Personally I think its a disgrace as there is nowhere near enough 37's there, we need more :)

No not really. My old PC, a Socket A Athlon 600mhz used to struggle when there was 5-6 loco's on screen at anyone time.
I had an activity on Modern England 3 which involved around 15 loco's at the London Depot and i was into single figures with that, sometimes even 1. Mideast didn't run great on it either.

On this though, with 26 loco's on screen i was still in double figures, usually around 150-20 although it did drop as low as nine on the descent down the hill into Finsbury.
As you say the loco's are a big performace hit though as on normal running on activities it rarely drops below 40fps and usually is well in the 50's.

Bit like me and my Class 40's, I think I have close on 60!, I'll be doing more 37's in RF/BR Blue and Green as the different variations emerge BUT also being careful not to "devalue" Mark's hard work by doing loads of the same variant plus of course I'll look at Mark's list before undergoing any reskin :wink:

Thinking about uploading 37068 (as 37002) but heavily weathered...loco is ready...anyone for a bit of weathering?

Cheers,

That Harry whatever you call it is present. Its coupled to the DRS's 37249 which i think is visible (kind of) in pic one, and the Police are chasing D6700 for running a red light (i.e. i've D6700 on my hard drive but not the Police one, me not likes).

- Oh, and that was "15-20fps", can't get over 60fps in MSTS.

The 37's are going to be one heck of a missed loco when they've gone...I mean they've been around over 40 years, I used to be able to hear them from my bedroom window..unmistakable but alas you don't seem to get at all on the GE line now.

PS - The only time I did'nt miss the 37's is when they turned up on the Mossend - Parkeston freight when I was hoping for a 40!
