    Cheers David :). It is a very underrated route, it's just unfortunate that Simtrack's Class 104 never released for that route.

    Hello all, I have just came across this on YouTube...



    Thank you to YF Plays for the playthrough! It's really appreciated, and I hope you are excited for the next WCML South scenario (due for release in late February) :love:.

    I'll see you later on this evening for the next release announcement, so until then, it's goodbye from me :).

    Hello all, I'm here to announce my next scenario from the Creators Club Roadmap, Extra Regional on NEC: New York-Trenton :).


    Scenario Name: Extra Regional
    Route: NEC: New York-Trenton
    Train: Amtrak ACS-64
    Route covered: New York Penn to Trenton (full route)
    Duration: 1hr 15-1hr 20mins
    Difficulty: 2
    Scenario Storyline: A New Jersey Transit service has failed at Newark Penn whilst on it's booked journey to Trenton. Drive this Amtrak set empty to Newark to pick up the stranded passengers and continue the failed trains' stopping pattern to Trenton.


    Anyway, WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]


    Here is our service awaiting departure from NY Penn. Seems very unusual for Amtrak to depart from the NJT platforms... :o


    [​IMG]


    We cross this bridge on the approach to Newark. The passengers don't have long to wait now ;).


    [​IMG]


    Ah... here's the culprit. Of course it had to be the pioneer (#4600)... Amtrak to the rescue I guess :cool:.


    [​IMG]


    We leave Rahway and... cross onto the express tracks? We get a run on the express tracks until Metropark. Very peculiar pathing there... :o

    Anyway, I hope you are looking forward to this scenario releasing, I'm TrainGeek08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you next time for another CC release announcement, until then, it's goodbye :).

    After watching the above video, I found another playthrough... this time of this scenario:



    Wow! Two for the price of one eh? Thank you once again to YF Plays for the playthrough of 5F97! I'm very privileged to have been featured in not one... but two videos of theirs :love:.

    Anyway, I'll see you for the next release announcement, which I recommend that you tune in for, because the time and effort I put into the next release will blow your minds! With that thought set in your minds, it's goodbye from me ;).

    Hello all, here is my next livery pack from the Creators Club Roadmap, the CrossCountry Farewell HST Pack on the HST from Great Western Express :).

    What does the pack entail?
    This pack contains 3 CrossCountry HST sets with different liveries on each side of each power car. This pack includes; 43007 (43207) in IC125 Yellow/Blue, 43008 (43208) in IC Swallow and 43184 (43384) 'Laira Diesel Depot' in IC Executive liveries.

    Here is the individual durations of each PC + coaches:
    43007: 30 minutes
    43008: 1 hour and 5 minutes
    43184: 1 hour
    Coaches: 1 hour
    Pre-existing (cant lines, handrails etc. - copied from the GC HST): 30 minutes

    Here is the durations of each set (added up from the individual timings):
    43007 + 43184: 3 hours
    43184 + 43008: 3 hours and 35 minutes
    43007 + 43008: 3 hours and 5 minutes

    So, the overall duration of this entire project was: 9 hours and 40 minutes

    That is the longest I have ever spent in the Livery Designer doing liveries in one go!



    I've hyped this up enough, so without further ado, let's get to the announcement:



    Livery Name: CrossCountry Farewell 1 (43007 + 43184)
    Route: Great Western Express
    Train: High Speed Train GWG
    Route covered: N/A
    Duration (to make the livery): 3 hours
    Difficulty: N/A
    Scenario Storyline: N/A


    WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]



    Here is 43007 in its InterCity 125 Yellow/Blue livery. This looks stunning, it must be said. It is the easiest power car to do, but detail is still key on easy liveries like this :).


    [​IMG]



    Here's 43184 in its InterCity Executive livery, complete with Laira Diesel Depot nameplates! This livery also looks the part. The colour palette is absolutely spot on! :love:


    [​IMG]



    Here's a look at the front as well. It might look weird from the front, as it is a 50/50 split between the liveries, but what's on the sides will help take the attention off of the front ;).


    Here it is on the Riviera Line at the Dawlish Sea Wall, on an XC service from Leeds to Plymouth in its last few weeks in revenue-earning service :(:

    Livery Name: CrossCountry Farewell 2 (43184 + 43008)
    Route: Great Western Express
    Train: High Speed Train GWG
    Route covered: N/A
    Duration (to make the livery): 3 hours and 35 minutes
    Difficulty: N/A
    Scenario Storyline: N/A


    WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]


    Here is 43184 again, but this time on the other side. Any appropriate changes have been made when it was copied over from the right hand side to the left :).


    [​IMG]


    Here's 43008 though in its InterCity Swallow livery. Looks good, right? Gotta love some old-fashioned IC Swallow :love:.


    [​IMG]


    Here's a look at the front as well. Compared to set 1, this isn't too bad, as 184 and 008 have the same design at the front. Only difference is the red line from the Swallow livery of 008 ;).


    Here it is on the Cross-City Line on a diverted XC service from Edinburgh to Plymouth (due to the line via Tamworth being closed):

    Duration (to make the livery): 3 hours and 5 minutes
    Difficulty: N/A
    Scenario Storyline: N/A


    WIP shots await...

    [​IMG]



    Here is 43008 again, this time paired with the power car numerically before it, 43007.


    [​IMG]


    Here is 43007 again, looking grand as ever, regardless of what side it is on :love:. You can tell I have put a lot of time and effort into this, can't you?


    [​IMG]


    Here's a look at the front as well. Very different on the 50/50 split again. Still looks good though :cool:.


    Here is some screenshots of them lining up at the Training Center:

    Hello all, I'm here to announce my next scenario from my Creators Club Roadmap, 6X77 Mossend on West Coast Main Line South :).

    THE FORMATION(S):

    Formation Name:
    66 + Cars 2
    Route: Southeastern High Speed/(whichever German route the car wagons came from)
    Train: Class 66 EWS


    [​IMG]


    Formation Link: Creators Club - (TG08) 66 + Cars 2 (WCMLs)
    Required Livery Link: Creators Club - (TG08) GBRf '66783' (66) by TrainGeek08


    Formation Name:
    66 + FCA Short 2
    Route: Cargo Line V3 - Intermodal
    Train: Class 66 DBC


    [​IMG]


    Formation Link: Creators Club - (TG08) 66 + FCA Short 2 (WCMLs)


    THE SCENARIO:


    Scenario Name: 6X77 Mossend
    Route: West Coast Main Line South
    Train: Class 66 EWS
    Route covered: Wembley Yard to Bletchley
    Duration: 50mins
    Difficulty: 2
    Scenario Storyline: Drive 6-X-Ray-77 from Wembley Yard to Bletchley, where you will be halted... There is a signal failure in the Milton Keynes area causing backlogs of trains heading north and south so you can only proceed to Bletchley until the signal failure has ended. You will need to pick up your relieving driver at Wembley Central so sit there for around 30 seconds for them to 'climb onboard'. Maximum speed today is 60mph!


    Anyway, WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]


    Here is our service at Wembley Yard awaiting departure on the car train from the Ford plant at Dagenham up to Mossend (near Glasgow) for transportation to Ford dealerships in Scotland :).


    [​IMG]


    Our maximum speed is 60mph, so this will happen a couple of times on your journey today... :o


    [​IMG]


    It took me a solid few minutes to find the correct angle for this shot, but this shall suffice. We are overtaken by an Avanti Pendolino as an LNWR 350 departs Apsley bound for London Euston :cool:.


    [​IMG]


    You also run on the fast line between Tring and Bletchley due to track works on the Down Slow. It's a pity that you slip in front of a Liverpool service though... that driver would be fuming :mad:. Anyway, you get glimpses of a sunset between Cheddington and Bletchley. Here we are at Linslade with the sunset sky giving us a lovely backdrop! :love:

    Difficulty: 1
    Scenario Storyline: Take over 3-Tango-83 at East Croydon and take it to Three Bridges, where a shunter driver will take this unit into the depot for you.

    Here is our service at East Croydon, ready to continue its ECS move up to Three Bridges Up TL Depot :).


    [​IMG]


    We are passing Purley, as a double pair of 5-car 377s wait (having coupled up) to work a 'metro' service to London (from Caterham and Tattenham Corner respectively).


    [​IMG]


    Nice crossover of two 700s here. Ignore the fact it says it is heading to London Victoria... trust me, it is heading to Bedford ;).


    [​IMG]


    Here's my favourite shot! Talk about perfect timing huh? We pass Gatwick Airport Sidings as a plane comes into Gatwick to land :love:. Looks fantastic, right? :)

    Hello all, I'm back so soon eh?

    Just wanted to say a massive thank you to every single one of you who have subscribed to the CrossCountry Farewell HST Pack liveries. I am so proud of the fact that the time and effort I put into making these liveries for you all has paid off (like I hoped). It was a pleasure to bring you this pack, and I hope this encourages me to consider creating more livery packs in the future :).

    Farewell 1 and Farewell 2 have done really, really well (To the point where Farewell 2 is closing in on the same subscriber count as the original inspiration for this pack; the GC HST)! Although Farewell 3 is lacking in contrast to the other two, I feel that the major success of the other two outweigh (and overshadow) Farewell 3's lower sub count :).

    All I can say is thank you :love:! And I cannot say it enough!

    TG08 :).

    Hello all, I'm here to announce my next livery from my Creators Club Roadmap, Connex Southeastern on the Class 465 from Southeastern High Speed :).

    Livery Name: Connex Southeastern
    Route: Southeastern High Speed
    Train: Class 465/9 SEW
    Route covered: N/A
    Duration (to make the livery): 45mins
    Difficulty: N/A
    Scenario Storyline: N/A


    WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]


    Here it is, the Connex Southeastern livery on the Class 465 as per the late 1990s/early 2000s :cool:.


    [​IMG]


    Here's a side view of the livery. Coach numbers are evident. I did have a go at the branding, but it wasn't working out as expected. So, I went with an unbranded variant :).


    [​IMG]


    Here's a look at the rear as well. The fade was very tricky to do (to the point where you don't necessarily see it), but I gave it my all regardless ;).


    Here is our unit at Gillingham Depot ready to work a transfer move to Slade Green Depot in London:

    Hello all, I'm here to announce my next scenario from my Creators Club Roadmap, 3Y81 XHT-MBR on Tees Valley Line :).

    Route: Tees Valley Line

    Scenario Storyline: Drive a diverted 3-Yankee-81 from Darlington to Middlesbrough ready to form the daily service to King's Cross.

    Anyway, WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]


    Here is our service at Darlington, ready to continue its ECS move up to Middlesbrough :).


    [​IMG]


    Not ideal weather today though... :( Here we are at Allens West crossing with a Saltburn to Newcastle service (via Darlington and the ECML). A very rare service indeed :o.


    [​IMG]


    Not too far away from Thornaby now... back onto our 'normal' route at last ;).


    [​IMG]


    Tees Yard in the fog and rain? Very desolate today... Luckily you have us and a Middlesbrough to Carlisle service to make the avoiding lines look busy :D.

    Hello all, I'm here to announce my next scenario from my Creators Club Roadmap, Metrolink Replacement on San Bernardino Line :).

    THE FORMATION(S):

    Formation Name:
    SD40 + Coach + Cab (SBL)
    Route: Cajon Pass/San Bernardino Line
    Train: BNSF SD40-2


    [​IMG]


    Formation Link: Creators Club - (TG08) SD40 + Coach + Cab (SBL)

    Route: San Bernardino Line
    Train: BNSF SD40-2
    Route covered: Fontana to San Bernardino Downtown
    Duration: 20-25mins

    Scenario Storyline: Drive a SD40-2 led service from Fontana to San Bernardino Downtown on this mid-afternoon service. The SD40-2 is covering for an F125 which suffered with overheating problems in the desert heat earlier today. No delays are expected, so enjoy running a familiar but different diagram!


    Anyway, WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]


    Here is our service at Fontana Metrolink station, ready to head to San Bernardino. Looking fine elsewhere, but not the front... What's that doing on my train? This isn't freight :D.


    [​IMG]


    Made it to Rialto! A very nice feature we see in front of us as we are pictured leaving in the background :cool:.

    [​IMG]


    Looks nice right? :cool:


    [​IMG]


    Racing along the WCML now. Got stops at Oxenholme, Penrith and Carlisle this morning :).


    [​IMG]


    The viaduct everyone hated in early 2026. Disruption to the M6? Nah, we are set forty years earlier than that chaos in Jan 2026... :D

    [​IMG]


    Here is our service at Reading, with a 345 watching our every move... :o


    [​IMG]


    Just like old times! HST and IET crossover here just outside of Reading :).


    [​IMG]


    Got a bit of Electrostar action in there too! ;)


    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    Gotta say hello to Penkridge as we pass through ;).


    [​IMG]


    In the 'Tornado922' mood at Stafford. Unfortunately he wouldn't be there as the tour is in June (and he does Stafford in January) but it is the position he normally situates himself in :cool:.

    Scenario Storyline: Drive 1-Zulu-12, the 'Cornish Coastal Pullman' from Exeter St Davids to Plymouth, where another driver will continue the run into Cornwall and (ultimately) Penzance. There is industrial action today affecting GWR/XC, so you are the only train due on the Riviera Line today...


    Anyway, WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]


    Here is our service at Exeter St Davids, ready to continue the 'Cornish Coastal Pullman' to Penzance (as far as Plymouth). Looks very bare in here today... very strange. :o


    [​IMG]


    Nice angles as we pass through Newton Abbot! :cool:


    [​IMG]


    The South Devon Railway want to get in on the photography act too it seems... ;)

    Anyway, WIP shots await...


    [​IMG]


    Here is our service having left Milton Keynes Central heading south. Can you tell Avanti West Coast to stop flexing with their Pendolinos please? It is quite intimidating... ;)


    [​IMG]


    Finally, something that isn't a Pendolino at Leighton Buzzard :).


    [​IMG]


    Avanti... stop it... :D:D:D. Hemel Hempstead is more important than your Pendolino :o.


    [​IMG]


    Watford Junction at last eh? Just got to head to Wembley to reverse and head back north to Crewe. I'll let another driver do that job... I'm too traumatized by those Pendolinos :D.

    [​IMG]


    Here is our service at Peterborough. What happened to the whole 'respect your elders' thing anyway? :cool:


    [​IMG]


    "I acknowledge you Mallard!" ;)


    [​IMG]


    "Does this 158 really think that by leaving first, that it would beat me to Allington Junction. No chance at all!" :D

    [​IMG]


    Ahhhhhh... it's a DB BR 185 hauling a car train, but because we are an IC, we have priority over it :cool:.


    [​IMG]


    We share the 'Main Line' with freight services. Here we pass an oil train on the approach to Schwelm.

    Good afternoon all. I have some good and bad news to share with you.

    The bad news... the Old MBTA liveries I had planned for release on the 6th of April... well I found out that the BTC-3 and CTC-3 have wore only the livery that comes as standard with Boston Sprinter. So, it means that the planned liveries are cancelled. I apologise for the inconvenience caused, but I do have a Plan B...

    Onto the good news (or the Plan B)... in order to keep Coswig Divert Remastered as my 400th mod, I have decided to replace the Boston Sprinter liveries with two scenarios in the Class 805 'Evero' on Blackpool Branches that were due to release later in the year.

    New April schedule is as follows:

    LIVERIES:

    Linke Rheinstrecke: RailAdventure (BR 103) - Friday 17th April 2026
    LGV Mediterranee: Eurostar (TGV) - Thursday 23rd April 2026


    SCENARIOS:
    Rhein-Ruhr Osten: IC2042 Koln (Exp. BR 101) - Wednesday 1st April 2026
    Blackpool Branches: 1P92 EUS-BPN + 1A92 BPN-EUS (805) - Monday 6th April 2026
    Cajon Pass: Stormy Modal (ES44C4) - Sunday 12th April 2026


    I apologise for the inconvenience regarding the MBTA liveries, but I hope that these scenarios to/from the seaside will make it up to you all. I'll see you later tonight for the announcement of said scenarios. I'm TG08 as ever, and I'll see you then. Until tonight, it's goodbye from me :).
