MatrixTrains-Caledonian 12W Grampians

[gopher]

More stuff in the works. A Caledonian Railway Dia 97 Brake Third. Amazing vehicles that had a very long life, and could even be seen in the West Country and down at Euston.

These look amazing Gordon. Looking forward to them.

[ceebeeuk]

Oh my. These look superb. Where do you get them from please? My main interest is in the late pre grouping era.

[gopher]

Thanks chaps. Ceebeeuk they are not available yet, I'm still building them . Other MatrixTrains carriage sets are available from the Steam Marketplace from the Store in the sim, or from Dovetail Games own store.
Meanwhile further progress on the Grampians. A Dia 95B Brake Composite and the high elliptical roof version of the Dia 97 Brake Third. A shot shows the differences between the earlier flat roof and the elliptical. Only 2 inches higher.

Better and better.

Do you have an estimated release date?

[gopher]

Better and better.

Do you have an estimated release date?

Just finishing the Dia 95, then after about a weeks work to do the other liveries, they will be off to DTG where they will undergo testing before release. Can be a month or more.

These look magnificent in either livery. I have absolutely no use for them but put me down for a set. Lovely work.

If you are interested in GWR\Western Region or LMS\Midland Region they were used on Glasgow to Kingswear\Penzance Trains,so you might be able to use them
