Atomic Systems

Buckinghamshire Train Simulator is happy to announce the forthcoming Darjeeling and Himalayan Stock Pack. The pack will consist of high quality locomotives and rolling stock, including authentic cabs and – subject to sourcing sound recordings – sounds.

The pack will contain:

•DHR 0-4-0ST B class, in blue and green liveries and a variety of numbers
•DHR 4-6-2 C Class, in green livery and two numbers
•A tender for class B No. 19 (778) as per Adrian Shooter’s preserved example
•A variety of rolling stock, still to be finalised, but including coaches and freight stock
•Some activities for the Ffestiniog Route (sold separately) which will recreate the visit of DHR No. 19 in May 2005.
•.pdf manual with details about the pack and the real railway

The pack will be available supplied in a DVD case as standard, and we are looking at selling these at £6.99 and also as a download , priced at about £5.00.

We are still in the early stages of production and will not, as yet, commit to a release date. No route will be included – due to the sheer length of the DHR – but the correct stock will be supplied for you to relive the visit of No. 19 to the Ffestiniog in 2005.

May I stress my thanks to andrew Lamin in the creation of the pack.

Further information and progress shots can be found at http://www.bucksts.com/dhrstockpack.htm - these pictures will be updated regularly

The class B has been subject to a great many variations since the first one was built in 1879, and it would be impossible to cover them all, but this one is too good to miss

When you said you had a surprise Andrew I never thought for a minute........

Looking good

Any news on Groudle?

Ben

Groudle is another matter - at the moment being held up by Abacus and lack of sound recordings - so I will not drift into that here if you don't mind

Not meaning to sound rude... but have you actually released anything yet?

I mean, a D&HR stock pack is a good idea... but we're still waiting for Groudle Glen!

Oh, just a though... to attract more people - it might be better posting the shots on your website here! That B looks damn good.

We haven't. We have no sounds for Groudle and we need them as we do not want a half-hearted pack, and I am failing to get hold of Abacus.

Wait untill Xmas and you'll get freeware for both MSTS and - probably - Trainz from different authors.

For this one Abacus is nothing to do with it as all models are 3dc and I have at least 1 sound file. Now can we please move on from Groudle - shove a question in that thread if you want one answered!

Anyway now Groudle is - I hope - cleared up in the GGR thread can we get back to these stunning models?

Jon,

I am really looking forwards to these models, now all we will need is an accurate (well as accurate as possible) version of the DHR for MSTS you know that I'll have to get this once it is available

Cheers,

All Good Fun.

Thanks allot Dale.

It is woth stressing that this pack is donationware - although we are having correspondance issues with the DHRS so cannot put them as the benefactor as yet.

Very nice looking stock, Andrew.

Browsing youtube you will find a lot of railway related clips.

You will find another four clips by doing a youtube search: "Darjeeling toy train".

Out of interest, will the final piece have animated sanders (see the last video)??

Lookin good.
