[OTTD] BRTrains - Development Thread

[Leanden]

Its a bit overdue, but to celebrate 40 years of the HST, i present... the HST!



(Some annoyingly animated pixels in here but i will get them removed soon enough!)

P.S. Also i just noticed the TGS carriage is facing the wrong way so i need to fix that too

[Silverx50]

these look wonderful.
very excited by the progress of this.

Just curious, is there a difference in the near and far sets of 3 BR liveries other than position of the first class cars?

Just curious, is there a difference in the near and far sets of 3 BR liveries other than position of the first class cars?

The shorter HST is the 255 'Challenger', the next is the 253 'Western' and the longest is the 254 'Eastern'.

[Leanden]

Can anyone help me identify these liveries on the BR Class 158 'Express Sprinter'?

I only know the answer for one and that is the one underneath the Central Trains diagram and that is Wessex Trains

EDIT: one of the top ones is Wales and Borders

Would that be the second one down?

[EXTspotter]

Yep; the two similar ones in the Alphaline livery are Wales and Borders (blue doors - 4th) and Wessex trains (pink doors - 9th). There are a few one offs and bits in there including the Wessex trains Ginsters livery (all black with the red Ginsters logo). I will try and remember to get a list off to you tomorrow when I have time....

Above answers are correct, 9 and 12 are Alphaline and Ginsters respectively.


The one-off Wales And West

In a not so subtle way... I look forward to these the most.

You mean having the 158s in game?

The next version will include all sprinters

As 37s and 158s go hand in hand through my life and these were my faves to pixel up, absol;utely!

[SquireJames]

Following this with interest

I was wondering, how far back were you planning to go? 1920? 1900?

I'm going to include the Stephenson Rocket, so... 1829?

[Leanden]

Ive added a poll if people dont mind taking part

[SquireJames]

Wowsers, fair way back then. I am not much cop when it comes to coding, but I could assist with the planning if you like. I contributed in a teeeny way to UKRS2 (sprite-bashed a Royal Scot for it in various versions. Pikka understandably only coded one, but I have the others kicking around. Different tenders, pre and post rebuild, with and without smoke deflectors etc). I could try drawing some other things if it would help, but i'd be better with the planning. (Might try learning NML, seems easier than old NFO coding)
