Did you really write (and mean) that?

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.

Are there any new steam locos to look forward to?

But the route is set in the present day

......you'll have to wait for Merseyside 3 for the steamers.

If not the easiest thing to do is remove and keep safe genpasswagsteam/modern.sms files then copy and rename 2 of the UK sound sets to replace them

I too have ordered one and gagging to see it

i have played the first versions to death

I personally don't remember permissions being asked for for Trans Pennine and IC Midland liveried Mk 2 stock, although permission was granted for 58020.

Interesting stuff, anyone like to comment?

I expect it was a false assumption on my part, for which I can only apologise. Terry gave me a list with all the stock authors, and those that had agreed highlighted in green. (For me to contact the rest)

Seeing your name in green against 58020, BR_BDA, BR_OCA, AM_304036, I assumed your reply to Terry had been similar to all the replies I got - namely "yes go ahead, use anything and thanks for asking"

I am sure you can understand with 430 stock items, and many having two or three people to ask because of repaints etc., it was a mamoth task and I wouldn't be surprised if other similar mistakes have been made.

I can assure you that this was purely an oversight.

Parkside, where the L & M crosses over the west coast main line.

Brand-new D300 passes a Cravens DMU near Earlestown.

Passing a class 40 freight, complete with brake tender, on the WCML at twilight near Winwick.

Approaching Wigan.

I have had one E Mail from Terry, requesting a fix for the lights on 58020 and a request to include it on the CD, you should have a copy of the E Mail Alan as you were on the CC list.

NO further requests have been received. I also assume Mark Wiles has been asked permission with regards to the Class 304?

"Purely an oversight" is a bit of an understatement.
