Can anyone point me to the \HST\RW_EastCoast 125 set required for the LaFarge scenario?

I've looked on the Railworkers site - and couldn't find there or elsewhere. Am I having yet another senior moment?

There are of course plenty of substitutes available - but I'm always intrigued by the ones I can't find...

Kind regards,

John M

Hi John,

Do you mean the "6A65 LaFarge" scenario?

I ran my version through RW_Tools and it does not list the HST set you mentioned at all??

The only East Coast stock listed as required by RW_Tools for my version of that scenario are:

Kuju\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\CR_East_Coast\Class43\class43_fgw.bin
Thomson\EandG\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\EastCoast\Mk3TFO\mk3tfo_ec_G.bin
Thomson\EandG\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\EastCoast\Mk3TRFB\mk3trfb_ec_F.bin
Thomson\EandG\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\EastCoast\Mk3TSO\mk3tgs_ec_A.bin
Thomson\EandG\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\EastCoast\Mk3TSO\mk3tso_ec_B.bin
Thomson\EandG\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\EastCoast\Mk3TSO\mk3tso_ec_C.bin
Thomson\EandG\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\EastCoast\Mk3TSO\mk3tso_ec_D.bin
Thomson\EandG\RailVehicles\Diesel\HST\EastCoast\Mk3TSO\mk3tso_ec_E.bin

Where did you find the "RW-EastCoast 125" reference?

Cheers,

Isn't the HST a Class 43 ?

[JustRight]

Isn't the HST a Class 43 ?

Correct

[749006]

Almost Correct.
The HST Power Cars are Class 43 but a HST set was either a Class 253 or 254.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Ra ... 54_and_255
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Ra ... s_43_(HST)
The 253 or 254 number used to be displayed on the end - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:254012_,_York.jpg
but these days it just shows the power car number, EC & XC - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:43251_Eaton_Lane.jpg
or nothing, EMT, FGW & GC - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EMT_H ... er_AB1.JPG

And there was the other one - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPT_(Train)

hope this helps

Correct

Erm... Not correct!

To be pedantic, an HST, aka an Intercity 125, is a DMU which consists of a number of Mk.3 coaches sandwiched between two single-ended Bo-Bo diesel locomotives. It is the locomotives that are designated Class 43.

There! Aren't you glad that we got that sorted?

Kind regards,

Thanks for the suggestion, Trevor, but no, I should have been more specific. I meant the "1A65 Lafarge Oxwellmains to Aberdeen" scenario by John Walsh for the Angus route, available from http://caledonianrailworks.blogspot.co. ... osgar.html.

My copy is dated 07/05/2014, and the accompanying text file refers explicitly to the Railworkers branding file. Maybe it's been changed - I'll download again and check...

Perhaps John Walsh can enlighten us?

Kind regards,

John M

That's what comes from living upside down on the bottom of the planet. My knowledge of UK rolling stock is somewhat 'limited'

Hope you find the errant HST set.
