Morning folks,

I wonder if all 5 cars will be powered, as is the prototype?.
If it's like the HST, it'll accelerate like a slug, it accelerate away like the proverbial .. off a shovel!

.

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.

I see no reason it wouldn't be, it would actually be easier because they'd only need one simulation file per vehicle as they all match.

When you look at the earlier picture the line from below the windscreen is noticeable - Good

Hopefully DTG will correct the nose.

First time I've seen 180s working in multiple.

The great thing about a simulator! Seriously though, that looks a very good unit.

Happened a few months ago with GC and HT.

Perhaps so but it's the first time - "I have" - seen them.

They used to work in multiple when they were with FGW (the first time)

I would love to see a FGW and FHT reskin for this on DPSimulation. I would take this on a spin on the old GWML.

Only DPS...isn't UKTS good enough for you?

Free fast downloads or free slow to the point of dial up in a queue downloads. I can understand...

You kids today....no patience.....

and Dave, surely you're too young to remember 'dial-up'?

Back on topic.... this is the first DTG stock release for a while that's piqued my interest, despite not being BR Blue. I used to see GC 180's regularly around Halifax and Brighouse, and FHT ones when I worked over in East Yorks. Once saw a pair in multiple storm through Howden, there didn't seem to be any passengers so I assumed it was an empty stock movement but as the other guys have said multiple working isn't unknown.
