That first shot IS a single car unit. The exhaust pipes run up the front.

BTW is the 45 coming for upload or is that to be included on the CD too?
I know you mentioned the 44s off Camden but you didn't say about the 45. Just wondering.
I'll say this.. I'm a bit conerned about the vast replication of similar locos and consists that will be dropping into my PC hard drive when I get the CD!

I'll certainly have some pruning of outdated stock to do

Something else I've been playing with...

The class 45 will be uploaded soon....as will a couple of 44s.
DMUs are still being worked on.

Jon,
Looks like the excellent cabviews we've recently been spoiled with, have spurred you on to create some quality reskins. IMO, the more Sulzer, the better

Cheers Phil
Yes those cabviews set me off....as soon as they're finished they'll be in your mailbox....please feel free to send them on to ab.......if he wants them.

That's great, really into the cromptons since the cabviews and now some activities loaded for LBE in BR blue era. I'm sure ab will be interested

Hi Phil
What would be usefull would be confirmation of where the exhaust is on the roof...as some models have it towards one end...others have in more towards the centre.
Cheers
Jon

Ps These are being setup as vacuum braked chain versions(with semi modified cabviews cvf files)...do you think there should be airbraked auto versions as well?
I realise the prototypes were dual from new...but obviously cannot do this in msts.

Jon,
The exhaust is in the fairly central position, just past the engine access panel in the roof towards the non-radiator end of the loco.

To be honest, I convert most of my stock to air braked auto coupling for ease of use with everything else. Not authentic I know!

Also, have modified cvf file to make ammeter work correctly, but still have notchless controller. Tried it with notches but it wasn't too happy with the Class 26 sound files I use (which I find more pleasing) Will send you a copy when I get home anyway.

Er, when built the Cromptons had their exhaust at one end (the no2 end - no1 end was the radiator end - as per Daryn's versions) later moved closer to the centre, I think, due to their propensity to catch fire. So, early green versions should have the exhaust there - will do some research but I think the exhausts were moved late-60s, probably around the time they were painted blue?

And yes Phil, send 'em on!!!!
