    I said earlier:
    Oh, well, as of the above post I realise we aren't talking about free enhancements . . .

    Some might say that being as it represents only one out of the four 3-car units to wear the scheme I could have overlooked it. But then I could have overlooked that some DMCL vehicles retained non-operational marker lights - but I wouldn't do that.

    I've had to make an object to do the white edges behind the driving cabs because the UV unwrapping is truly awful. This object also needed the logos repositioning to match the shallower black window surrounds of 101363. Last job is to move the numbers and to match the relocated striping of the texture sheets which cover the roof and ends of the vehicles and then that is all liveries finally put to bed for SPT orange or Caledonian, barring needing the interior seat material changing over but I've had difficulty finding images of what they would have been back in the 1980s/90s thus far - any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Testing of the SPT variants and some scenario writing is now in progress - here we see a July 2000 transfer move of 4 SPT Class 101s from Corkerhill to Longsight for the last years of their working lives. Thanks goes to the fantastic www.railcar.co.uk website for their invaluable resource of information which included the schedule print out for this STP move. Not much AI at the northern outposts of the WCML at this time of a Sunday morning however.

    Hi, thanks for the Blue and Grey Anglian version and Network South East version, and looking forward to the SPT versions. Any thoughts on BR Green, Br Blue, BR refurbished with White added, and Blue and Grey non Anglian versions.
    Also how about this with a headlight added where the 2 digit headcode was as below. Thanks again Fred

    Yes all of the above and more are being considered, but as you'll appreciate they then all take time on research, scenarios and making the specific child objects and scripts as required.

    As regards your photo, I have those objects made for the four marker light variations, it just needs adjustment to the lighting objects etc for that to be covered as operational lights - I do have them in a non-operational sense for those that are retained on the early SPT livery on the DMCLs. Speaking of things that are missing, I spotted and have added these and will need to retro-fit them where appropriate to the others already released.
