Also worth noting is that most loco's and rolling stock ended up the same, uniform colour after a while - dirty black - as the cleaners were recruited or conscripted into the armed forces!
On the railway theme, can I repeat a question that I raised when this forum first started? In the first half of the twentieth century in the UK there were very few single track railway lines. Most of the main routes were in fact made up of four separate tracks, two for express trains, up and down, and two for slow trains either freight or slow passenger. The number often expanded to as many as six where the lines came closer to London, sometimes more. It would be good, essential even, to see this modelled in BoB. Railways were an essential navigation tool for aircraft of both sides. Continuing on the theme - these huge lines were incapable of being camouflaged, especially at night in good weather. Railway tracks in regular use literally gleam in moonlight, and are visible as high as twenty thousand feet. The Luftwaffe used them as a visual aid for finding & bombing London. I hope this has been considered. B

As always, brilliant work.
Quick question: How complex are the damage models going to be for these? Also, are there any obstacles to adding a cockpit to these (ie. obstacles in the model, obviousaly. Oleg's tools and implementation of railways are a completely different issue).

Thanks! I am much honoured...
I think you could probably use the "Nord" plate as well (true also for 230 and 231 for instance) as it means the ex-"Nord" company network to become the NORD SNCF network, which is the one of interest for SoW BoB. It is perfectly possible that not all the loco got the "SNCF" logo plate in time for some reason. I also believe that the registration shown "040 D 245" designated an ex G8.1 loco belonging to the EST SNCF network. The NORD network got also G8.1 but SNCF-registered as "2-040 D 1 (to 212)" and 501 to 555. On the front marking the region designator ("2" here) is usually missing. Amically JV PS What kind of combat flight simulation is this where we exchange about the finer points of loco registration?
