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

GRF History
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 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 cabooses and other special vehicles.
