That has to be the only one then

If u look at the date [2000], it must have been a matter of only a month or so before the Swish livery was painted on them, as the swish liveries were introduced in 2000, and completed in 2002.

I know its WIP, but I assume your going to paint the side with mud, and not just the front LOL

The washer at Reading only does the sides, A man with a mop and bucket has to do the front...... and I'm not joking!

Great model, Could be the best MSTS model I've seen.... I certainly can't remember seeing better.

nah, im going to leave the sides. With the real ones, the sides arent generally that dirty, with maybe one or two exceptions. Most of the time the majority of the dirt is seen on the front and roof, where, as Forbury pointed out, the washers dont reach.

Its not to clear from the pics ive been providing, but the engine are bogies are on the rusted mucky side, so its been done to some extent.

So its not just the front. Not forgetting the airdam and roof are also dirty!

the ovel painted units are the class 165/1's
well i think so its either that or the 165/1's have the swoosh

Correct.

Also im not sure you can get an Oval livery TT Express either. So we have a new variant

with such an excellent train, we NEED a cab and sounds to go with it!

sounds are proving a problem. so if anyone can help in that department that would be great.

atm they are aliased from a default train, but not the khia.

Looking for sounds of the real train only.

as for the cab, well......cough

Why ?

Is there a new life threatening situation that will only be solved by having decent 166 sounds ?

Or is it that it would be nice to have them ?

life threatening

Not really, i just think with such a good unit, it would be great to have good sounds

LucaZone · Post by **LucaZone** » Wed Sep 17, 2003 1:18 pm

Sounds are something no1 has really cracked in MSTS. Its still a very lacking area sadly, and so providing for it is still very difficult

So agreed then, it might be NICE to have decent sounds then.
