Blue Pullman coaching stock

[ka959]

I wish to apologise to the guy who replied to my query regarding the FUDE activities and my intending to make some myself, and needing to know exactly what sort of stock was used over that area the route covers, as the reply went to my MSN Hotmail folder, and I often forget to check it, because I don't have MSN Messenger load automatically, because of the fact that it interferes with the built-in version in my Windows XP Home installation, and I can't seem to uninstall the older version when I installed the 7.5 version of MSN Messenger, as I thought would happen, and they both load unless I disable the loading of the 7.5 version, and as a result, I seem to forget to check for Hotmail... again sorry - I'll reply to the guy who obviously created the FUDE route, as soon as I get a little time.

My query here is about the Blue Pullman coaching stock. I got the two Blue Pullman Class 47 locos and installed them, but I'm not at all sure, after doing a search in the file library here, where to find the matching stock for these locos, in the same blue. Are they payware or something like that ?

I'd appreciate it if some kind soul could please offer me a pointer to these cars... I would have imagined the Blue 47 locos would have the correct cars included with them, but it's apparently not the case here.

Another thing I wish to query... regarding the Scottish Central route. I was VERY impressed at the outset, with the Edinburgh Waverley station and all the great detail around that area, for a way out towards the bridge, but later, I discovered route is mostly unfinished, with absolutely no scenery apart from bare stations over a large area of the entire route.

Yet, there seems to be a few activities available for this route, and I'm quite disappointed to say the least... what's the point of driving this route apart from in the populated areas ? It's empty and featureless from what I've seen so far. It could have been far better than this, and I'm puzzled why nobody else took up the reins and got Stage 2 created and available for download... it could have bween extremely good if the whole route was finished properly... that boring and unattractively endless embankment the rails run over, does not appeal to me in the least.

Is there another Stage 2 anywhere around that does continue this route, with more scenery ? If not, I put it down to yet another route available for MSTS that remains unfinished and a waste of time downloading in the first place.

Last query... is the London to Southampton route I think is in the File Library, finished properly as well, as I think I did download this, and discovered it had the rails on an embankment and only bare stations all the way from what I saw, and gave up in disgust, deleting the route from the Routes folder, but I still have the downloaded files. Is there another version that's finished, available now ? That said, I'll shut up for now

Regards...

Hi Jim
For a freeware Waterloo to Southampton etc you need the 'Dorset Coast' route by Dave Corfield.
The original L2S is to appear as a commercial route at sometime by Erail.
Scottish Central will be developed at sometime,again this may become a commercial route though.
The author is currently commercially busy building Great Eastern for Making Tracks.
Another fantastic huge route is Thames-Mersey by Dave Corfield.
Cheers
Jon

Jim it may be worth you reading this as to why the Scottish Central remains unfinished http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic.php?t=35990

As Jon said I think it will get finished

What he said, but the original London - Southampton is not what we are releasing, it has completely stopped and a long time ago. For your info Jim, the version that is currently on UKTS was not finished, made quite clear in the readme, so a fully scenerised route should not be expected. As Jon says download Dorset Coast as that is finished and all the way to Weymouth.
