Gentlemen
This is a model of a Class 45 'Peak'. It is not a 10000. You are attempting to not simply to stretch the bounds of credibility but distort reality.
It's the Flight Sim equivalent of saying 'well, a Spitfire looks a boit like a Hurricane and all we need do is paint the Spit in the markings of a Hurricane squadron and we've got ourselves a Hurricane'.

Stretch the bounds of credibility? Give over, we have a Class 166 doing things waaaay more out of kilter than this. At the end of the day it is the choice of the reskinner and those who want to download it.

Thankyou for the constructive answers. I had anticipated comment about the body shell and bogies. On the class 45 I have the leading axles on not too obvious the other three being highlighted with colour, I understand the EM2 used the same bogie design as the 10000. Regarding the body shell I thought the general shape was similar particularly the shortish nose section, the bits I thought would be a problem are the access doors in the ends and the assorted windows including a round porthole. Now I wonder class 45 body, class 50 sounds, EM2 bogies!

Has anyone heard any news on this?
Was driving Riviera at the w/e and it got me thinking about the lumbering great 45s & 46s...

I would say Liverpool to Manchester judging by the unbranded Merseyrail sign on one of the pictures.

The one is shot at Mossley Hill, surprised to see a table in the carriage screenshot, looks a little cramped. Also, the blue colour needs to blend a little more subtly than it seems to currently. Other than that, lovely, really looks the part.

They need to work on the blue of that livery, doesn't match up with the coaches at all at the moment.

In BR blue days it was quite common to have several shades of blue in one train, depending on where they were painted, how long ago, and which batch of paint. Sometimes the differences were quite subtle, sometimes very obvious.

I don't understand why they've put a MK2 passenger screenshot there as WIP, it's no different to what we have, unless of course they've added raindrop effects to it, but that's not evident from the pic provided, or maybe they've changed default sounds
