Miscellaneous Files - BVE Locomotive Collection


BVE Locomotive Collection

This is a collection of BR locomotives for BVE. The collection currently includes classes 20, 37, 40, 47, 50, 52, 55 and 87. Many of these locos use engine and horn samples, as well as cab and loco photographs, recorded and taken by Andy Slater (BR Diesel Web) - who has very kindly granted permission for these files to be included with the locomotives. The 'Train.dat' files included with classes 20, 37, 40, 50, 52, 55 and 87 were originally created by Paul Robins.

The collection now includes a Class 47 by Simon Townsend, Robert Glass and myself, featuring an excellent horn sample by Andy Slater.

The latest addition is the Class 56 originally by Phillip Mackay, updated by Robert Glass and myself, featuring an excellent horn sampled from a recording by Andy Slater.

All the 'Train.dat' files have been edited or checked, to ensure there are no problems with excessive wheel-slip when these locos are used with certain routes in BVE2. All locos have been updated with 'slamming door' sounds, and guards whistle samples by Alan Perryman.

Enhancements for some of these locos are also available - head over to Scottish Rail Sim Files, where Robert Glass has been working hard, creating some fantastic animated panel updates for the Class 37, 50 and 55 'Deltic'.
