Traingeek08's Creators Club Releases & Updates Thread

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) .

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...





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





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





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





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

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 .

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...






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 .






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!






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 Link:


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...





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 .





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





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):





Livery Link:


Livery Name: CrossCountry Farewell 3 (43007 + 43008)
Route: Great Western Express
Train: High Speed Train GWG
Route covered: N/A
Duration (to make the livery): 3 hours and 5 minutes
Difficulty: N/A
Scenario Storyline: N/A


WIP shots await...





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





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





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


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





Livery Link:


I hope you are excited for this one to release, I've been TG08 as ever, and I'll see you for the next CC release announcement. So until then, it's goodbye from me . Let's finish off with one last group photo eh?

 

Hello all, I'm here to announce my next scenario from the Creators Club Roadmap, 1S45 PLY-ABD on the Fife Circle Line .


Scenario Name: 1S45 PLY-ABD
Route: Fife Circle Line
Train: Class 220 XC
Route covered: Haymarket to Markinch
Duration: 40mins
Difficulty: 2
Scenario Storyline: Drive the once-a-day CrossCountry service from Plymouth to Aberdeen between Haymarket and Markinch, where a colleague will relieve you. There is a yellow weather warning for heavy rain in north-east Scotland today, so be careful out there.


Anyway, WIP shots await...





Here is our service awaiting departure from Haymarket on a terrible day. The 158s alongside us are departing for Edinburgh Waverley.





We come off the Forth Bridge and pass through North Queensferry as we prepare to stop for our first intermediate station, Inverkeithing .





Now on the 'outer' Fife Circle Line (via Kirkcaldy). We cross here with a pair of 158s on a service from Dundee to Edinburgh Waverley .





This Turbostar cannot leave me alone; whether it is in real-life or in TSW. Just go away 170407, for once!

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 .
