RE: Connex Class 411 Model

Hehe, I was waiting for someone to notice it

I took the orginal texture from the Connex livered 421 BVE model
which does the same as the 411 which I am making I just can't really prevent it, I did try to do what you said though Damon

I'll have another go in the morning

In the mean time people who are not from the UK this is the real Connex livered 411

Super.

I was saying it wasn't good, it was just a bit of a joke.

You added a logo I see, just a shame that connex have lost their francise :P

RE: Connex Class 411 Model

Great looking object Chris, but just one thing:

<pedantic>

If I remember correctly, CEPs didn't run on B4 bogies like the train in your model does. I see (and travel on) these things pretty regularly, and I think that they run on Commonwealth bogies for the trailing bogies, and standard BR(S) motor bogies for the powered ones.

</pedantic>

Not really meant as a criticism, just an observation. It does tend to make it look a bit like a Mk 2 coach, though.

Having said all that, I could be wrong? Can anyone else confirm? Mr. Whitington perhaps?

All the best,

[Mr Gizmo]

RE: Connex Class 411 Model

Chris,

You are correct in your assumption, and no doubt nathan will confirm....

The reason for the bogies believe it or not is partially my fault back in the development of SRV2 when i was discussing with steve ways to to improove the underframe of trains.

Good work on the new model though.

Perhaps a site containing modified objects (with permission)could be formed

I mean I was saying it was good, just forgot the 'd' and you can't edit your posts after 60 mins.

RE: Connex Class 411 Model

Well, I have looked very close and have discovered 2 minor things.

1. The yellow band is about two thirds of the way upto the windows.
2. The top of the yellow band turns into stripes of which you haven't included

Other than this, well done. For people who don't know and/or are not from the UK, i have attached a photo of a 'Connex' liveried unit.

RE: Connex Class 411 Model
