Hi all,

The Class 142 for BVE4 has now been released!

The train features all the BVE4 plug-in features, which included fully functional train safety systems, working switches, door interlock and wipers, as well as realistic gear change at 41mph.

The train has been based around the cab graphics from Graham Parkin (MSTS), but the cab has been heavily modified by myself and Martin Corbett. Thank you to him for the massive amount of effort he put into the project – without him the train wouldn’t have been possible. Thanks also to Zane Saxton for a few sounds here and there as well as the gauges, and John Own for the engine start/stop sounds.
Can I also thank the testing team at TSC (Zane, Steve, Simon and others), who’s comments have changed the train for the better.

To give it a try visit www.bveroutes-trains.co.uk/trains to download. There is also an added option to download extra wheel-flat sounds.

Enjoy! :)

That is well "PRO" ;)

Really good train Rich, fun to drive. Put the wheelflats on as it seems standard for a pacer to have them! Will give it a try on the Tyne Valley later, will fit in really well with that route.
