Thanks for that Doc. Would the 'toblerone' have been displaying any text during normal running or is it best just left blank. Cheers. Darren.

There is a little box at the bottom of the toblerone showing the saloon displays. When you put in a destination into the route box above the 'M' door it will show on the saloon displays. eg Destination is Cockfosters so saloon display will show "This train is for Cockfosters". The display can be cancelled by pressing the 3rd black button down to the left of the display. The keypad is for putting in auto-announcements eg "Stand clear of the doors" by putting in a number on the keypad. The auto-announcment list is the left one in Jimi's photo (the white one) with 25 different announcments on it.

I'm also on nights this week so bear with me if I don't get back to you all immediately.

Another update. I got the physics finished so it now 'drives' like a 73TS, and also added the lighting. Darren has been working hard on the cab, and driving it feels just like being in a real 73TS. I got to test out the current prototype this evening...

DRIVER'S EYE VIEW

A few more details to finish, but the new train is progressing very nicely.

Best to all, Jimi

Thanks Glen! Kudos is also due to Richard for the train itself. The 3 of us in the team are all passionate about LT/LUL stocks and, I think, inspire each other with our contributions to the overall 'product'.

Best, Jimi

Well said Jimi. Richard has created some fantastic stock.
Am i right in thinking the orignal 73TS cab controls are the same as the 67TS from the Victoria Line, they look remarkably similar in my photographs.

My appologies for missing Richard out, I must admit I thought I read the name in your origional post, but neglected to reread it when I posted.

thanks to all three of you for creating these models for us LT/LUL fans I sure we're just as passionate about having them on our systems are you are for building them.

Glen.

The train and route looks excellent Jimi! As always, I'll definately be looking forward to this one too!

willowstar, it's nice to see somebody else from the NYC-area over here too.

Darren,
Yes they are. That's where the "Auto" on the barrel comes from.

No need. The refurb version is being worked on as I speak.

Oops, sorry! But still remain a great model with a great cab who remeber me my early days in London!
