XC- continues

[Gavin-D]

Should anyone be interested, I saw a MML HST set running as a XC service up to edinburgh at Durham on Fri (25th). All stock was MML livery except the rear power car which was in the new XC livery, so it is in service.

I noticed the other day they have modified the drivers door window. It seems to a split window now which probably allows them to open it.

aye, i think ive seen it on some other power cars with National Express but i cant be 100% certain.

Anyway.... ive gotten round to finishing the HST, I'm going to upload the Power Car on its own, and release the coaches seperately when they are actually completed at Donny Wabtec.

Downloaded the model today, but there is one problem about the roof. I have spotted a hole on the back roof that you can see the gaurds interior.



Also, the door window on driving cab;

The answer is that the door window on driving cab is only featured on Cross-Country sets, so the NXEC and EMT sets dont have the feature (and others).

I noticed that too. Looking at the ace file, seem there is an alpha channel there for some reason. First HST with a sunroof?

Looks much better now, Carl. I see you also improved the guard window also.
