I have started a what if? project to depict the Woodhead route under LNER operation in the 1950's or in other words nationalisation never happened, so purist are free to avoid this or start shouting about heresy if they are inclined to the witch-hunt side of things
. Anyway my interest in the LNER has only grown since first buying the Woodhead line when it was released and since then my poor photoshop skills have improved somewhat to the level that I can create LNER re-skins without them looking too atrocious. I have mainly started this topic to get the opinion of people here on what is to be included in the pack and as a place to put ideas/requests from you other members. And also as this combines scenarios with a heap of re-skin's plus ideas to be contributed general seems to be the place for it.At the moment the pack includes the EM1 in apple green with matching MK1 carriages in green and cream. the EM1 cab has been re-skinned swapping the dials for new ones with L.N.E.R instead of a B.R prefix and I have been working on the coal wagons to see if improvement can be made there in terms of making a slightly less boring livery, my ideas for that so far are sticking a LNER prefix just above the weight information and adding a couple of weathered examples. For the 21t wagon I have had an idea to stick a black arrow on the side of it to create an express coal service because of the green arrow container freight on the ECML black=coal is my logic so black arrow, with blue, red ect for other express freights similar to the rail freight sectors under BR. With steam stock RSC have helpfully provided a fully appropriate stable of ex-LNER locomotives and I have the Austerity for shunting duty across the line, all that is needed is to stick some apple green paint on with LNER ovals on the tender. Now the LMS will feature because it is really hard to leave them out due to London Road being their station and I plan to have the rolling stock included with Woodhead repainted into Crimson Lake and LMS Roundels stuck on the side to make the traffic look appropriate. Other Ideas would be welcome from the people here.
Seen below is the new and improved from my simple repaint last year EM1!
As well as being able to recreate the past as it was, or the present as it is, a game allows you to depict your own fictional parallel universe, or even future. Very creative work and nice reskins.
