TEA Bogie Tanks

Post by Ooveecouk »

With the release of the TEA Bogie Tanks nearing I thought I'd open a thread so that you can discuss it. I've also created a wallpaper if you wish to use it; download it here.

We've added a last minute feature (sorry Adam!) and now the tail light actually flashes like the real ones (or as close as possible). Hope you are as excited as we are, we've spent a lot of time on these and we aim to please!

Keep your eyes here http://www.oovee.co.uk/en/store/products/tea - you'll also see branded liveries pop-up on UKTS in the morning.

I have to say, they are absolutely immense, the sheer weight/physics are very impressive. The Class 66 with a load of 30 loaded TEAs couldn't manage 30mph, just as in real life, when the rake gets cut down to 20 if a 66 deputises for the booked 60.

Just to add, the Branded Liveries are superb. I have some scenarios nearing completion for the TEAs which will be uploaded to the file library by the weekend.

Have to agree, they are an outstanding product and extremely realistic as pacerpilot has said. Well done to Oovee for bringing this one to a release.

This has been worked on for a long time and will definitely be the best payware wagon pack yet, it's not just a few branded wagons, it's got it all built in :D
Though I've never heard of a company called 'VEE'. Is this your own ficitional brand?

Some while ago, I saw that and thought the same. However, look very closely and you'll see that it's actually a rather clever "device" in so far as it's both an "O" and a "V" together (the logo) and the logo represents an "O" that leads on to the word "Vee" to read "OVee". Once I'd copped on, I thought "Wow! That's rather neat!" :D

It's much better than the corporate logo of the company I work for which they paid rather a lot of money to some fancy graphic design company and was described by one wag recently as looking "like a squid molesting a football" which is quite possibly the last thing which an IT company might wish to be associated with.

With the logo it reads Ovee.

Here are some shots of the branded versions I will be providing.

Yes it is; it's suppose to look how it actually sounds rather than reads :)

Yes, hopefully. And I would like to take this chance to thank all of the people for their help with this project, including David Hossack (need I say what he did?) and Derek Siddle (hint above), Adam Lucas and of course Oovee's testers and RSC testers. Thank you!
