The Class 55 Update - A Community Project

[slips in quietly at the back of the room] I once sat in a Deltic drivers' seat - I'm 5' 9" and couldn't see the bonnet at all. The ex-FP driver who was conducting tours said "it's your job to watch the signals up there, not the scenery down there!" I think he was exaggerating to make a point, but the fact was that from the seat I couldn't see the bonnet. Goodness knows how you kept an eye out for trespassers, but presumably if you're bowling along at 100 mph with fourteen vacuum-braked Mk1s behind you it's not as if you can slam on the anchors if you see someone on the track.

Have tried reinstalling the update after renaming the files it replaces in the default kuju deltic folder. Still getting the same unhandled exception error with a size mismatch message. Pressing continue doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone explain what I might be doing wrong? Many thanks.

I have found a Deltic view from the Drivers seat that does seem to show the Bonnet:

I guess it depends on how tall you are. I am 6' 4 so i would imagine that the Bonnet would be in my view from the drivers seat?

Okay, so tried downloading twice more. Eventually it installed. Presume it was a dodgy download.

Depends on the measurement from yer bum to your eyes...if you have long legs you could still be sat with a low eye level......

Isn't the camera man stood up in that clip ?
