Head-to-head with Kuju!
Today's announcement by Kuju that their forthcoming Rail Simulator is due for release on 5th October has added a bit of impetus to my efforts. One of the routes included in the simulator package is Paddington to Oxford, which of course overlaps with my MSTS route. So is this the beginning of the end for my route?
Not at all. On 5th October I'm due to be in central Edinburgh and a visit to 'Game' in Princes Street to purchase said product is a temptation I'll find very hard to resist. I'm looking forward to seeing what Kuju have done - not just how their new sim compares with MSTS - but how they've modelled the Oxford route features, how true-to-life it is, how well it captures the atmosphere. It may give me some ideas.
There will be a huge amount of activity related to KRS over the next few months, particularly as modellers get to grips with building KRS-compatible objects, but in the meantime I'll be plodding on with MSTS and see if I can complete my project before KRS2 comes out. (Well, there's bound to be one...isn't there?)
Meanwhile, here's Didcot Railway Centre's very own no. 5051 Earl Bathurst on the demonstration line.
