Evening everyone, Having seen the new reveal, is there a chance that a glaring error could be rectified before release? The metal BR Double Arrow badge on the cabsides should be in Brass, and not polished aluminium / steel. https://flic.kr/p/2pHEiVD Thank you!
Does anybody know which cl.47 version will be the base in terms of sound? The WSR cl.47 in TSW is rather uninspiring when speeding up compared to the ntp or JT versions, or is this loco coming with a new setup?
We can infer from how they recently stated its compatibility that this will be mostly based on the JT versions. Their most recent article said that Athena actually communicated a fair bit with JT to ensure that 484 will layer into all 47 services in BPO and WCML Shap. Easy to imagine that it will either be based on JT's improvements, or perhaps even be their own modifications entirely, but I can't imagine it will have any new sounds compared to the JT or NTP versions.
Can't help but notice that the class 47's High-Density headlight is off in one of the screenshots. I hope somebody just forgot to switch it on, and it is not bugged. Also noticed the Class 40 was photographed from the right side, to hide the lighting bug it has on the left.
Thanks for your feedback! I'll relay this to our artists. I believe it is a bug since I recall it being correct at one stage but these things are still work in progress.
Thank you Mike - I must say, she looks good. Do you have any plans to model the other three of the GWR150 47s?. If so, 47079 would require removal of the ETH box, socket and wiring. 47500 would keep the ETH sockets etc as for 47484, but would need removal of the boiler water tanks. 47628 would also need to have the boiler water tanks removed, but would need the ETH equipment as per the earlier NTP 47s, i.e. all below the buffer beams.
To reassure you, yes the high intensity headlight is indeed fully functional! We simply forgot to switch it on for these screenshots. In relation to the Class 40, as this isn't our loco we've not made any changes to it. We do feature the Class 40 in a bonus scenario railtour for those who own it though. Thanks for the tips on those other 47s, very useful info to have - Personally, I'd love to do them but we currently have a fairly full line up of content already on the slate. Maybe something for the future though!
I am excited for the future of the dlc you guys are doing as mentioned previously. May I ask is true you have a modern route in development? I assume it's coming along okay?
