A revised version of the preview and testing version of the Simutrans-Experimental version of Pak128.Britain is now available: download it here. This is a complete pakset and should be installed in its own directory. It is only compatible with Simutrans-Experimental (version 8.0 and higher) - the normal Pak128.Britain should be used with Simutrans-Standard.

This is a preliminary version meant for testing and evaluation, although it should balance better with Simutrans-Experimental than the standard Pak128.Britain. This is a minor bugfix release to deal with some of the issues identified in 0.7 (particularly the tunnels having a maximum weight of 0t), and also to add the catenary removal tools, which are very useful. Here is a full list of changes since 0.7 (a list of changes from 0.6 to 0.7 can be seen here):

CHANGE: Increase the retirement age of the coaching stable.
ADD: English translations for the Volvo 240 estate city car
CHANGE: Allow the GWR Autocoach to run in multiple.
ADD: Electrification removal tool (SDog)
REVERT: Set trolleybus catenary to be introduced in May 1931, the same date as the first trolleybus.
CHANGE: Class 153 can now be upgraded to/from a trolley service
CHANGE: Restore outside.dat, and add version information.
ADD: Stand in buttons for steel rail bridges, yet todo (SDog)
CHANGE: Recalibrate distribution of attractions.
CHANGE: Alter the cost of the Humber Keel
CHANGE: Minor changes to running costs of some road vehicles
CHANGE: Tile border colour is now purple
ADD: Remove electrification options
ADD: Graphics for the BR Standard 5MT
FIX: BR Standard 5MT was not compatible with its tender
CHANGE: Put introduction date of the car carrying wagon back to 1910
CHANGE: City roads can no longer be built by ordinary players
FIX: The masonary road bridge with the unmetalled surface now has the correct graphics
ADD: Missing graphic for the BR Standard 5MT
CHANGE: Reduced starting capital to 250,000c
