Yes - unless one or two slipped through the net, you will not see a GP38 Acela or KIHA cab on any of the activities!

I deliberatly wrote it that way, because if I said every loco had a custom cabview you would expect that each one is unique - they're not, but they are all about right for the class.

hmmm,

Is it well packaged? Like, with an Installer, or is it like a lot on here, many Zips and things?
I may get this, had version 1, but my train crashed (went into buffers) coming out of Liverpool everytime, lol.

But of course!!!!

Pop the CD in the drive, a menu appears.

Go throught the options in order (Readme, install Xtracks (if you don't have), install mag platforms (if you don't have), install the route, and install the stock and activity pack.

All self-install to the correct folders within MSTS (unless you have more than one installation, in which case they go to the last one installed)

(For those people who don't like such things, simply change the destination folde to a temporary location and see what's there, and manually copy/paste what you want.)

A 142 at Blackpool South...

...passes a certain well-known tourist attraction a few minutes later...

...before calling at Squires Gate for Blackpool Airport.

Leaving Moss Side

Passing Salwick, a DRS 66 is just arriving with a nuclear freight.

Crossing the complex ladder at the north end of Preston...

...before journey's end in one of the bay platforms.

Movimg back in time, brand-new D300 picks up a test rake of old coaches at Earlestown...

...before awaiting a path to start its test run.

Hope you like

What have you done to Blackpool Airport!

You've made it... BUSY!

EasyJet? BA? It gets 3 Daily Ryanair flights and a few Isle of Man/Belfast shuttles... I want to cancel my order... who knows what he'll make of Manchester when he gets there :shock:
