Piccadilly line v5-how's it going

[Andrew Tiffin]

I have run the Piccadilly line v5 on BVE4, for the present day version, I use the Refurbished 1973 Tube Stock from The London Tube. The heritage version could use the unrefurbished version of the 1973 tube stock from BVE Routes and Trains. I'm looking forward to the next part of the line, will there be any screenshots to be viewed?

Sad to tell you that there is not much screenshots available since Tom is busy but feel free to check out his website for the latest news.

The progress so far is that the route has extended back to Hammersmith, and now starts in the tunnel (so you can see the Hammersmith station, which is modelled accurately). In the other direction it currently reaches past Oakwood.

Currently 'to do' is to finish off Barons Court and the Hammersmith siding, finish Southgate, a bit of detail at Oakwood, then Cockfosters. Then it'll be beta'd and released.

I don't know when this will be. Hopefully it will be soon but who knows.

You said on your website that you were going to have a release in 2008.

 

[LondonBVE]

Andrew, he sets the release date as an estimation it does not means it will be released by 2008. So don't put too much hope.

Also, don't expect it to be released dead on 2008. It will take time

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

Well, on my version, I replaced the blue Underground symbol with a Way out sign.

You said on your website that you were going to have a release in 2008.

There are 360 days left of 2008. Anyway, if people keep saying things like that I may well be tempted to release it in 2009.

I wonder if he's going to extend it to Heathrow and Uxbridge?

 

[Tom]

Now he will release it in 2010.

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

Do'h!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't you make it so you can run it in the other direction, like from Cockfosters to Uxbridge? And then after that, can you make the Hammersmith and City line please?

 

[Tom]

Doh Rich, 2011 now.

I think he should make Penzance - Aberdeen via London first!

Since everyone has been so patient, and since Andrew asked for a screenshot, I thought I'd better provide one.

It's of the platforms at Oakwood.

It's just a concrete slab. You don't see it that big often.

 

[Tom B]

I told you it was of the platforms at Oakwood!

Good work

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

Oh, oh yes, it is of the platforms at Oakwood.

 

[devon_metro]

I read somewhere that every texture of the route is actually the real texture in real life.

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

Your'e right, Liam.

 

[devon_metro]

Tom went to every station and effectivly took a photo of the whole thing!

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

Wow, he did?

 

[Tom B]

*points to his photo archive*

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

Blimey, well done!

 

[The Snap]

OMG really Tom? I'll phone Reuturs and let them know...that shows commitment to BVE - well done.

Because you're so commited, do you think you could make the entire ECML, because we don't have that in BVE and I think it would be great...
