Thompson interactive. WHR coming soon

I wonder if there will be a 'Royal Scotsman' touring set as default stock...

Hi there.

Doubt it as the stock list announced at the moment includes only the highland line green and cream set plus a variety of wagons and mk3 sleepers but I guess there is nothing stopping reskinners from having a go and making the set out of the existing stock that is available.

According to the Engine Driver article, the class 37 on the North Norfolk Line was used for researching the new model for the 37/4. Therefore one wonders as to whether the sound file for the 37/4 in the WHL add-on will come from this, or from another recording session with an actual 37/4. It has been proven within this topic thread, with the links to YouTube that the real 37/4 sound footprint is radically different to the older, unrefurbished 37, whether due to the electric system sounds or the very distinctive Bosch starter motor cranking sounds. This is a great opportunity to finally have a class 37/4 which looks right, let's just hope it sounds right as well. Otherwise I'm really looking forward to the release of this one (as are two of the women in my office who remember bashing the 37's in the 1980s)

Hey Peter, if you look at the Facebook gallery linked earlier in the thread, there is a comment from somebody questioning the sounds, and whether it will work with the AP class 37 sound pack. Keith has replied to it directly, saying that 'there will be no need for any other sounds packs [winking smiley]'.

So it sounds like he's pretty sure they've nailed the sounds.

Very exciting stuff!!!

The trouble is that there aren't any preserved 37/4s operational at the moment so DTG can't go on a sound recording trip behind one and DRS' are all in use or awaiting repair...

Isn't this set in the time when the Fort Bill beds were worked through to Mallaig?

37401 was until very recently in use on the Bo'ness railway. Presumably this route has been under development far enough back that one or two of the Thompson team might have made a visit.

True however it was mentioned that people from DTG went to the NNR to get the relevant recordings, etc. from 6732, but accurate sounds for the /4 could be sorted by AP once 418 becomes operational again very soon unless DRS are willing to allow access to one of their depots to do recordings...

What is odd on that? I though that Thompson Interactive was subsidiary of RSC/DTG after first releases that is?

New screenshots in the Kross Rails album.
In the past fourteen screenshots you can see the new weather system and new clouds of TS2015.

...is it just me, or does the new cloud system have the clouds just too low? I've seen it in quite a few pics now!

Low clouds or high land? If you've ever walked in the Scottish Highlands, or any other mountain area, you will know how low clouds can get - definitely below your feet.
