Bristol to Exeter Screenshots

It could just be that the end user added the buffers to that particular reskin themselves to make it look more like a DVT? It doesn't have the cut-away section of the reskin; it just looks like the buffers have been bodged-on as it were.

Which brings things back nicely to what I said Rich, said person(s) have just pasted the textures over it. Thier scenario requires it, thats evidant, but they've not stated anything about it in the readme or the description (if you can call what the guy puts a description...), therefore (as I'm sure many know) the whole consist gets removed from the route once it reaches the route it requires to run on...but hey, It's just a thought. Correct me if im wrong, but is that not Michael's (from RWTS) textures ? I know he wouldn't do this sort of thing (Scenario with a repaint thats perhaps or perhaps not breaking the policy), but I'm convinced he did a W&S repaint for the MTU variant of the default HST ?

Aye pretty sure those are Michael's textures, it was in fact a request of mine. Don't remember him doing a Buffer version though.

Thats what I thought Mark, this is turning out to be a bit more complicated than many initally thought!

Yeah but if it was pasted over an OV texture, then it wouldn't show up in game with the buffers (as the scenario references the standard 43) without swapping it out. More likely the Buffers child entity entry has been added to the xml of the reskin. I've done this myself before in playing around the a GNER livery. I haven't managed to find a buffer reskin version in this livery anywhere. Even a certain 'depot' website only has a buffer version of the new GC livery.

We're kinda taking the post of topic now though...

Ah well. I'd better get into RW and do a screenshot of something else.

Wasn't someone (Tankski?) working on a proper Mk3 DVT? Or am I mixing some other project up with Ben Laws' upcoming MkIV DVT?

GNER buffered HST? Was there really such a thing? I thought all the buffered HST powercars ended up with Virgin Cross Country, before they got stored and then went to Grand Central and Network Rail?

Yup 43067 was(is). It was with GNER on ECML after the tests with BR before going to NR. 43067 is now with GC.

It's been a while since I las spotted a screenshot in this thread, so here's some:

I indeed am making a proper Mk3 DVT. there is a link to the dev. thread in my signature.

A Western heads north with the Plymouth - Edinburgh service. A working of over 10 hours and across all regions except the Southern.

Once I get hold of the right WTT's I'll do this as a 2-part scenario. First part on Bristol - Exeter & the second on Newcastle - York.

[stuart666]

Here is a few of a scenario Im working on for the route using a mix of various IHH assets.




Like the Western shot, I really must do a scenario for it.

It had completely slipped my mind that Bristol to Exeter is prime stomping ground for 50's, Westerns and Peaks!! Bring it on lads, those scenarios look great. I've never been able to give the Western a proper run yet due to lack of scenarios.
