Top Speed of King Class?

Probably mine, although I think Ben re-skinned them. Or he may have made his own.

As I understand it RW can't re-fill tenders unless the loco is stationary, which means the troughs can't be made operational as yet.

One day. One day.

Ah thats a shame, esp since MSTS had them.

TBH though I think that given the length of routes we have, a full tender should see you down the longest to date.

I really hope the idea of a 1950s Newcastle to York kicks off, it would be incredible. I've just started designing a 1960 steam scenario out of Paddington and whilst if you throw enough period stock at it and then squint a bit you could be fooled, its not the same as a proper period route.

Heh - go and watch "Let's go to Birmingham" and slow the part to OOC down - so much extra track!

I always wondered why the flagship Pullman service was driven by a milkman

Not to mention the Westway ploughing through what was row after row of Victorian terraces, an entire station gone missing at Westbourne Park and approximately 4500 industrial sidings between Southall and Langley

Is there a critical angle at which "squinting your eyes a bit" becomes "closing your eyes and imagining"?

It comes close! But there is something about hordes of Steam comming and going from a mainline station that gets me drooling. Besides as mentioned in another thread its nice to get the pacifics out on the mainline to strech their legs, even if it is a strech of the imagination to do so.

Agreed, had a great run from Edinburgh - Dundee with Tornado, I can only get maximum enjoyment when the sounds match the model, if there are annoying sounds the interest is soon lost!
