I went to MT's site yesterday for the first time (after finding them on google) and I got their freeware Voyager. It is a very accurate model built to a high standard although it does not have a passenger view. I used the passenger view from the Class 390 Pendolino availible from UKTS :wink:.

As we now have the West Coast Express route. There is scope to use this train in many modern era actvities for this route. Or if this route is not your thing then there is the Thames-Mersey route which looks cracking according the screenshots that I have seen. Not to forget that there is the Northwest England Route and Warrington V2 routes as well :D.

MT Class 220/221 voyager i just mentioned is the the latest Dave Babb's model.

The first one is rather not relistic and has a basic Voyager cabview by Daniel Wilkie that you control the displays and each side is a class 170 side. It has KIHA 31 Sounds too. The first one came in Summer 2002.

Class 220 were also released in fictional repaints. One such 220 Arriva Voyager has a passenger view. One thing that mention that Anthony Lloyd developed a class 222 Meridian / Pioneer, which was converted from 221
and added Class 390 Passenger View. The Cabview Still requires a basic Voyager cabview by Daniel Wilkie (file id 2207) to this day.

Making Tracks released 220, the first is Fife Voyager, which is exclusive to Scottish Central. The Springfield Voyager came out later as a download. It comes with class 220 cabview, much more relistic and the model requires 221 sounds. Recently, a new and improved class 220/221 came out, available as a free download from Making Tracks, unlike other rolling stock which is as a £5 Stock pack.

Europeanbhan also has Voyager in East Coast Express pt 2 in Virgin Trains Livery. The another voyager is also included London South Coast which has no Virgin on the side, and has EBR badge on the front intsead of Virgin. This Ended up as "EB Voyager"! This also happened on Leeds Loop (ECE 3).

I'm glad the voyager has been improved recently. Any way in real life, Voyagers will go to Arriva Cross Country from November, with some super Voyagers to Virgin West Coast.

Anyway thanks a lot.
