Hi
Has anyone noticed the two coloured 76's on the loading screen. Where did they come from?

Regards....Phill

Probably either Wath, Sheffield or Manchester...

Can't say I'll be personally getting those, they look as though some 5 year old has had their crayons out, are those proper reskins ??

They may not be finished, but they will give us base models to work from if not. Thankfully it is possible to script off the horrible overlaid lining.

The Black 76 included with the Woodhead route is a top quality product with it's realistic driving controls and working switches so i'm willing to get these knowing that some of the more talented members will produce some great reskins.

I am aware there are some in the works based on the black version, but I think an air braked MW fitted version is top of the list for most people.

The model and functionality of the 76 is superb and one of my favourite driving experiences in the sim.

It's 77's I've seen on the loading screen - count the wheels

Yeah I was going to say, the cabside numbers are a bit of a giveaway as well

They do look rather good

Wonder if they'll be a free update?

But then again, I already have plenty of nice BR blue MU'd ones, green and blue 76's and 77's.

Are the locos you speak of correct in the way they use a tap changer? I believe its temporary though. I was tempted to purchase them myself.
