Class 37/9 is a completely different machine, rebuilt as a testbed for the never built class 38, different sounds and physics, like 47601/47901 is not really class 47

Volume 2 is looking great, just one thing I dislike, is the overuse of the red springs in the bogies, would look good in an ex-works livery, but in standard worn liveries, the springs would be dirty and rusty and you would not see what colour they were, its the one niggle in volume 1, every variant has the same red springs in the bogies, I don't really want them in volume 2

It should be easy enough to produce a reskin of the area with mucky springs, and edit any .geo's to point to that texture.

A massive number of liveries indeed, if you accept that (for example) changing the decal used to read "EW&S" rather than just "EWS" constitutes a full livery change.

Someone made a comment about the '8' on the headcode blind being in a wrong typeface..

From my research there were two headcode blind variants out, a difference being one with the compressed 8s, and the other with the very "fat" 8 - like AP has depicted. Some small other differences in character width were present. -

" I have got a couple of blinds which have been in 25254 according to the writing on the end and they do not have red blanks so it can work the other way around.

There were variations and some of these may have come about depending on where they were printed. There were also differences depending on wether they incorporated repeater characters or not, these being either side of the characters depending on whether the blind was designed for a roof-mounted display with sight-holes below, or a below the drivers desk mounted display with sight-holes above. There were also blinds with no repeater characters at all and these did tend to have characters printed much closer together, I have got one blind which has barely any space at all between each character." - Robert Chilton on Flickr

Also (not at all :D ) important to note that there were old linen material blinds, and newer acetate blinds.

I do wonder, however, why they didn't use the old rolling blinds from the Class 40 6 years ago :lol: This one is too jittery

As someone who prefers 1960s era stock the AP/RailRight Class 40 still has got to be one of the best locomotive packs out there.

The 37 Vol. 2 here also looks very well fleshed-out, but I can't justify the price as-is (no discount, I don't have vol. 1) for only the handful of liveries I have interest in.

Oh wow, that really is something...

Hard to believe, but I’m pretty sure this is the first time for proper WR green or blue 37s since I got a copy of TS

What does "proper" mean?
