Advanced Passenger Train - APT

I may have imagined it, but was there, at one point, an APT available for BVE?

If so, is it still floating around anywhere?

hi,yes there was not sure where to get it from tho.jack

Thanks, hopefully someone knows where it can be found.

Reason I ask is I took my son to the Crewe Heritage Centre today and had a look around the real thing.

It does exists! But in my very own personal opinion, it's not really worth it. I dowloaded it probably a year or so ago from a then-gone page using the Wayback Machine. If I recall correctly, it was from the site where Class 350 HQ, a 9-car 158, Class 91 and some other trains were hosted. Sadly I can't remeber the name nor offer you the APT files because I deleted them lol

Hoping external links are permited. Here is a Youtube video (not mine) showcasing the train: youtube.com/watch?v=2t5kKD4hnXU

Here is the former BVETMD site, where I just found a cab-view-only APT is/was hosted: http://web.archive.org/web/20160316025809/http://bvetmd.org.uk/emudl.htm

And the exteriors: http://www.bve-terminus.org/bve-library/exteriors.htm

The links are all dead I think. So the only way to get it is to ask someone for a copy.

(I have full permission to rehost his stuff. I uploaded most of what I had a few years ago, but this one seems to have been missed)

Oh wow nice, but I guess the external view will remain unavailable

That's somewhat more difficult, and unfortunately unpostable.

It was primarily created by Alan Wheeler with input from Andy Thompson, and is entangled with various longstanding community 'issues' as a result.

Please do not post / link this here.

With that, I feel this thread has run it's course, and I'm closing it.

Many things have happened in the past, and unfortunately we're unable to change them, and re-opening old issues is never helpful.
