GRF History
The first vehicle I drew for the updated version was the 4-4-0 Edwardian, based on the 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.
Changes from UKRS
- All vehicles have been redrawn to a slightly smaller scale, reflecting the smaller loading gauge found in the UK. 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.
- Wagon running costs.
- More variety in rolling stock and special train layouts (driving cabs, etc).
- Earlier start date. PJ1K includes locomotives from 1870.
- NARS compatibility. NARS 2.1 and PJ1K have comparable running and purchase costs, the same variable cost routines, and recognise each others cabooses and other special vehicles.
Vehicle list changes
Steam
- Added the Spinner, Goods, Mogul and Mickey.
- Pre-1920 introduction dates for the Industrial, Jinty, Edwardian and Mineral.
- Replaced the "Standard 5" with the Jubilee.
- Removed the 0-6-0 Freight Engine, 2-6-4 Tank Engine and 2-10-0 Freight Engine.
Diesel
- Added the Sulzer Type 4 and BREL Class 58.
- Removed the EE 10000, Deltic, Class 67 and Vossloh.
Electric
- Added the BREL Class 90.
- Removed the Eurostar.
Multiple Units
Added the AEC Railbus and A-Train. Removed the AM2, Sprinter and Pendolino.
Futuristic
Removed all futuristic locomotives except the Junker.
