Project 1000 is the latest version of the UK Renewal Set. It is currently in development; no release is expected soon.

The 'official' acronym for the set is PJ1K. The 'official' full name of the set is Project 1000 (UKRS).

GRF History

Scale comparison of various steam locomotives
Development of Project 1000 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 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.
