BR Class 402 2-HAL

[gptech]

Suffice to say I don't have much of either and already have a project on the go.

That's fine...we all have other things to do

but....

there would need to be a lot of reference material available like track diagrams and enough photographs of each location.I can already see Victoria being a bit of a conversion challenge, see this photo:

There's no need to explain why...you either can or can't. If somebody else with less of a call on their time can step in then it's immaterial.

unfortunately being new to TS2017 ,

Valid explanation... but everybody who's produced anything for any iteration of the game was new at some point. Nothing to stop you 'joining in' and bringing what you do know to the table.

I find it both odd and amusing that there can be calls for something 'to be done' but there's nobody available to do anything...where is "Disgruntled of Tunbridge Wells" when you need him?

Throw up a list of 'I ain't got a clue, but I'm willing to learn' parties and I'll guarantee that you'll get at least one 'I won't claim to be an expert but.....I'm up for it so lets see if we can.....'

All unrelated to any discussion about this particular stock item of course, so if anybody (anybodies?) would like to consider doing anything regarding a backdated route I'd suggest opening a new thread....saves cluttering this one up with arguments

Indeed. Remember travelling on the ten o'clock service back in the late sixties hauled by a 74.. Mk2A tso's, very exciting for an 8 year old!

It was probably a Class 71 straight electric instead of the Class 74 ED but it's one - or two - locos we could do with in the game

The Class 71 would be great for the Southern routes we have now and there is one preserved

im unsure where the HAL fits in with current stock available, The last HAL sandite/deicers were withdrawn years ago, Has possibilties on the NLL Backdate route.

She also looks the picture, guess some scrap runs can be set up in scenarios and dragged around to be dumped ready for runs to cutters etc

But the 2 HAL lasted in to the BR Blue era and DTG have released a pack with BR Blue class 73, 4 Cig and class 09 also the 4 Big and 4 Vep were released in BR Blue/Grey
Technically there was no route for those items but it has not stopped the Scenario makers.

I presume you don't have WCML over Shap.
The Stations and Track are set in Privatised times with EPS 125 Speed boards but the locos and stock are BR Blue.

Does not bother me.

Well Pete I was only 8 years old and it was a very long time ago, plus I was never a trainspotter!

Hi
The HAL's don't really fit in the NLL backdated route,as the EMU's were Ex LMS EMU's,the SR Trains at Richmond were 4 Subs,and 2 Bil\Nol's,

The Hal's were mostly used on the South Eastern Division,they were built in 1939 for the Gillingham \Maidstone electrification scheme.

These will work well on the Coastway and Horsham section of the Steyning route I'm building.
