Tyne and Wear Metro. Is it? Or is it not?

[Kickme93]

Coming from a lad that lives in tyne and wear, that is not a tyne and wear metro... Sorry to say.

But that sprite is nice

Definitely is. I'm guessing that you don't recognise the old colours.

[Kickme93]

No it is not.

Fact 1: That is the prototype.



This is the Tyne and Wear metro, if you need even more prove. Ill get you a picture when i get the metro to Newcastle on the 30th from South shields.



Compare them.

[Dave]

And what difference does this make at TTD's scale?

The only difference I see there is the window surrounds.

[Kickme93]

I see a whole lot of differences..

Fact 1: There is now red and yellow painting
Fact 2: The whole train has been refurbished
Fact 3: You are correct about the windows.

[Ameecher]

I see a whole lot of differences..

Fact 1: There is now red and yellow painting

Before which they carried the livery shown above.

Fact 2: The whole train has been refurbished

And when do you see the interior of the train in TTD?

Fact 3: You are correct about the windows.

Which is also irrelevant in TTD scale.

[Dave]

Idiot.

Fact 1: There is now red and yellow painting

Fact 1: Just because it's a different colour, doesn't mean it's a different unit.

Fact 2: The whole train has been refurbished

Fact 2: This makes no difference to the appearance of the train.

Fact 3: You are correct about the windows.

Fact 3: I know I am. I'm very good, see.

The point is that even if the paint job has changed, it's still a valid drawing, and as such, a comment like "That's not the Tyne and Wear Metro" is completely wrong.

It is a Tyne and Wear Metro, only predating the one you remember.

Well how the fuc* am I ment to know this is a Tyne and wear metro if i was not even born when this metro was running..

The only metro I have seen is the one I have posted.

[Ameecher]

You do a bit of research before being so adamant. It prevents you from looking like an idiot.

It's the same frigging type of unit! The only thing that's changed is the colour and the interior.

Nothing else has changed!

What are you... 12!?

[Kickme93]

It prevents you from looking like an idiot.

Sorry for wasting your time. Dave worley your just a fag.

[Ameecher]

Dave worley your just a fag.

Oh yeah, real mature. 15 and calling people fags.

[Doorslammer]

Going well isn't it?

The livery I have done so far is the livery the majority of units carried before the extensive renovations they received. With my grandparents living in Wallsend, I'm familiar with the Metro too, but remember the yellow/white fondly more so than the red/green/blue that they tend to have now.

Play nicely.

[Dave]

Dave worley your just a fag.

Please let me rephrase this with correct grammar:

"Dave Worley, you're just a faggot."

As it stands, I'm not a "fag".

[Born Acorn]

I've moved this, so you can all debate the loveliness of Tyne and Wear Metros in a forum relevant. Now play nice.

[Niek]

Why on earth is this in the general transport discussion forum if it's about some sprite?

[Ameecher]

I think Dave and I have made our point and that this can be locked now.

[Dave]

I feel Kickme93 has made his point too, and that I am actually a fag.

[andel]

And I'm announcing that you're all big girls frothing about paint colours when really, someone of us have better things to froth over:

kickme93: listen here Meredith - who cares about a black window surround of the colour of the seat so long your large behind can park just beside the toilet so you can check your makeup?

Dave Worley: Beverley - you need to remember that you only fag for senior members of the forum like me or born acorn... or have you forgotten that?

Topic locked.
