By 1990, InterCity Swallow livery was dominating the InterCity fleet and 43116 acquired the livery, but without its nameplates, since the style of...
Around 1987, 43116 received InterCity Executive livery, along with most of the rest of the fleet. The Power Car retained its nameplate at this...
I forgot to mention - 43116 has had at least 14 livery variations in its service life! LL # 4.2 is from 1983 when 43116 was named 'City of...

Similar to OldVern, a 25 is a must, as is a Cl124 TransPennine DMU. We need access to Portals and far more sidings, especially around Victoria and...
Virgin Trains introduced their livery around 1997 too and once again Hybrid livery sets were to be seen. Here are 43156 + 43162 in Virgin Red &...
When the Gold lettering and the Crest were first introduced, the Power Cars were still running with Paxman Valenta power units and so remained...
GNER soon made changes to the livery, introducing Gold lettering for its GNER name and elaborate multicoloured cast metal crests for its coaches!...
It didn't take long for the coaches to catch up with the new livery and soon complete sets were gracing the ECML 43054 and 43117 [ATTACH]...
Continuing the 1997 theme, but this time HSTs. GNER quickly began a programme of repaints into its distinctive dark Blue and Red stripe livery,...

I have TSW3, TSW4, TSW5 AND TSW6. I use the older versions to store Livery Designer uploads, as there is only space for 300 per game, so I...

47732 was formerly celebrity 47580 'County of Essex'. The RES livery and number change completely hides this and the loco was renamed to...
Back to the Parcels. 47771 is next - a 47/7 in full RES colours, complete with cast Crewe Diesel TMD 'Leaping Cat' depot emblem and cast BR arrow....
An interloper into the collection - 47599. BR's rush to ETH as many Class 47's as they could in the early 1980s, found many of these locos surplus...
47763 in RES livery. The loco had formerly been 47581 'Great Eastern', but by this time had fallen into obscurity. It has the orange cover version...
A few more variations: 47533 in Parcels livery. This loco has the minimum of markings! Just its numbers, data panels and OHLE signs. No BR arrows,...
47626 in RES livery. The 47/4s seem to have received not just the RES markings, but have kept their BR arrow [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
More TSW 5 Class 47s: 47476 'Night Mail' in Parcels livery [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well, 47241 certainly took off. Wasn't expecting that! So here's another 47, this time a RES liveried one - 47779. This loco was unusual* in that...

I'm hoping to get to York this year, missed it last year. That looks really good - a proper GWR Branch line train! Some colours are always...
Think you've done a good job with that MK1. Might even inspire WSR to make their own Autocoach :D Are you at Doncaster at weekend? Dave
A couple more liveries for my project - I'm doing a scenario set in 1997, when BR ceased and an array of new companies and new liveries burst onto...
Are you beta testing the Pannier, or is it now available? It certainly does look at home on the WSR.
For a specific project. I'm not averse to newer liveries, but I hardly have time to cover the 1970s and 1980s.
Something to come... [ATTACH]

I've settled on the following: 80 60 13 It may seem dark, but it looks right to me in game. There were variations among the Loco...
Had a play with a couple of these, ignored the speed limits! The line is very 'busy' with stock in lots of sidings, making it seem much more real!...
I think so, greggryan2. It's possible to make a formation with no loco and save it, but it cannot be accessed in the Scenario Planner because...
Here are 2x 8F tenders back to back (or is it front to front?). You can add stock to either end. No sound. Just need to be invisible. Obs cannot...
I managed to make a static wagon rake for a preserved railway using an 8F tender. The game views it as a loco, but of course it makes no sounds....
