London South Coast anyone?

[ashgray]

I have knocked EB products in the past because of the low quality, but I think the least that people should do is wait for more detailed screenshots of LSC to be published before they pass comment on the route.

Regards,

Dan

I for one will do so.

I probably will buy it but I fail to see why they can't include all of the stock and liveries from the original LBE and WCW.

I would have thought they will put all the stock from the others.
I'd be suprised if they didn't.
Maybe someone can verify this.

I think the stock of LBE was made by people now involved in Making Tracks. So there are copyright issues, and Eb isn't able to add them to their new products.

There was an announcement on the old forum at EB that they wouldn't be able to use any of the old models, all would have to be rebuilt (Though I'm assuming the 960 is a re-skinned bubble car from Pageant's field).

So its a few items of stock then
Copyright issues is always a pain for the customer.

Dunno about the West Coastway stock, but all the L2B stock was made by Dave Babb, which is now with Making Tracks. I think Europeanbahn's current stock is mostly made by Peter Harvey.

Hi
I believe there is co-operation between EB and MT, so older trains may well appear in the new product.
I do not know which ones though.
I think this is still a CD, so there could be a lack of space for them all.

Yep being a CD with the massive route doesn't leave much space for stock .

[alisterbetts]

I think you will find these Freight loco's, EWS 66,'s, Freightliner Cl66's and GBRf Cl66's.

Probably the one mostly seen would be the GBRf 66's on departmental trains as they have a contract with Network Rail.

Also there used to 1 aggragate train a week,or as needed on the West Coastway Route, coming from Westbury and return used to run during the middle of the night. I'm not sure if it still runs.

Most of the freight on the orig. LBE route either went to a work inbetween Three Bridges at Gatwick (a few times a week) and one went to Purley as well (probably almost daily). So very few locos, everyone uses EMUs and DMUs

Hi All.

As I am in a position to clarify the stock included, I will do just that

DMU
Class 171/7 (2 car)
Class 171/8 (4 car)
Class 220
Class 960 (Railtrack Railhead Inspection Unit)

EMU
Class 319 in Thameslink Silver and Southern Liveries
Class 377
Class 421 in NSE and Southern (South Central) Liveries

The 319 and 377 are brand-new models for the route, and all stock has new or updated cab views.

Cheers
