He has just said on the previous page that it was the Merlin livery. Or was there a fag packet as well? Confused.

Aah no, I missed that post, must also be thinking of the Merlin

It was much easier when they all carried IC Swallow!

This is good news, Im sure I will be able to find a use for it. Thanks RS.com, there are FGW fans out there.

For my sins I am doing this reskin.

Anyone trying to do this livery with the base texture would fail, I know I tried!

I have added an extra poly layer to allow me to create the correct lines. I'll look to drop in a little screen shot when I fix my small task list. It is always the way, Just when you think you are done, along comes Adam and points out all your errors. I think he takes pleasure from it.

Maybe this mod will give us the possibility of seeing an NXEC HST with a proper buffet car too then...

Devs get the cool ways to cheat when a models current texture makes it a nearly impossible to do a certain livery right. *shakes angry fist*

[ghawk2005]

looks very nice but why is the front horn and light grill SOO bright and light silver? they should be darker, almost black surely?

Just thought I should point out that the GW Merlin reskin included with some of my scenario packs is by the excellent Stuart Gardner who unfortunately seems to have left us from the days of Rail Simulator.

Rik is going to be thrilled to see this livery finally available.

Coo! Yeah, ta, Bill

Rik.

[Wikkus]

I am aware of the connotations, gents, thanks for the information, anyway.

Specifically, Manuel, for this.

HTH, Rik.

Cool, ta, d.

Although, obv, Bill gave you the inspiration with all his hard work previously, right?

Cheers, Rik.

[RSderek]

Indeed, Bill's work is great.

Just like the black 5, this core model is over 6 years old.
Now, the mapping on this consist is crazy but times were different back then, (I would have shot the guy if it was done now!)

However, I still think though that this is a model that stands up really well, it did have a year spent on it mind by the artist!
I am lucky that I can add to it to make the new livery, reskinning would be to hard otherwise.
