Sounds about right, these things aren’t cheap yet like you say we have excess to a wider variety of rolling stock for free. So in the light of this opportunity I might open a TSW model shop thread lol. Only the very best CC creators can be the Shop supplier. A little TSW model shop thread for only the very best quality models are on offer. I will have a think about, but imagine it, the quality of your work and others do need to be on display in one place I feel. Anyway I have to say this is one of the most exciting times in my life. I love it. Later man. ✌
RNPS15 ready for download on CC A rusty and dirty Habbins from the German company ERR (European Rail Rent GmbH) Enjoy !
I thought it means “Thank you very much”. Anyway got to dash, work to do. Like a lovely black 5. She’s beautiful And Vesta. Tat Tar. ✌
Ahh, quit Duolingo before i learnt that. And google translate isn’t responsibly accurate fully. Just checked and Vielen Dank and Danke Sehr mean the same thing
Some progress with the RTC test coach fleet..... I've now done 9 in total. 5xBSOs, 2xFKs, 1xBG and 1 mk2 FK. The mk2 can't be used with the mk1s because its air braked and the mk1s are obviously vacuum braked (The BG is dual braked so needs the relevant air or vacuum brake releasing before use). The mk2 can be placed at the head of a train of passenger stock behind the loco though as was the case at times so can still be used. They all have some slight livery variations in some way, shape or form to add to the variety. Some of the BSO aren't prototypical due to the model in game being a 5 bay coach and in reality some of the lab cars were 4 bay coaches. The mk2 isn't fully prototypical either as the real coach had some of the windows replaced by ventilation panels.
Added another three to the RTC fleet today.... All air braked examples. Two mk2 service/support vehicles and mk3 Test Car 10. The air braked part of the fleet now make a nice looking rake to run together. Also added a simulation of the large extractor fan that was mounted on the side of Lab 23.
I’ve watched a few German films in my time. (Only kidding) I love Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Old 80s UK drama series. That is set in Germany during a period of re building, again in the 80s. ✌
Here is some work being simplified. I will be creating a LCD display screen so the colours can be changed for each service or region it operates from. ignore the BR logo. That was me messing around with an idea. But you will see how each region is divided yet a unified livery across the networks. Express services like the 390 would have livery’s like the following. ….
…. It’s all great fun I’ve been tracking what GBRTT was doing. Something I tried to give you heads up on in the DM. But you choose not to be involved we me. Never mind a. Rigsby. ✌
I don’t know about “GBRTT” and you don’t have to tell me twice that I didn’t want to be involved with you. End of the off topic.
No but I did and tried to be a good community member be trying to be involved with others. Clearly is was mistaken that you don’t like like being part of a community. So I wasn’t offering you nothing now so don’t get to upset. Hence why I don’t DM. Gosh some people!. The topic was end long ago I’m just being nice as community members should be. Cheer up man!. I’ll avoid you at all cost.
I just watch Green Singals Is GBRTT still around though? Sounds like they may have been disbanded in March from what I read this morning.
Green signals? What’s that? And yes you’re right as the GBRTT has done what it was set up to do. All thats happening now is awaiting the proper go head as nothing has been officially confirmed as finalised. So did or have the GBRTT settled on a final brand identity. Because from what I read then it’s doesn’t appear as tho they have. If they had then I’m sure the public would have seen some evidence of that. As look at the brand at the moment coming soon. What is this a surprise after all the time GBRTT have had yet we don’t have a final decision or livery in operation. So yes they have disbanded I think, as I do follow but only on other keys elements surrounding the entire scheme set out in the governments plans. There again I’ve not been fully informed of the latest developments due to a Project I’m working on. Thanks for adding too Rigsby. ✌
The only confirmation brand wise as far as I'm aware is the use of the BR double arrows again.... GBRTT may have been disbanded but continued progress carries on internally within all of us non-private rail companies.
Railway podcast by Nigel Harris (former editor of Rail Magazine) and Richard Bowker CBE (former chairman of the Strategic Rail Authority). It's a very good way to keep update on the railways in the UK, I thoroughly recommend it. https://youtube.com/@greensignals?si=hlQ1TBclQEliiQUt

Yes this is correct, I believe they couldn’t find a positive outcome for all involved with that particular area. So why the BR logo is the only thing that is confirmed as of now. For again your are right in that other areas of branding have yet to be officially or publicly announced. Hence why we the public have only seen the livery MYG92 posted. So yes thanks for adding as I agree in what you say. And save commenting on all your post I will just say they look great, a lot of work gone into them. Well done Dave. I’ll defo be subbing to some, so thanks for creating and sharing. Rigsby. ✌
Oh right okay yes I read that on line magazine lol. So yes I know now, I never knew that about this so thank you. I will check it out then, because I do read that mag etc I get updated and feeds so to have more information about what going on means more knowledge. That I have you to thank. So again thank you Rigsby. ✌
Mate the first photo is S%#y a great photo. They look so cute together too hahaha. Great presentation man. ✌
I was a Key Worker. And I caught Covid that took 3 years to recover from and destroyed my life. No one has said thank you to me personally. We live and we learn. But hey don’t be involved with me that kept this countries water supplies safe and emergency supplies topped up. How ironic that you Thank Key workers as I supplied the NHS and all key services but you can’t be civil to me. So yes I will avoid. Lee✌.
My god you’re really insufferable you’ll never stop, can you just move on once and for all ? I saw what you did on the GWE remaster thread and I don’t won’t you to pollute this one too so like you said on your previous post, avoid me at all costs and let us enjoy this thread. It’s a beautiful and sunny day, go outside and take some fresh air I don’t know. Thanks.
yes mate i am also super proud of these creations but unfortunately i can't upload them to CC because of license issues between DTG and DB/vossloh i don't know exactly but these will have to remain private
and I have been on an early morning trip from Hagen Hbf to Wuppertal Langerfeld container terminal and delivered 12 empty sggmrss I took some nice pictures along the way
Pink it was love at first sight. Aerosmith Song lol. They look well ace man. I was never into stuff like this but I have to say you’ve made me open my eyes. Well cool man, definitely put a smile on my face. Keep them baby’s coming ✌
And hey I’m just making sure as I think some EU models come with the codes already on the lower frame. Yet if this isn’t one of those then I’m looking at the detail now and man your are working ya bottom off. The quality and level of detail is incredible. Catch you later on Brother. ✌
