The update for this week is a set of the Suburban coaches in the blue livery.

The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

 

19th Feb

This week's update is a selection of GWR signals.

This pack contains 12 new signals, 6 of which include sighting boards behind the signal arm.

The signals can be found on the additional content page under signals -> lower quadrant signals, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

 

12th Feb

Here’s a novel way to load replenish your steam locomotive’s tender with coal: use a front end loader.

While not common, this method was observed in use at some minor depots in Britain during the 1950s and 1960s.The facility modelled here has full industry interactivity accompanied by loader animation and smoke and sound effects.

A trackside coal staithe with an animated load of 21 tons capacity can be replenished by delivery from an open rail wagon. A tender brought to a stand at trackside post markers will trigger the Weatherill loader into action. The number of 1.5-ton Weatherill bucket loads that can be delivered to the tender is calculated by script. Each animation cycle consists of the Weatherill loading its bucket at the staithe then manoeuvring the bucket load over the tender before dumping it.

This should also prove useful when running steam specials on a modern era route without full coaling facilities. TC3 users may find they need to add a speed board on approach to prevent locos overshooting the loading point.

This tender loader industry was created by Andy Kemplen and Leigh Stokes.

The loader can be found on the additional scenery page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

 

5th Feb

The update for this week is a set of the Suburban coaches in the lined maroon livery.

The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

LNER (ex-NER) Y7 BR Black early livery

Fully compatible with TC3 and includes a custom cab.

Available from www.44090digitalmodels.co.uk for £4.99

 

30th Jan

This week we have two content updates and a new loco to add to your TC3 fleet.

The first update is for all four of the Class 24 locomotives included in TC3.

Numbering has been fixed and a texture has been replaced on the roof grill.

You can find the new Class 24s on the 'Updates' page.

The next update is for the 8T Cattle Wagon.

This is a change to prevent the debug script messages that are being seen by some users.

You can find the new cattle wagon on the 'Updates' page as well.

Moving onto the content offering for this week, which is a new loco to expand the fleet for TC3.

This Class 45 'Peak' locomotive has most of the usual features to be found on our locos, with changeable headcodes, animated couplers, and crew.

The locomotive was built by Tony Weber (trw1089) with some additional work by Paul Hobbs.

Currently the cab is aliased to the built-in Class 37 cab as we thought you would rather have the loco as it is now than wait for us to build a cab for it as well.

The loco can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

You will also need to download the engine sounds for this loco from the DLS as we do not have permission to distribute that through this site. A link for a direct download from the DLS is included on the page with the loco download.

More updates and additions next week.

 

15th Jan

First item for this week is a listing all of the content available on this website. This should help people track down any missing items they have.

You can find the link to the page at the bottom of the 'Content' page.

It is also available to be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet.

Moving onto the content offering for this week, which is a new wagon to expand the rolling stock fleet for TC3.

Created by Andy Kemplen, this wagon incudes four new loads and is also configured to take the BD and FM containers. There are three levels of weathering selectable or applied randomly, and the loads have three LOD levels to reduce system impact.

The wagon pack can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

 

8th Jan

The offering this week is a set of the Suburban coaches in the Southern green livery.

The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

 

1st Jan

To start with this week we'd like to make available the documentation for the Cattle Docks we released last week. This comprehensive guide covers the options in the scripting and includes suggested ways of getting the best from this asset. The download location for the cattle dock has been updated to include a link, or it can can be downloaded here as a .pdf file.

The second offering this week is the final variant of the Mk1 passenger carrying coaches we have planned to release.

This version is the RF (Restaurant First) and represents the ones built to diagram 17. Capacity is 24 First Class passengers.

They are available in the usual liveries with interior views.

The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

 

25th Dec

For today's Christmas update we have some new versions of four of the built-in industries.

The first is the update to the lime works which adds the scripting to make this asset 'industry active'. It will automatically replace the lime works in any routes and can also be added to your own new routes.

You will also need to download the limestone aggregate product to go with it and a link to download that can be found with the download link for the industry. If you don't download the product you will have a missing dependency and the new lime works will not show in the surveyor list.

The second update is new versions of the included cattle docks. This update adds the capability to load and unload cattle at these cattle docks. There are 3, 4, and 5 pen docks in the pack.

These will automatically replace the cattle docks in the routes and can also be added to your own new routes.

Finally, Merry Christmas from all the rail-sim.co.uk team and thank you to those who have helped contribute to the continuation of TC3. We'll bring you more updates and additions next week.

 

18th Dec

The offering this week is a new Mk1 coach to add to the collection of rolling stock.

This version is the RBK (Restaurant Buffet Kitchen) and represents the ones built to diagram 26. Capacity is 12 passengers.

They are available in the usual liveries with interior views.

This latest variant leaves us just one more of the Mk1 restaurant coaches we are going to model and after they have all been released we will move on to do some livery packs for the existing and new coaches.

The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

 

11th Dec

This week we have some more of Andy's vehicles.

The pack contains a bulldozer, a bucket loader, and a pair of tracked farming vehicles with a plough.

More updates and additions next week.

 

4th Dec

    14th Nov

    The offering this week is a new Mk1 coach to add to the collection of rolling stock.

    This version is the RB (Restaurant Buffet) and represents the ones built to diagram 24. Capacity is 23 passengers.

    They are available in the usual liveries with interior views.

    This latest variant brings us almost to the end of the types of Mk1 passenger coaches we are going to model and after they have all been released we will move on to do some livery packs for the existing and new coaches.

    We will also be bringing you the Suburban coaches we included in TS2009:S&C

    The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

    More updates and additions next week.

     

    6th Nov

    This week we have another in the range of MK1 coaches.

    This version of the MK1 coach is the RU (Restaurant Unclassified).

    These coaches represent the ones built to diagram 23. Capacity is 33 passengers.

    They are available in the usual liveries with interior views.

    The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

    30th Oct

    This week we have some more of Andy's vehicles.

    Two different ends of the vehicle spectrum are represented here.

    First up is a pair of Reliant Regals, both the car and the van version.

    The next is a GUY Arab double decker bus.

    I'm sure both will be useful additions to many a route.

    More updates and additions next week.

     

    23rd Oct

    This week we continue our series of MK1 coaches.

    This version of the MK1 coach is the RSO (Restaurant Second Open).

    These coaches represent the ones built to diagram 56. Capacity is 48 passengers.

    The restaurant open stock used loose chairs and it was in this respect that they differed from the other open stock.

    They are available in the usual liveries with interior views.

    More updates and additions next week.

     

    16th Oct

    This week we extend the range of upper quadrant signals.

    Elevated Shunting discs
    Bracket signal kits
    Accessories

    See the signals page for a full list of the package contents.

    You can find the signals on the 'Content' page under 'Additional Signals' or click the image in the 'latest content' box over to the right to go straight to the download page.

    More updates and additions next week.

     

    9th Oct

    This week we have some more road vehicles from Andy Kemplen and a scenery item.

    The first offering this week is a pair of Bedford Duple Vega coaches.

    There is one in the livery of AK Coaches and a second in that of Clues Coaches.

    Next is a Plaxton Panorama which is based on a Bedford VAL chassis.

    The three coaches are available in a single pack on the 'Scenery' page.

    Finally for this week we have a pair of school boy train spotters sitting on a wooden crate. A common sight at the end of many a platform during the 50s and 60s we're sure you'll find a home for these two.

    The boys can also be found on the 'Scenery' page

    More updates and additions next week.

     

    2nd Oct

    This week we continue our series of MK1 coaches and introduce the next of the catering vehicles.

    This one is the RK (Restaurant Kitchen) coach built to diagrams 701 and 702. These have no passenger seating but are marshalled between restaurant or open coaches to provide a catering service.

    They are available in the usual liveries, but as they have no seating there are no interior views with these ones.

    The picture here shows the different sides of the coaches.

    More updates and additions next week.
