I understand Dave, you stick to being accurate, your re-skins are damned fine pal. :)

Mind I have not been doing REskins-these most recent ones are Skins-Started with a white loco.

The Arriva livery is very smart so don’t worry... it will look great.


I actually think that the forthcoming 57/0 may be the best detailed diesel available at this moment...

Most likely it will be this evening, just keep checking Steam. Alternatively, someone will announce it here.

Looking at the screenshots and videos, the 57 looks great! But there's something confusing me... Let me explain.

From this screenshot of the DRS reskin:-
http://uktrainsim.com/getthumbs/d/david ... 57-DRS.jpg

570012 and 57003 have two different cooling fan coverings, looking at real life photos of the two, they both should have the ones that 57012 has, the classic class 47 fan covers. This isn't an attack at David Hossack btw! I'm just confused why the DRS 57s in RW are given two different type of coverings when in real life the /0s seem to have the original class 47 coverings.

57012

The metal grid type covers seem to be on the /6s (bar 57601) and the 57 /3s.

Now *that's* attention to detail :)

But -- stupid question -- was that a typo in the above? Did you mean 57009 and 57003?

Cheers, Rik

I think two have the new grills. They are a recent modification.

Edit - Beaten to it! :)
