hope Lucazone does do a KRS version

And I just remembered that Just Trains do a channel tunnel route, but IMHO it's terrible. On my pc it keeps on crashing in certain areas. But the rolling stock is quite good, especially the TGV.

Hope this helps

Regards

Tom

i can confirm that the night star project was not to be MU's ie a eurostar styled train.

from Paris - Glasgow was going to be:

SNCF BB2200 class Electric, Paris - Calais
SNCF Class 92 Electric, Calais - Dollands Moor
EPSL 37+Generator Coach+37 Dollands Moor - Glasgow or whereever the nightstar was supposed to go.

Has anyone got a set of service/activity files (as supplied with the default installation of "The Tunnel") that have been updated to include the correct Le Shuttle etc. stock they would like to share

Me - I'm cheeky daft but would just like to save some time!
