73 Tube stock on the Victoria Line ?

[Deleted]

I went down on the Victoria line last night, and what a suprise to see Doc driving the refurb 73 Heathrow bound train on route to Seven Sisters. Lots of angry passengers will be missing their flights.

Is the Vc worth buying?

[Deleted]

I thought it would be worth buying just for the station detail. It's awsome.Tunnel and track textures could be better. Oh! i missed this pic from my upload. While i was lining up the shot the destination board kept scrolling different messages just like the real thing. Wicked.

Is it a download or do they send it you?


Nice screenies.

Its payware about £7 from www.underground-sim.ch and the cab of the 1967 refurb is of DrJimi's refurbed C stock but rest assured that is in hand. I've now come to the useful end of the pictures at my disposal so if anyone has any pics of the refurbed 1967 stock or R stock which is the next project, they will be of great help. Thanks.

have you got any of the 1967 exterior pics?

[DrJimi]

Pictures on the author's web site, noted in Darren's post above.

[dotmatrix]

i mean the exterior of the train, which none of the pictures include.

Does anyone know if these pictures would be possible in real life? I mean, can the Picadilly Line 73ts switch over anywhere, as in, what stations incorporate Picadilly & Victoria activity?

Finsbury park has the crossover between the lines and was used for engineering and for stock transfers. It is possible for a train from Walthamstow to become a Heathrow train and vice versa but the problems with ATO/ATP with 73ts but the 67ts have part-time tripcocks.

This will not be possible when the 2009ts comes along as they are going to be bigger and will not fit down the Picc tunnels.

The last time that I know of when there was a passenger train over both Vic-Picc and Picc-Vic was the Auto Tube Rambler, that I was on (with Solidbond?).

Do all LT lines connect with each other at some point for stock delivery and maintenance purposes? Are there any totally independant lines?

Darren.

[Deleted]

they all connect together at one point apart from the W&C

in the old days there used to be stock transfers between Acton works and other lines. They used to share stock as well and they were frequently transferred. Sometimes it is quite an awkward route to get the train the right way round.

Regarding tunnel textures, wouldn't it be great to design a LUL track and tunnel package for MSTS? I for one would be interested in designing the shapes for it in GMAX.

brilliant idea, if you mean all of them merged, however, it'd take a while..............

I had a go at this a while back but BEWARE! the MSTS maximum shape count per tile. I used the gantry.dat file to auto place tunnel segments. It was so easy and looked fantastic but MSTS fell over when i tried saving my route with more than 1700 objects on one tile. Maybe Kuju's new railsimulator will handle the shape count better.
