The Inter City 125 Executive version has been re released thanks to a couple of errors in it.

26th November 2018

Today another HST release!

This ones in BR Inter City Executive livery from 1985.

No I did not re skin it in 24 hours!

25th November 2018

I have now released a revised and renamed version of the BR (W) HST.

The name change is to reflect I have also now made two more.

The previously released one is now called Mainline and I have released a Inter Regional version and a two Power Car light engines one.

I should point out that the maximum speed permitted is 60 mph for the light engine version.....

16th October 2018

I've now released another High Speed Train, this time I've backdated it to 1980 and made a British Rail (Western Region) 2 + 7 set in Inter City 125 livery.

The TrainSimCentral cab has also been altered to remove the T.P.W.S and the DRA from the cab.

1980 cab.

16th September 2018

There's still currently not much chance for me to make more stuff for Open Bve but I have now finished the Grand Central MTU High Speed Train and it's on the HST download page.

It has revised sounds and a photo real cabview from photo's by Richard Boddy and configured by myself.

Sorry there's no external view with this one, maybe later.....

The drawn cab version with the Cross Country object view has been withdrawn.

22nd July 2018

Well what have I been doing since February?

Not as much as I have done in previous years thanks to a few life changes that mean I don't have the time to make this stuff at present.

I did start to re skin the Class 168 to a Central Trains Class 170.

Then I started thinking what is a rather big omission in what I have released in the years gone by and that was to not give the Fastline Class 56 a train to pull.

Looking on the internet it had to be a FEA-B container flat wagon train, there are not any photo's of them pulling any thing else when in Fastline livery.

The problem, I have a excellent set of photo's by Richard Boddy of the FEA-B wagons in Freightliner livery.

But none I can use in Fastline grey.

Then I realised that the Fastline grey and Freightliner FEA-B look identical when dirty bar where the markings have been cleaned off.

So for the last two or three months I been making one in Freightliner livery hoping to alter it to Fastline.
