It doesn't involve turnips at all in any way does it

Hi Guys

Looks like the cunning plan worked, we now have a set of dynamic numbers, names and headcodes that cover the whole class of 74 loco's.... 32 digits in all

5 .. ...loco number eg D1026
19 ....for the name eg ##WESTERN#BULWARK##
4 ......to chose the size of nameplate eg a### or #b## or ##c# or ###d .. (compromise to get it down to 4 lengths of nameplate a shortest d longest)
4 ......for the headcode eg 1V29

all in the CSV
eg
0,0,D1066##WESTERN#PREFECT###b##1M78
0,0,D1073##WESTERN#BULWARK###b##1O19
0,0,D1002#WESTERN##EXPLORER###c#1V27
0,0,D1004#WESTERN##CRUSADER###c#1V32
0,0,D1005#WESTERN##VENTURER###c#1V44
0,0,D1006#WESTERN##STALWART###c#1A51
0,0,D1007#WESTERN##TALISMAN###c#1A62
0,0,D1015#WESTERN##CHAMPION###c#1A73
0,0,D1021#WESTERN##CAVALIER###c#1A14
0,0,D1022#WESTERN##SENTINAL###c#1A25
0,0,D1023#WESTERN##FUSILIER###c#1A36
0,0,D1024#WESTERN##HUNTSMAN###c#1M47

Too Complex ?
Another question should each livery only have the loco's in that actually carried that livery ? or include all for each livery

Look fine Paul. More than we could ask for really About the liveries; if you could incorporate that the liveries only include the loco's that actually carried a certain livery, that would be nice. But I guess, if too complex, a 'Readme' with loco numbers & liveries would work as well.

Looking very good.

Any chance that they could display the loco number in the headcode box, as they did in later days ?

How have you got on with sorting the gearbox

[hertsbob]

Wow. I am convinced that you are some kind of genius!

Beautiful set of locos, no matter what the colours, names or headcodes!

Cheers

Bob

[torbayexpress]

I want to hear the sounds

[karma99]

Nicely done mate, I do like a configurable numbering system
And nice work on the loco, looks fantastic - even without steam coming out of it

[TransportSteve]

Just wondering what you guys think......

Looking at Brian's photograph, and then looking at Sly's screenshot, do you think the yellow end on his Western is just a shade tooooo mustard colour-ish ??

Cheerz. Transport Steve.

[FoggyMorning]

I'd say Sly has it just about right. The Westerns tended to get pretty grubby in later days and I think Sly's representation captures this very well

From what Sly has posted here it looks like you will be able to configure the headcode to display any 4 digit number/letter combination, which would allow us to show the loco number in the headcode box

Looking wonderful, really can't wait for this

Hello Sly

I realise that this is a WIP shot, but as far as I'm aware none of the Westerns carried the maroon livery with full yellow end as seen second left
Also, D1015 for a short period had an unusual T-shaped yellow warning panel over Desert Ochre at one end only

Well, I know the shot is in preservation, but D1041 certainly has carried it as seen here - http://gallery72347.fotopic.net/p10546361.html as has D1062 http://photosbyrob.photosnaps.org.uk/p40927535.html
Also, could we have the no yellow end (but yellow buffer area) maroon please as seen here which was a mainline livery - http://dieselhydraulics.photos.gb.com/p62483786.html and here with a modern shot to show colours better http://merlinsgallery.fotopic.net/p48485325.html

[deltic009]

Would have edited above post, forgot to say how great the loco looks and what a credit it is to your fine skills.

[phat2003uk]

Quite possibly the best looking diesel locomotive I've seen in RailWorks to date!

[RCH37401]

Thats a great method Paul, and they look brilliant. Certainly looks as good a release as your 9F, but they are all good really

Hi

Sly quite rightly picked me up very quickly on my error with this one - I was consulting a rather muddled livery table in a book

I too would like to see the full maroon with no warning panel version
