Maybe not to some people, but...

A. Does his FREEWARE model come with a custom cab (which I travelled god knows how many miles to do research for, in January... on a motorbike)?
B. Does it come with custom sounds?
C. Are the physics correct? (Something tells me they aren't? I have worked with real Bullied pacifics so i should know).
D. Is the detail up to standard? We have worked day in day out for weeks to get it just right.

I rest my case :wink:
Hello

I certainly wasn't trying to denigrate the amount of work that has been put in to this model, so my apologies if it came across that way

But thank you anyway for your detailed response :)

I just have to settle for Pictures, and Videos!
20 mins lates, but still gave us a nice blast of the whistle off the Chippenham Viaduct! :)
Someone said she set fire to the banks... though it was all hearsay from people "in the know" if you know what I mean.

Cheers.

as the aforsaid creator of the freeware Spam Can my own opinion is that DTs model is a big improvement on mine....and theirs has a custom Cab which my model does not. Both their Spam can and 4 MT are on my want list.

Again, thank you for the contribution

Personally I sometimes find it hard to judge the difference between various models from screenshots alone, and I still find some of the technical information a little indecipherable. But this is just my own lack of experience with train sims I think

Yes drowned out the Nunney Castle when the power was applied. Oh well will try for another next year.

At a guess I would say that there DT's Mk1's, I have seen no pics of any new coaches, but to be honest, how could DT better the ones they already have? :)

I should imagine their Southern Mk1 coaches to go with the Light Pacific but we'll have to see on Friday. I really can't wait to buy this, ever since I saw 92 Squadron at the NYMR I've felt in love with the Light Pacific. But £11.99 for 4 named Light Pacific locomotives and new Mk1 coaches ain't bad at all. Bring on Friday!
