COR!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, it's a funny thing, but only the other day, whilst 3d model making, it occured to me that there really should be no boundries to what we chose to bulid.
This "route"? looks great and I'm downloading as I type. And downloading routes is not something that that I do often these days!

Well Done, Philippe Crogiez,

Hi

Someone ought to do a differnet ev file for daylight, and make it black with stars, as the moon has no atmosphere. There are some great photos on the Nasa site that could be used.

Just downloaded and installed - couldn't find a batch file, so let route-riter check and copy necessary files from default routes. Also snow textures missing, but then since the moon as no atmosphere it can't rain or snow anyway!!

All in all, a good fun route, and well worth the download (28mb for the route and 8 for the trainset - plus a few k for the consists and global sms files)

Excellent, and very imaginative, especially the trains. Megan is going to love this one (she's a committed Seaview fan). More power to him, I say. I'll drop him an e-mail of encouragement when I've got it installed.

Hi,
What a 'Hoot' this route is. ! If someone can build a bridge between the Moon and 'Didcot', we could have GWR up and running across the moon. LOL. I have sent the author a thank you note, as I feel that with encouragement, he may extend the route even more. Many thanks for the link.

You might have a bit of trouble raising boiler pressure with a GW engine on the moon. They were well designed but even Chuirchward wasn't that clever!

Thanks for the heads-up Ian. I put mine in a different (new) trains folder so I never noticed that.

Hmmm...Brunel's atmospheric railway; didn't that use two flanges of leather greased with animal oils to make the seal? Might need a technology overhaul to work in zero atmosphere possibly.
