Update: Updated the list to show progress as of the 19th of December 2009, in Pak128.Britain-Ex 0.4.

Update: I have amended the list showing some progress that I have made in producing some new vehicle graphics over the Christmas holiday. I have also made some changes to the steam locomotives that I have set out, replacing the LNER V1/V3 with the LMS Fowler 3P - the V1/V3 were too similar in power cl****ification to the GWR large prairie tank, which is already included; the 3P is a smaller locomotive more suited to inner suburban duties. I am also considering adding to the list some push/pull stock for the 3P and BR 2MT 2-6-2T, to enable push-pull working on inner suburban type trains as well as branch line type trains with the current GWR autocoach. I have yet to determine whether that should be instead of or as well as the currently listed GNR/LNER suburban compartment stock.

Finally, I have removed the tender version of the BR Standard 2MT, which would not serve much of a useful purpose in Simutrans (the tender version of the 4MT being useful only because, as a result of being a tender and separate locomotive, it has a lighter axle loading than the tank version).

Edit: I have also added Tyne & Wear Metro light rail units, to give a modern application to DC overhead electrification.

James, was just wondering, what state is pak-gb-experimental in, in terms of balancing and playability? Because pak-gb1.07 standard has clearly not been balanced yet - was just about to start making a new game, wondering if it's in a reasonable condition to use yet?

The Experimental version has not been balanced more than the Standard version. I have spoken to somebody who knows a great deal of information about the realistic relative costs of things, and am hoping to balance the set using those data, but have not heard from him yet. In the meantime, I am focussing on fixing bugs in Experimental and balancing issues in the code. Any ****istance in testing would, however, be much appreciated!
