43116 had major heart surgery around 2007 / 8 when its Paxman Valenta engine was swapped for a new MTU unit and when National Express took over...
Thank you for your comment dtg.jan, especially on a weekend. Let me reiterate my concerns 1. The word I used is a legitimate word in English...
Joking aside, my posts - our posts - are being censored and edited! Is that even ethical? I've uploaded 1,200 livery creations to CC in the last...
Ah, no, although the first post actually shows the problem - you will see I have put an asterisk next to the words that have been changed.
Images where, Trainsimuser? On here or on the Creators Club?
As you can see above, the name of the HST Power Car has been changed in my post too! It should read, and I'll spell it out for you, "The Black D,...
With apologies to Tina Turner, but what has LOVE got to do with my uploaded HST? Uploading a relivery of a GNER HST from 2006, named by GNER...
OK, is this a joke? I typed the name of 43116, using the letters D, y, k, e for the 3rd word and upload it and it is changed to LOVE. No, sorry,...
We come to the halfway point of livery variations for 43116 - its final GNER livery. By 2006, GNER had named the Power Car, but not with its...

Still unnamed in 2005, 43116 did receive a bodyside logo - an advert for London's bid for the 2012 Olympics! Paired with 43109 (again) LL # 4.7...
1996 was a 'wind-change' for the railways as BR ceased to exist and Private companies bid to run certain parts of the Passenger services. 43116...
Sanity prevailed and 43116 received replacement nameplates by 1991, albeit the 'tinplate' variety. Here she is paired with 43039 LL # 4.5 [ATTACH]...

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...
If ever a loco needed Livery Editor access its the Class 31. 65 years of service on the railways and a multitude of liveries that must be second...

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...
It's up to the Creator to identify whether the upload is fiction or non-fiction. Personally, I use an expression in the Title: 'What If...' and...

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]
