Hello Peter, I agree that it's a complete shame to leave it un-updated! I think Ben is probably busy with exams and things, so I've created a copy of the database and I will carry on updating it until Ben is available. You can find the new database here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eXMGk1AIA39NbiB77Pg7j59dxfddx5aPC3P7QNf6Tc8/edit?usp=sharing

It's not been updated for a few months, so please let me know what needs updating!
Apologies for not responding sooner - I meant to but got distracted! That sounds like a good idea - I'll follow that with interest. :)

-Peter

Hi everyone, apologies for not updating anything or updating you. I didn’t have any time on my hands at all and life basically took over so I haven’t had a chance to do much. I saw that Joe took over the project and as I’ve said many times before, I appreciate his help! I’m 16 now, crazy to think when lockdown started I was 14! I did plan to carry on with the train database but I can’t do it all on my own and I don’t want to put the responsibility on Joe, so I thought about trying to create a feature that allows users to submit their own edits to the database, mainly a train’s operator, livery, nameplates and notes. If Joe wants to carry on with the train icons then he’s more than welcome to but if he doesn’t that’s fine. With user edits on google spreadsheets I’m not sure how to allow public edits on certain boxes (e.g. the livery section) so if anybody has any information on how to do that then please feel free to message me or reply to this thread. Thanks! :)

I think all of us have found that we don't have as much time for the things we started in lockdown :lol: - and a database like the one you've made will understandably take some work to keep up-to-date.
The idea of people making their own edits sounds like a good idea: a more Wikipedia-style approach (which I don't think has been done with railways before?). The only issue I could see is that of people 'vandalising' the site by making silly changes but just like Wikipedia, all you need is a small handful of people going through and changing those incorrect bits back and then you've got it sorted for the most part.

Yeah, unfortunately that’s the world we live in. I was thinking of a submission style feature that would allow users to submit edits but would need to be approved by either myself or Joe but then that would also take time. I do want to allow the community to edit it themselves though

Yourself and Joe have done a great job with the list, the level of detail you guys have provided is excellent, and the train icons are incredible! I would be happy to help keep the list updated and I could help add some of the trains that are currently missing from the list too :)

Either option sounds good - but if allowing the community to make their own edits would relieve pressure on you both, I'd go with that.

Thanks for the contributions, everyone!

Please let me know if any of the little livery icons are incorrect or inaccurate, or missing (for the classes I've done so far!). I'll try my best to correct that!

I'm hoping to get a few more done this week - here's the priority:

- Finish Class 31, 33 & 47 liveries
- Draw up the liveries for Classes 67, 68, 88, 320, 321, 322, 325, 376, 377, 378, 379, 387, 442, 455, 456 - I have the "blank" versions of these all made so I just need to add a splash of colour!
- If I have the time get the blanks for the 50's, CAF units and Desiros made up.

If anyone wants a go at putting a livery onto one of my blanks, I have a concise sheet of (most!) of my blanks here:

Ownership is a key piece of information that is missing from the database (and yes I note your quote marks so know what you mean!).

I have done the livery on the icon for the TPE 802s, however google sheets isn't letting me upload it. I've attached it here, if anyone else would like to try uploading it feel free!

I'm now working on the Hull Trains one, which I'll post once done. I've just seen someone has already added the ECT 803 one, so no need for me to do that one myself!

that was me :P

im now having the same issue, so maybe a glitch?
edit: is working again now
Working for me now too, must have been an issue with google!

In addition to the TPE and Hull 802s, I've also added many of the Electrostars.

Wow! Thanks a lot everyone - you've saved me a lot of work AND made the database much better :)

Here's the new spreadsheet for discussion and documentation of the icons:
