Starting to roll GUV

I've finally found the time to get back to the bogies for the GUV model that will be making its first outing as a Motorail variant in the Night Capitals expansion for Railworks Train Simulator 2012.

At the present time the bogies are about 75% complete with a few other large components to add along with some of the fine detail. once that is complete it should be just the bufferbeam detail to add and some other fine detailing.

Been Shopping

This arrived today along with some friends. Now I wonder what could be in the pipeline .....? 

NSM: Trentham MGR

Some more work in progress shots of North Staffs Minerals, our route for RailWorks Train Simulator 2012 have arrived in the inbox from the route builder this week.

This time we get to see a class 47 hauled MGR departing Trentham Colliery and heading past the Wedgewood ceramics factory.

NSM: Colliery Line

Not content with yesterdays offering another sreenshot has appeared. This time of one of the many colliery lines in the route as it crosses a local road on the flat.

The rolling stock doesn't form part of the route and has been used to give a feeling for the area and its operations.

My inbox has also been filling up with up with screenshots from the testing of our first Ages of the Train scenario addon pack from RailWorks 3 Train Simulator 2012.

Here we see the player train from the second of the scenarios under development for the first pack at Ouston Junction with class 25/3 25308 and Class 31/1 31315 making full use of their blue star multiple working equipment as the ER do their best to return the Sulzer back to the LMR.


A double headed Class 37 hauled iron ore train is glimpsed crossing the bridge behind on its way to Consett.
