A new official version of pak128.Britain adapted to work with Simutrans-Experimental has been released today!
This version includes some substantial updates from 0.8, including support for the liveries feature, snow graphics for most industries, a large number of new pre-grouping steam locomotives, and full support for the minimum/maximum loading times feature introduced in Simutrans-Experimental 10.0. The pakset is eminently playable in its current state, and has been refined by several years of playing and testing, including, more recently, online playing.
You can download the new version from here.

After the proliferation of new experimental paksets and forum activity around this project, the administrators of the International Simutrans Forum have decided to set up a new Experimental section and discussion forum. It will be useful to be able to separate development and non-development related topics connected to Simutrans-Experimental.
There’s a discussion board for general issues, a development board for extension requests and patches, and also a paksets board. In addition to that, all the existing threads and posts from the Simutrans-Experimental development board have been moved there. Thus in the future, remember to take care and use the appropriate board, now that we have more from which to choose!
