PC Class 90 Announced :)

If you want it to look like something banged-up in MS Paint by a hyperactive 5 year-old on a sugar-rush, i'm your guy.

I'm not exactly Tony Hart.

 

Took a while but hey let's be happy. It kinda looks it's almost done, we might only need to wait like 2 weeks. Day one for me

 

I’m thinking closer to Christmas rather than a few weeks. We had to wait a fair amount of time for JT to release the 86, so considering this is a complete new build from scratch, it might be a waiting game for the 90.

 

Sure, but the 86 also had the Mk2Fs and Mk1RMB, while I am pretty sure the 90 will be standalone and substitute some 66 services. Also, it looks ready, altough maybe the timetable still has to be done.

Well the 90 to me personally isn't even a freight loco, I am defenitely using it on WCMLOS, WCMLBC, and WCMLCP! (the last 2 acronyms are Birmingham Crewe and Crewe Preston)
Probably with Virgin or a Sleeper livery, like how TinTin did a Class 90 sleeper run from Carisle to Glasgow, defenitely fun to watch.

 

I've posted before about the 40s. So I'm in that minority with you as well.

 

Tging is when the 86 was announced, it was just renders in a modelling suite, whereas the 90 was shown fully textured and in-game

 

Frig me, they announce a new Class 90 and next thing everyone's piling on with their wishlists of great now we can have;

• Class 91
• Class 70
• Class 321
• Mk3 DVT
• APT
• Plus others no doubt

Let's be serious for a moment and just appreciate this good news about the 90

That said.... based on the statement that this is the first Class 90 DLC and that it is only really mentioning freight (and the photo's do not show the rubbing plate nor the drop buckeye) I'd say that this is the "primarily freight" version and that they would be working on a "passenger version" to follow as a separate DLC which would have the buckeye coupling and rubbing plate, possibly adding in the Mk3 DVT as well to sweeten the deal

Regardless it'll almost certainly be a day 1 for me

 

I wasn't even expecting anything else from ATS so this was a nice surprise.

Just shame that there won't be an opportunity for a particularly long run on WCMLs.

Definitely a day one purchase as I do love the class 90.

 

I've been wanting a 91 long before the 90 was introduced. My "all they need to do is +1 to it" post was just tongue in check

 

Yeah I got that, it was mentioned by others in a less tongue in cheek way though

 

Shhhh. That's an upcoming DLC ;-)

 

More Chas then?

 

Hey now, MS Paint was quite useful, I used to reskin lots of stuff for MSTS using MS Paint, oh yeah now it makes sense :/

Joking aside, I think the livery editor on TSW is so awkward, it is a shame that you can't just use Paint and import it...
