I do love the videos of this add-on, like how the doors don't close all at once, as soon as it comes up, it will be an pay on the day (well might be evening if they release it while I'm at work) :lol:

I never seen these DEMUs (only seen the Hastings DEMU) but hopefully that will change next month, planning an day down to the Epping Ognar Railway to take an trip on the Class 205

Only a minor point but the bottom of the Cab Door is wrong - Inward opening doors do not extend to the full depth as outward opening doors because they would not be able to open..
Same applies to the Guards Van Doors and to All Mk 1 coaches and MU's.

These inward opening doors have been modelled as such, as can be seen by the absence of the lower blue Connex stripe below them.

When it's ready. It's not really fair for AP to put a deadline on their work.

I think that comment should read. "When it's ready it's not really fair for ANY developer to give a deadline on there work". Why is it not only fair to AP or the other developers making the thumper.

As we know dtg JT etc etc never give release dates for obvious reasons

Your point being?

This thread is about an AP product, thus I put AP. It doesn't mean I neglect any other developer, and Jordi has told you himself that he is part of the AP team on this project.

Cant wait for this, always had a fascination for southern units, so this is certainly going to give me alot of enjoyment. Especially with all the details, i think this is probably what ive wanted in train sim the most. If its as good as it looks, and if the rest of AP content is anything to go by, when you here the word "simulation" this is what i picture in my head :D

I can see that I'm going to have to clone your NLL backdated route to 1986 onwards, Xavier, to run this NSE livery unit in an authentic era setting. :D
