Updates and improvements to the Kuju Class 165/166

This route also includes a number of updates and improvements to the Kuju Class 165/166 to allow more realistic scenarios in the represented route era. It includes an upgrade to the default livery, along with two new liveries, with variations for the two classes. Moreover, the unit has been re-scripted from scratch to greatly improve the driving experience, with features we're accustomed to in newer rolling stock. This also includes a re-write of the physics, so it should handle far more realistically, having used both manufacturer and real-world driver data to achieve this. Lastly, there have been a number of minor improvements to the base functionality to fix issues such as the AWS warning sound not looping and the AWS sunflower not being visible at night. Please see below for a list of some of the key features. Further details can be found in the accompanying manual for the unit.

  • Liveries: FGW Dynamic Lines, FGW Plain Blue (Class 166 only), GWR Green
  • Realistic acceleration and braking physics taken from real-world data
  • Correctly simulated emergency braking situations
  • Automatic unit numbering
  • User-controllable destination panel
  • Various other improvements to cab functionality, the train exterior and sounds

5L17 0820 Salisbury T&R.S.M.D. to Southampton Central / 1L17 0915 Southampton Central to Exeter St Davids
Due to engineering works shutting the line between Salisbury and Basingstoke, as well as between Basingstoke and Woking to set up a temporary slew of the down fast as a result of the Hook landslip, SWR operated diverted West of England services on the Wessex Main Line over the weekend of 21-22 January 2023.

On the Saturday, the regular 'Romsey Rocket' services ran as normal, with the diverted services running fast between Salisbury, Southampton and Basingstoke, but on the Sunday the diverted services replaced the local services between Southampton and Salisbury (with the exception of 2S97, which you will follow as 1L17), resulting in pairs of Class 159s operating stopping services along the route – an unusual sight to say the least!

Whilst most ran between Basingstoke and Exeter, 1L17, the 08:37 departure from Basingstoke, was cancelled, with 5L17 being run as an ECS from Salisbury T&R.S.M.D. to Southampton Central to start the service to Exeter there instead. In this scenario you will drive both 5L17 and 1L17, handing over to another driver to continue to Exeter at Salisbury.
