Will it be in BR Blue Grey Livery? It would be nice to drive it on one of the branchlines on the upcoming MidEastPlus route,

I have memories of travelling on these from Hayes ( & Harlington) to Taplow in the earlyish morning; got a feeling of a decent train.
It seems v successful using the 455 cab together with the HST sounds.

However
On the model i am finding a lack of power - i can't get from one end of Elsenham to Thaxted, or back, due to the smallish inclines between with the 4 coach set; a journey I can do with Thomas, Anne and Clarabel!!!


Am i missing something??

Many thanks

Basil

If you have any problems about class 210, let me know and i'll see what i can do.
I might release the patch, but hopefully not.

Hi
I don't know, but when driving from the reverse cab the brakes are not releasing fully....... so that might account for the slow speed ?
Looking through the eng files there is a mixture of twin and single air pipes however changing these didn't help.......so I'll keep trying.
Nice re-skins.
Cheers
Jon

I have resolved the problem and upgraded to meet DEMU standard. Braking issues have also been resolved. Ill upload them as soon as possible.

Many thanks; I look forward to the new version.


(My previous comment on the journey from Elesenham was from the goods yard; when i let the set roll back to the station and then took off with 100% power I did get through to the far end achieving speeds towards the top end of the 210's speed range - however it was touch and go on the first incline!!! My practical memory of the ride of the real thing was of a powerful unit without all the clatter from the standard 107 DMU.)


Thanks

Basil

I have uploaded the version v1.2 just now and is currently awaiting approval. The changes i made is resolving braking issues. I have also added details to the 210. They have been tested with out problems.

Done the class 210 DEMU and has been released for a few weeks now. Now here is what happened to Class 210 after being withdrawn around 1987. Some vheicles from both units were converted to Class 457 Networker Prototype EMU in 1989. As a result, DTSO became DMSO. During it's carrier the Class 457 did carry passengers.

About the model, it is in it's final stages and will release shortly. We have granted permission from Ben Laws today. So watch out for the class 457!
