BR (LNER) Peppercorn K1: Quick Update

As promised we will be doing a full breakdown of all of the K1's features soon but today it's a quick update to show some things that have been added at the last moment.

We've included a set of 3 headboards for the BR and LNER liveries - selectable via the scenario loco number or via keyboard during play.



The first 2 are very popular with steam rail tours and should allow the K1 to fit very nicely on modern routes. The last one is a nod to the talent behind the Weardale & Teesdale Network Route and features in one of the 8 included scenarios with the K1, which is based on an actual 1960's rail tour to Weardale.

We are also really excited to announce that in an arrangement with Steam Sounds Supreme we will be using their new freight and wagon sounds for all of the K1 rolling stock (see the previous 3 blog posts for details of it all), and also for all future rolling stock from Victory Works.
As usual Matt has worked his audio magic and they sound terrific.
Check out the sample video

    1. Sadly we have not been able to obtain permission to use that name - however much like the red GWR 4575 Prairie I'm sure an industrious soul will find a solution for the community ;-)

    3. Hmmm, that's a really good idea! We're on the cusp of handing it over for testing but if we can find a couple of hours spare I'll see what we can do.
      Thank you!

    1. Page 35-36 of the manual show how to set up the options on the K1. You can use these to remove the nameplate.
