Hi. I'd further like to comment on the 321 but this being VERY pickie one end says 321901 which is correct the other end 321905!!!

Again this is not vitally important I'd just thought to bring it to attention.

Thanks
Shaun

It's an EB trait, they do this a lot. If you've got any of ECE, WCW, LSC etc you'll see this is common on their EMUs.

The wires? As much as I am a critic of EB, I will praise when something is right and I am glad to see they have followed the lead by MT by doing electrified and non-electrified sections.

If you watch the video, look carefully from around the 2min 50 sec mark to 3min 7sec.

(Just a shame that default depot I hate is in there! ).

In general I agree with you Nial, what I was hinting at is, that they don't show you the "99 arches" viaduct into Wakefield Westgate station or the high level line Eastwards out of Leeds, as I understand they have not been modeled.
Would like to be proved wrong though as the viaduct is one of the most prominent features of the route.
Can't wait to rip up those track textures and replace them with my usual ones.

P.S. Local radio reported last night that Wakefield is to get an extra platform.

Strange as they did put this above the videos on the home-page...

I am sure you are all waiting for a more detailed glimpse of "Leeds Loop" , well here just a minute or two video of some of the stations including the viaduct at Wakefield Westgate !

As you say, they did, but I've just watched it again and I didn't see any viaduct.

i like the 158s sounds full stop. very good

EB sounds generally are pretty good.

passedcleaner · Post by **passedcleaner** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 12:53 pm

I'll second that. What they lack in track textures they more than make up with sound quality! And I know which I'd prefer out of better sound or track...

Pompeyfan · Post by **Pompeyfan** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 12:56 pm

i was very impressed with the sounds of the CIG on WCW and 171 on LSC, wasnt keen on the 319 sounds and less impressed by the 377 though. back on topic however i prefer the RR 158 pack that can be downloaded here, but seeing as the customer buys the route for the route and not the stock it doesn't matter. stock is a bonus really.

Tell you what, life would be SOOO much easier it that were really true !
