142: It Went.....

....then it came back.... now it's going again... but looks like it will come back again. I'm getting dizzy

 

Looks like a newer version will be coming then given that last part.

 

I think that's a pretty safe assumption, yeah. Not before time. The game needs a pacer, and the old one is more than 10 years old now, and showing its age compared to newer AP stuff. I'm looking forward to it.

 

Or possibly a combined EP for the DTG 142 and 143?

 

To be fair the real Pacers always showed their age.

 

From being brand new, yes. I remember them being introduced. Strangely, I kind of miss them now.

 

The pack is older than Windows 8. It is safe to say a remake would be useful.

 

First product waggonz and AP done and a fantastic job it was as well. Look forward to APs next release pacer will be instant buy from me as well as you Pookeyhead lol

 

I wonder if you'll get a discount on the new version if you have the old version???

This type of thing is common. We will see if it applies here.

 

I personally won't bother with the new 142.
I have had the old version for quite a few years and drove it about 3 times.
Some scenarios require it but its just something to see as you go past it.

 

The 142 holds little interest for me too, I own it just for AI.

 

and yet the virtual ones outlasted the real ones by a few years.

 

People in the Virtual World think they are ok if they have not travelled on one.

 

Pacers were a hoot! There was a section just after Salwick on the Fylde line (pre electrification) that you'd swear you were on a boat if you closed your eyes

 

All we seemed to get on the Chester Manchester mid Cheshire line was 142's! It was luxurious if we got a 150 or above for the hour long trip to Manchester from Greenbank!

Since the 142's retirement we now seem to exclusively have 150's running back n forth.
