The '''UK Railway Set''' (UKRS 2) is the updated version of the [[UK Renewal Set]].  It is currently in development.

__TOC__
==GRF History==
[[Image:Scalecomp.png|thumb|right|Scale comparison of various steam locomotives]]Development began in mid-2009, with the intention of making a [[NARS]]-compatible version of the UKRS.  This version would have NARS-style variable running costs, a 19th-century start date, and slightly rescaled vehicles to represent the difference in loading gauge between the UK and the rest of the world.

The first vehicle I drew for the updated version was the [[4-4-0 Edwardian]], based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midland_Railway_1000_Class Midland Railway 1000 Class].  As I wanted a new name for the set (to get away from that horrible "renewal" word), it became "Project 1000", after this locomotive.  Later, I decided the UKRS acronym was too well known to give up. :)

===Changes from UKRS===
*All vehicles have been redrawn to a slightly smaller scale, reflecting the smaller loading gauge found in the UK and moving away from the modified TTD graphics found in UKRS.  Vehicle lengths are also more representative.
*Variable running costs.  Locomotives have higher running costs while moving than while stationary, and also become more expensive to run as they age.
*Takes advantage of new OpenTTD features such as wagon running costs and auto-refitting.
*More variety in rolling stock and special train layouts (driving cabs, etc).  More livery pattern variations over time, and a [[real-world-like colours]] feature.
*Earlier start date.  PJ1K is fully playable from 1830.
*[[NARS]] compatibility.  NARS 2.1 and PJ1K will have comparable running and purchase costs, the same variable cost routines, and recognise each others [[caboose]]s and other special vehicles.

|-
|Locomotive Selection 
|The following options are available:<br>
'''No Locomotives''' - No locomotives available.  Useful if you want to use the wagons only with a different train set.<br> 
'''[[:Category:Small Selection (UKRS2)|Small Selection]]''' - A selection of 10 20th century locomotives, no 3rd rail vehicles.  Useful for playing with multiple train sets.<br>      
'''[[:Category:Transport Tycoon Style (UKRS2)|Transport Tycoon Style]]''' - A range of locomotives similar to the original Transport Tycoon, no 3rd rail vehicles.  Ideal for new or younger players.<br>
'''Normal''' - The regular range of vehicles in the set.  This is the default setting.<br>   
'''[[:Category:Extended (UKRS2)|Extended]]''' - The normal range of vehicles, plus 3rd party contributions created for the [[UK Railway Add-on Set]].
|-
|Wagon Selection 
|The following options are available:<br>
'''No Wagons''' - No wagons available.  Useful if you want to use the locomotives only with a different train set.<br> 
'''Transport Tycoon Style''' - A range of wagons similar to the original Transport Tycoon, with no introduction or expiry dates and one wagon for each default cargo.  Ideal for new or younger players.<br>
'''Normal''' - The regular range of vehicles in the set.  This is the default setting.<br>   
'''Extended''' - The normal range of vehicles, plus 3rd party contributions created for the [[UK Railway Add-on Set]].
|-
|Single Livery
|Trains will not change livery scheme over time (Not yet implemented).
|-
|Real Colours
|Trains will use real-world-like colours instead of Transport Tycoon company colours.  This includes factors like locomotives changing livery over time (eg wartime black), and carriages changing to the appropriate livery for the locomotive hauling them.<br><br>
Note that this is not intended to provide a full survey of historical British trains; it's merely a little easter egg for those who prefer 'realistic' looking trains.
|-
|Real-coloured containers
|Use 'real colours' on the Freightliner containers, even when trains use company colours.
|-
|Enable Dynamic Engine Pool
|Allow using this set with non-compatible train sets.  Be warned that this may result in unexpected behaviour.
|-
|Disable Running Sounds
|Disable train running sounds (steam chuffs, diesel and electric train hums).  Does not affect horn sounds.
