Railworks Fleet - A database of UK Rolling Stock

[cerbere22]

Hi evereybody,

I'm currently building a database of all UK Rolling Stock available for TS. There is still a looooot of work to do obviously, but I hope it will be a good reference for finding a specific livery or when you have a missing stock in a scenario and you don't know where to find it.
I hope you like it, and all comments are appreciated !

Cheers !

A lot of hard work ahead, I think, but a very good idea!

The difficulty will be keeping (anything like) up to date. Obo's US lists are interesting but fall far short of complete coverage.

Bonne chance!

That looks like it will be incredibly useful.
Duly bookmarked.
Thank you.

+1.

There is already something similar available:

[cerbere22]

Yes, but it is incomplete, and there is no details about the liveries.
My aim is to repertoriate all variations (I know that's a huge work !)

[davep]

A small request.

The links you helpfully provide to the stock - could you please make those open in another tab/window?


Thanks.

There is also this site which lists some of what is available for the UK and elsewhere and you get Pictures.

Just hold CTRL while clicking the link

At first I thought of adding pictures, but for some locomotives like the 31, 37 or 47, it would be too much.
The best would be to have thumbnails displayed when the mouse is on the link, if this is possible I'll try to do it when I finish the data collection.

Good luck with database but just out of interest, which route is that shot of Aylesbury from?

[cerbere22]

Thanks !

It's from the amazing "Chiltern Mainline and the West Midlands" route by photons66 (UKTS 33676)

Thankyou Cerber, I have bookmarked - a very worthy and useful project, although a large project so if you require assistance in compiling information for your knowledge base then let us know, I am sure everyone here would be happy to help / contribute if they can. Will you at some point when you are nearing the end of compiling the knowledge base be open to receiving suggestions of additional UK rolling stock / re-skins from us that we feel have been missed or might be worthy of inclusion? We could also help, for instance, if you decide to expand the database to include past stock no longer available we could provide details and screenshots.

Kindest regards and best respects, msmith4000

[cerbere22]

Thanks !

So now the last big "provider" of reskins to add is AP, I know deltic009 already collected all reskins from the scenarios packs but sadly the exact numbers for locomotives are missing.
When that's done, I'll slowly add coaches, wagons, and steam locomotives (the most difficult...).

Of course do not hesitate to report any omission or mistake, it will be a pleasure to correct it.

Many thanks for this but where does the GBRf 66705 Golden Jubilee reskin as shown in picture of the day 31st January come from?

Keep up the good work

Robert
