Hi
Thanks........ but I'm not really happy with the weathering yet.
The track textures are Russian........ well half (acleantrack1), the other half is still original Lydbrook....if I remember correctly.

Yep those are bats wagons !16 ton minfits" reskins off the svr add on, theres 2 sets fo reskins on there - just right for some to go behind rats!

May I be the first to say.... Well done JB - the downloaded installed models look far far better than I'd expected and, as Phil said above, the ploughs hide the lack of detail beneath the bufferbeam.

24112 delayed any pending work this afternoon owing to severe thrash over the Highland mainline and I suspect 25101 is shortly off down the Cambrian

Thanks Jon - now for 25317, the 1000th loco built at Derby?

I'll second AB's comments Jon although I've not had chance to run them yet.
Well done.

Chris.

[jbilton]

Hi
Thanks AB and Chris.
I've noticed I've boobed on the second 24....its got they wrong (earlier) headcode lights.
Are you running under 1.7 Bin....and are they slipping OK?
Cheers

Excellent work there Jon, really given my . old model a new lease of life, I wish i'd thought about the ploughs, I was never happy with the bufferbeam area.

keep up the good work.

Hi Mark
Thanks.......I was actually thinking how good the model was for its age.
Its one of the earliest models on UKTS.
So many thanks to you, from a grateful user.

Hi Jon,

I've just down loaded the 24 and 25's that you have done and they are first class, so far I've run the 24 on the Withered Arm route, although they might be wrong for Devon & Cornwall.

I think it was more 25 Country, although I think Southern region used some on the South Eastern Division until the Crompton's were delivered.

Now please please do some Green ones.

Hi Mike
There's a pack called '25052 and friends' awaiting approval (although nearly uploaded at the same time), and I haven't had an email to say there was a problem.
These are all West Country based 25s, so will be good for the Withered Arm and Bris-Cardiff routes.
There are a number of green models in the library, but I do fancy doing a dirty green ex-midland with a full yellow front and D5207 as preserved on the NNR.
Cheers
Jon
