IMPORTANT: Scottish Central CD

[Backfoot2002]

The CD only needs the Mk2 coaches replaced.

What is needed is someone to co-ordinate the work.

To get permission for existing repaints of the EH2 coaches and request the missing types.

And to edit the consists and test the activities.

Who wants the job?

Did you read my post Ian?

It'd be nice at the same time that the CD's stock as a whole got an overhaul - most of it has been superceded.....or am I wishing too much?

I've always thought Scotland is quite well served with MSTS routes - Scottish Central, Highland Mainline, Ayr - Stranraer, North Glasgow, Far North, West Highland, Carlisle - Glasgow, plus a couple of others that are around and the forthcoming MT route. A veritable feast of routes

Quite right Ash, Scottish Central, Highland Mainline, Ayr - Stranraer, North Glasgow, Far North line, West Highland and Glasgow Carlisle v2 routes and forthcoming Scottish Central Express, so there are plenty of routes to choose from. All but Ayr - Stranraer are available from UKTrainsim, but Ayr - Stranraer are available from http://www.train-sim.com. Not to forget that another route is Fife to Edinburgh 0.8 beta, which is Scottish Central all started. Another route is Northern Rail Routes v6 that brings to Scotland as far as Bettock and Annan. It is in a semi-fictional way and not stunning, they have electrification to Annan! Those are the routes..

Scottish Central has scenery and terraforming in Edinburgh and Fife, with the Famous Forth Bridge and the rest having been unfinished, nut despite this, it is one of the best and most popular route. The route itself is still available in the download section. Thankfully, I bought that CD 3 years ago, and was one of my favourite route.

One of the commercial packs, LNER Pacifics, was produced by BATS which ceased trading last year, contained 14 activites including some for freewere Scottish Central route even!

Yes I have the CD and to make it look even better, I have populated some of the areas, where no scenery has been added. Unfortunately, because I have done this to my own copy of the route, I am unable to share it with anyone, but it certainly enhances the route, from the devoid areas.
The Firth of Forth now has some shipping traffic and a helicopter hovers over the bridge. Most of the stations have buildings & Platforms and there is quite a lot of vegitation along the bare parts of the route. I have still a lot to add yet, but it is probably not as good as Kerr would have made it, if he had finished it.

I have the all the Bats LNER Packs and like you say, there are a few activities for the Scottish Central included. I will be doing another Fraps Video soon of Forth Bridge Action, but this one will have the added scenery items which I have placed on the Forth.

The Forth Bridge is one of the biggest object to be made in MSTS, crossing over the forth. Here we see a Class 150 passing the Forth Bridge with a clear view in the north sea...

As for repaints of the EHP MK2's which I edited the skins on a set identifiable by having 3 quarterlight windows (not the 4 q/l MK2Z or Air Con MK2F as these are Tims) I've no objection to these being used, it would need a skilled painter but you'd probably need Tim's permission to include on a CD even though he'd OK a repaint. Not sure whether the grey's have been released for these yet though.
