Any old externals still available?

[Phil6219]

I know a while back there was a wiki which specialised in BVE and had a rather nice catalogue of external views, sadly most if not all have gone due to the various websites going under.

Does anyone have any of the following they could send me or send a link to their new home?

Mark 2 carriages in Blue & Grey, Scotrail, RR and NSE
Mark 3 carriages in Intercity Swallow, Scotrail (not sure if the site had the latter)
HST in Blue & Grey and Intercity Swallow or Exec.

We have the excellent locos but seem to be short on matching coaching stock to stick behind them...

Any help appreciated, cheers

Phil

Hi,

The Wiki site was shut down a while ago, there was a reason behind its closure but I personally don't that reason.

Some coach sets can be found at http://www.eezypeazy.co.uk/ . Other sets were available from http://www.bve-terminus.org for a while through their Library but the link seems to be inactive at the moment.

Bye for now,

Stephen.

I think I have a collection of Mk2/Mk3 external repaints, with Class 47's. I'll have a look

You mean these:


I don't think the Mk2s were on the eezypeazys site, just the 47s. The 47s were a derivative of Guillyman's, and the Mk2s were based on the revised TSC model. They were in the BVET library, but haven't been available since.

They're not currently available, but you can download them here, provided the link works. It's a combined version, with a reduced file structure, but you'll need to copy the files from the TSC version and put them in the appropriate place. Or, if you like you can just rummage in there and pull the externals out. Usual conditions on reuse, file headers and all that.

Note to self, finish the Mk1's off, sometime:

Apologies for the delay on my part folks, much appreciated now I can happily mix and match loco's and carriages, well mainly spend most of my days thrashing a BR Blue 37 with Blue & Grey carriages

That shot of the Mark 1 looks really impressive.

There's quite a few, but I need to do a lot of putting numbers and logos on them yet!

Quite like this though, but the underframe needs a few tweaks... it has better bogies now though. It's only an external, but if you use the cab from BVETMD's Class 73 (or the GLV when it's released, and the sounds from Steve Thomas' class 20 (with the horns from the Class 73) you can make an approximation of sorts, if you're happy moving the files around.

Need to add some normals to this, I think, to bring out the shape more:
