Another update to the website to reflect the latest developments, which remind me that I need to get back to Mr Pontin regarding his tank engine!

Beautiful modelling - a worthwhile project in so many ways

Rod

Much appreciated Rod!
And to prove your point:

A troop train consisting of a LBSCR E4 and 5 GC carriages from the État Belge passes through a dogfight between a Sopwith Camel, a SPAD S.XVII and a well known Fokker Tri-Plane.

Love the dog fight

That Tri-Plane appears to have been causing us mischief again, Sir...

But we were ready and waiting for him!

High Command has trusted me with the task of informing the public about the release of the NER Wagon Pack by Caledonia Works & Darlington Works.

This is brilliant news, especialy as our Great War Scenario Pack

Great War Scenario Pack [2213506 bytes] - Great_War_Scenario_Pack.rwp File ID: 38934 Date: 01 Jul 2019 - 79 Downloads

is set on the NER.

But this is not the only good news, as Caledonia Works & Darlington Works have decided to include: The infamous 'Rectank' wagon, specifially build to transport, as the name suggested, tanks and extensively used by the ROD in mainland Europe in 1916-18. And they have also decided to include just such a tank.

This means, that you all can expect for an update to the GWSP to be released soon, which will not only update the existing scenarios, but also add at least two new scenarios, useing this extensive wagon pack.

Hurray!

Due to an issue with the NER Wagon Pack, the release of the new and updated scenarios will be delayed. But work has continued and I'm happy to show you this:

With MatrixTrains announcing to produce a pre-grouping version of their NER & GNR Non-Corridors I've decided to wait until their release to enhance the scenarios even more.

But it's not finished there. I've decided to make seperate versions for those owning the AP Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack.

Just wanted to send out a friendly reminder to everyone out there that we are still looking for creators to help us with costum assets and rolling stock.
We still have an unfinished model of the WDLR Baldwin by Kevin Martin, and we are still looking for someone with the skill (and programms) to finish it off.
We'd also like to have several reskins for the project, some of them would be usefull for our current 'Great War Scenario Pack' (see link in the previous post).

For those of you less skillful with creating, we'd also apreciate help with the resurch.

So anyone interested, please join us on this project, and help with creating an unique route for the Train Simulator community to enjoy!
Don't hesitate to contact me or sem34090, we'd love to work with you!
