AP has dropped a bombshell and surprised the heck out of everyone Presenting….. You can grab it here: https://www.armstrongpowerhouse.com...UF39C3rCcDjpU75XM4_aem_usQG_c8D7qsVlset85WGlQ
Yes, a big surprise. I'm surprised there's no mention of the earlier versions from its introduction to the start of BR Blue.
Manual - https://armstrongpowerhouse.com/free_download/manuals/APC47V1_Manual.pdf I spotted one of my pet hates During the summer, there is a chance a bug will splatter itself on your windscreen. If it is within the reach of the windscreen wiper, you can clean it off by operating the wiper.
Their Facebook announcement said Vol 2 would be privatisation era, and a possible Vol 3 would cover special liveries. There was no mention of the earlier BR liveries, though some of the current heritage liveries could be in Vol. 3, I suppose.
Yay, been waiting years for this! Sadly to the point where I've all but given up on TSC and gone over to TSW as it had a good "Duff" :/ I really want this still but as my "local" route is coming out next week (in my era too) I think that might be the final nail for me and TSC so I'd just be chucking money away
I don't know the route but I think it is for TSW as he says "I've all but given up on TSC and gone over to TSW" The second paragraph seems to indicate that
Yeah sorry, that was it basically. There's a new route for TSW next week which happens to be my local line in my chosen BR era so I'll be spending months on that, buying the AP 47 now for me just isn't worth it right now as I wouldn't be using it. I made the jump from TSC to TSW a few years back because their 47 was better but came back now and then for one or two routes, usually a dabble on the great South East Lancs / North East Cheshire route.
You wouldn't regret buying the AP 47. It's a 47 fan's dream. Clag factor, brake block spark, turbo chirp, pretty much every BR livery/variation from the late 1970s to late 1990s. TSW will never compete with that as far as I can see.
thanks for confirming the new route you mentioned is TSW. The two new DLC I’m waiting to be released for TSC would suit a class 47 (I suppose any uk route would), but any updates on AP MML Corby extension and DTGs version of ATS WCML Northampton have gone very quite since announcement months ago! I think ATS must still be fixing the TSW class 90!
I need to check out the MML, I do have the various stages of JT's Hope Valley route and some of the MML. To be honest I enjoy thrashing my way along from Man Vic to Leeds but unlike TSW it's set in present day so that takes some charm off it, but it would be good to really give the AP 47s a good thrashing on there
Didn't Alan Thomson announce such a project (converted from TSW)? (Yeah, I know many dislike ATS, partly for valid reasons, but still)
