Oh man I forgot about this pack, any plans on a release date?
There's no confirmed release date yet - progress has honestly been pretty slow lately, and certainly on my end I can attribute that to being busy with other stuff combined with periods of low motivation - but we still hope to release it in some form or another at some point. So it may be a cliche in its own right, but the release date currently stands at "when it's done". (What I can confirm is that we're hoping we can add the assets to Open Fortress' base game for all its mappers to use; in addition I've been working on an Open Fortress Deathmatch map, DM_Thames, that prominently features the London theme. It's in the game already so if you fancy seeing the assets in situ, hop on and give it a go)
I can't help but notice the coupling method on the Locomotives being the more modern bell and pin or whatever they're called. It would most likely still be Buffer and Chain or at the best support both types.
The trains have the same coupling method as the rest of base TF2's trains to ensure maximum compatibility with existing rolling stock models; it's a small concession to artistic license, but hopefully one that'll work in favour of broader versatility as a whole. (We have talked about implementing custom buffer/trackstop models at some point, so mappers can retrofit existing trains to British specifications, but that'll probably come further down the line - pun intended)
A lil' suggestion. The Phone and Police box should have opened version with separate potable doors.
Will there be Yellow / Gold Postboxes.I know they weren't around in the 60s but we have the R, G, and B ones
We'll bear in mind these suggestions for the future of the pack - if we make versions of the props with enhanced mobility for SFM, open versions for mapping purposes will hopefully follow.
Another little preview to whet your appetites - a brand-new modular set of windows and doors, made for the pack by the talented bakscratch:
