London Transport Museum

Any BVE fans who happen to visit may spot something familiar .

BVE4 is used to power 4 simulators - 2 95 stock, 1 96 stock and a 38 stock.

The "higher" echelons of society seem to like it:

As does the ES - they describe it in their review as an "interactive video of a tube tunnel".

 

[Dennis]

Great result getting BVE into the LTM and congratulations to all involved.

OOI, are there any credits displayed anywhere or does BVE and the route / train developers remain anonymous?

 

[Tom B]

There are / will be a link to Mackoy's website and a credit to the Northern/Jubilee route authors, and others involved in the project.

 

[Coxster]

Jubilee line? Hmmmmm

 

[Julian G]

Are the old simulators still at the LTM?
I remember there was one of the first 'tube' train and the '62 TS

 

[Tom B]

Nope, they have been removed. The two 62ts are in storage, the CSLR loco is I believe in storage, and the 38ts CAB is reused with a BVE4 sim.

I am planning to go to London next year, mainly to have a go on this (if it's open to the public!)

Well done to all involved!

 

[EmergencyBrake]

Heres some more pictures of the simulators... http://brtforum.proboards60.com/index.cgi?board=brt&action=display&thread=1195691829&page=1

Dan Lewis has also made a video of the 1996 stock mock up cab with the Jubilee Line in use... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7MxzQ2i088

 

[Tom]

Any chance of that video without the music ... it rather annoyed me when I was watching.

 

[Coxster]

May have to drop by on my way to work one day.

 

[Tom B]

I should add that the development of these is a continuing process. We have at present the basic functionality, which itself is a significant step above anything previously done. However things like the speedo, side window, whistle are planned for addition at a later date.

 

[Jim]

Thats really good news - what a success for BVE!

 

[Ilove165's]

Had a go on the northern line one because the jubilee was busted might go back soon when it's fixed

 

[jubilee]

I've got the northern line at home i was expecting the jubilee line at the ltm does anyone know why it aint working?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
For some reason it is the design of the jubilee line 1996 stock but a northern line simulator.

 

[Tom]

Yes - the Jubilee Line has problems and won't be running until a replacement of hardware is put in the simulator...

 

[jubilee]

I am planning to go again soon only if the jubilee line is working because it was a great disapointment because i went there because of that. I came all the way down from queensbury (on the jubilee line) to central london to have a go on it and i find the northern linead:.

 

[Tom B]

Unfortunately it can't be helped, I am trying to find out when the hardware will be upgraded.

All the way? Try Edinburgh to London...

 

[D306]

I'm gonna go during the Christmas holidays, but after Christmas though, as I get my new camera

 

[jubilee]

Even though there is no jubilee line i enjoyed myself and i will also go again during the christmas holidays.

 

[TomBoyRacer]

I'm surprised no one has commented on this...

Ken Livingstone?

 

[37427]

I've sat in that seat and driven it.

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

I went to the LTM and drove a 95 Tube Stock.

 

[Tom B]

Please stop dragging up old threads and adding little or no value to them.

Setting a precendence for the further dumbing down of LUL then ad:

 

[NathanPrior]

I went there to drive the Jubile Line but of course there had to be a family of 5 and every single one of them wanted a go. Then i went on the ones next to it, and after finally reaslising how to stop after going sailing trough a station come to a stop, if only it tells you how to reverse the things. So i go back to look at the Jubilee Line one and see a fat man on it so i went off, and came back 10 mins later to find he was still on it. So all in all i drove a train for about a minute.

 

[EmergencyBrake]

I went there to drive the Jubile Line

Was it really the Jubilee or the Northern?

 

[Tom B]

The reverse function has been disabled. You should drive to the next station.

 

[NathanPrior]

Was it really the Jubilee or the Northern?

The Jubilee was up as well as Northern, but it looks as if i got the Northern Line.

I tried getting it to move but that failed

Sorry for the late response, I've been doing exams and wasnt really frequenthing this forum.

I dont really get what you saying. I want to know if the nice full size mock up cab was showing the Jubilee or Northern Line? The Jubilee Line is fully photoreal with Platform edge doors at stations whilst the Northern Line uses mostly hand drawn textures and the platform doesnt have platform edge doors.

It is important that I know what the museum is currently showing. They took the route and haven't been talking to us for a while.

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

One simulator they could have would be the Refurbished 1973 Tube Stock where you can drive the new version of the Piccadilly line.
