Hi everyone, hope you are all well.
It’s certainly been a while since I last posted anything. December 2022 marked ten years since the release of the first SLC model. A lot has happened in that time.
So what’s happening in the SLC Works.
Z CLASS
The ‘Z’ is progressing well. The base model is in-game and I’m gradually adding all of the features and scripting to this base model first, before proceeding to create the other liveries.
As I’ve mentioned before in other blog posts, despite the small size of the ‘Z’ class, only 8 members, the number of variations I’ve observed in photographs and drawings is quite surprising. I was unable to find any reference to several of the variations in published material, making the ‘Z’ class add-on the first time they will have been identified/highlighted.
So how about some screenshots?
Of course, the add-on is still very much WIP, so textures etc may change between now and the release.
SECR Trio ‘B’ COACHES
I’ve decided to combine packs 3 & 4 together as there wasn’t a clear distinction in time period like there is between packs 1 & 2. This is progressing slowly, but will be the next release after the ‘Z’. Released alongside pack 3 will be an update to packs 1 & 2.
LORD NELSON
Because of various issues, the ‘Lord Nelson’ add-on has been on the back burner for a while now. Once the ‘Z’ and Trio ‘B’ coaches are out, work on the ‘Lord Nelson’ will recommence.
SCHOOLS
Because the ‘Lord Nelson’ and the ‘Schools’ classes share several components, it made sense to develop both locomotives together. I have tie-in DLC planned for both locomotives so there’s much to look forward to.
And that just about completes this long overdue update. Until next time…
