Hmmm, perhaps I ought to learn to read better...

Edit: Dave, is there a particular set of views that you think are wrong? I suppose the _ view is a bit so I'll have a look at that.

Looks very dark, perhaps a bit too much...

Could just be me though.

Spot-on perfect there.

All it needs now is angry commuters standing around it because their tickets don't work.

Following the poll this Set is now officially part of the UKRV Set (or United Kingdom Road Vehicle set, in full).

This set will be released in stages. Firstly trams, then (in no particular order) buses and lorries. It is intended to be compatible with most industry sets around and have articulated lorries.

Trams are the first priority however.

Poll Results listed below.

Should this set be part of a larger UK Road Vehicles Set?
Yes 66% [ 45 ]
No 33% [ 23 ]
Total votes : 68

Thanks Lewis, and to prove that Lewis isn't the only one working on the Road Vehicles section, I've drawn a DAF 26t lorry in Royal Mail livery.

I toyed with doing that but decided that my version was the best compromise (yours draws the logo on the roof of the lorry too :P)

Just a screenshot of this in game, just a straight forward sprite replacement of the Reynard Mail Truck.

I think those trucks could use a bit more shading, it seems that all surfaces use the same tint of red.

That is a marvellous pixel rendition of a DAF in RM livery. I must say, ameechers looks best. I have to ask, what other lorries are there?

At the moment, there are no others since I haven't got round to drawing them.

Xeryus, I'll have a look at what I can do with regard to the shading.
