John that is a smashing Calder unit

Are you planning to keep updating the Caldervale line ? I think it's a shame that this was never finished (particularly as I now live in the area). There is absolutely loads of potential for activities if it was updated.

What happened to the other DMUs you were showing about 3-4 months ago ?

John,

I'd love it if you finished the Caldervale line. If you need them, I can easily go and get shots of the Mills Hill-Castleton area, if needed?

Hi David
Yes thats the plan....but its my first time in RE....and I'm very slow at it.
I agree its a route with lots of potential....I have to admit I installed it when I first got msts....but deleted it .....but now with better track textures and some moody enviro files...I think it doesn't look half bad.
The Class 110 are my favourite units....and Simon Barnes intends to model one...in the meantime I just made a 104 look like one.
The other DMUs I was playing with are still kicking about....but I'm terrible at finishing stuff.
The lightweight single car...I've promised to the MRC CD team...which should be out in the summer.
The reskinned 101 into a 120 ....it still needs the DMBS doing properly though....and I've not found a good photo yet.
My main area of work has been the engine and sounds....and I think I've finally cracked the msts problems.....so I'm hopefully negotiating a deal which will help the Railcar Association to raise funds.
Cheers
Jon

Hi David
Thanks for the kind offer....but my skills at RE work are very limited ATM....and its more of a "pet" project than an attempt to due the route justice....although all local information is always very usefull.
