London Overground 378's

Post by nutterjknights »

There is new pictures out of the LO Class 378's in issue 148 of The Railway Herald (link below). I know someone built the 378 for MSTS, but cant remember who, but here is some pictures for him to update the MSTS version

I saw this from http://upmain.fotopic.net/c1275420.html and saw 378001 at the test track and 378005 under construction at Derby works. The unit, 378001, has recently left Derby, and will conduct overnight testing at Shoeburyness.

More pictures from the link below;

I'm modelling the Class 375 at the moment so after that, i may do the updated 378 next.

Yes, I did the Class 378 a while ago (well a proposed version that is) :D

Is it me or has TfL gone mad with there "Train Gricers" data? Its great for us reskinning the trains, but do members of the public need to know these??? I also found the other day the information about the colours than bad to be used. There was there RBG values and there website codes, and the combinations that the coloures are for the signs etc. :) Oh buy the way i'm NOT complaining that there issuing this information

Think they've issued it more so for the media etc when they issue company logos and the like. It is also probably there for external reference sources such as printers so that they don't have to keep getting emails when they issue publicity items. Very useful sorce as they have everthing from stations, buses and trains even down to DLR! Think its because of this new Company standards thing that every one seems to be adopting. You print our logo or house colours, then you print it this way instead of what we used to do where it was a best match sort of thing 8)
