    Following half a year of solid graft, it brings me great pleasure to finally be able to share some of these with you.

    Please bear in mind, these are work in progress.

    About time you finished what you started way back when :D

    HST's desperately need love and attention and better representation in TSC, even the AP EP was disappointing in the interior looks department, I still use your cab enhancement till this day.

    As Rob said a detailed HST is a day one purchase from me!

    This looks really good. The HST is my favourite train both in real life and TSC, so I‘ll be happy to get this when it’s out.

    Don't try to sell it cheap. Quality work is worth paying for, and you deserve to have this be worth the huge amount of time it has taken you. Having said that.. work faster damn it! :)

    Exactly this. No doubt people will moan it’s payware and usual names on here but this looks just fantastic and with Duncan’s current payware offerings of plant you can guarantee this will have outstanding value for money

    Pretty well I'd say. Duncan updated his GST Facebook page cover photo with this 11hrs ago (at time of posting)...

    Holy poo!! This is exceeds AP quality if you ask me. This is epic! Definite instant buy from me Duncan. Any plans for a MTU and a Valenta version in the pipeline? I'd buy all three.
    The second this is released... I'm buying it.

    Same. Absolutely adore the VP185s from the countless times I've travelled on them.

    I haven't been able to drive the default AP EP after seeing this is coming. :mad: :D

    Can´t wait for scripting... Modeling is one thing, simulation is another. I hope it will be at least as good as the modeling. So far it looks briliant.

    Same here. I've been avoiding it. Now I've seen these, I just can't.

    I hope there's a MTU version in the pipeline for some LNER ECML action.

    I think it'll be streamed once more prior to release on Al's twitch stream. I want to save all the goodness for you guys so I've been quite minimal with screen shots and the like.

    Someone needs to. AP have no interest in it... apparently they are too boring. Personally, I agree, they are, but they're also a thing, and modern scenarios in the north are impossible without them if you want them to be accurate. Even just a semi-reasonable AI version would go a long way to solving the issue.

    Nice!

    Replacement cabs, why didn't somebody think of this before? A lot of locomotives could use a decent, more detailed cab.
    But is should provide a whole new experience, that includes upgraded in cab sounds and scripting as well.

    Will these be automatically selected depending on which livery you choose?
    Is that blue LED clock functional? This looks amazing. I can't wait.

    - Each cab will be applied to the correct set (some may involve free patches, but AP have very generously given the green light for ATS & GST to support the upcoming HST 2.0)
    - The blue clock is indeed functional :)

    I'd go faster (like 8 times faster), but these bakes take time on my once grand but now ageing dev kit. Eventually, I'll be able to upgrade my dev PC :cool:

    Didn't see the stream, no. Don't really watch them much. ATS stream?
    Is this a whole new pack then?
