OK I know someone's already suggested this route, but Marylebone (or better still Paddington via the Greenford curve) to Snow Hill circa 1950 layout with the North Warwicks line to Stratford-on-Avon including the Hatton-Stratford-on-Avon link as well! This would mean a complete circular route - come...

For those who may be interested, it appears a "new" railtour company has arisen from the ashes of the FM Rail/Hertfordshire Railtours Blue Pullman collapse. Whilst I may be wrong, it very much appears to me that (probably most of) the original HRT staff have reformed into a new company called UK Rai...

This is the same route as the old Birmingham to paddington except it changes at High Wycombe to go to marylebone' The gradients from Banbury to High Wycombe are in the Ian Allen "Gradient profiles" book route W11 cheers Well if you mean the original route that runs from Paddington to Birmngham Snow...

Hi: can someone clear up an issue that's been bugging me for a couple of years now. A couple of years ago I bought the Middleton Press book "Banbury to Birmingham" which mentioned that the signal box near Widney Manor station (a little way north of the road bridge over Widney Lane) closed in Septemb...

The primary difference being it worked properly and logs didn't :P Either that or the deltic body, anyway :wink: :fadein: Yes, this has always been one of the minor mysteries of British diesel locomtive history: both DP2 and the class 50s had identical generators & traction motors fitted. On DP2 th...

Thanks all, I'll go and register.

Bit worrying about the possible need for a subscription in the future though!

...couldn't think of anywhere better to put it! Does anyone know what's happened to the excellent web site that used to be http://www.therailwaycentre.com which had SUPERB pictures, histories and tech info about British diesel & electric locos? It seems to be something completely different now! Chee...

Don't get me started on Dick and Dom in the bungalow....can't they find anything decent to show to kids these days? We should be showing them that is enjoyable but at the same time educational, something that dosn't involve gunge or dancing around in silly costumes...something about railways :wink:...

Hello BruceB Nice to hear from you again after all this time :) I am looking to create the route in "finescale" this time round. The route will be created in its GWR bays and will include all stations to Watlington. If you have any drawings etc. of buildings along the line please e-mail them. Cheer...

Another thought! From what you describe, my gut feeling says this is a motherboard chipset driver problem. Have you installed the motherboard chipset drivers for WinXP? Have a look in Device Manager in the System Devices for both WinXP installations & compare devices. Specifically check that the Pro...

OK - so I have managed to get the new SATA raptor disc recognised, partitioned and XP installed :D Upgraded from 512 to 1Gig of RAM at the same time, and have re-installed MSTS and my favourite add-on routes and stock. Problem is my pc is much much slower than before. 3DMark scores are about half w...

Trans-Siberian anybody? :lol: I think something to Stratford Upon Avon has been done by Vern as part of the SMJ route (worth downloading anyway). Regards Dan That's correct, but strictly speaking, when the SMJ route was open, Stratford uA had TWO stations. Stratford uA station which still exists an...

How about moving block signalling as per the Docklands railway ? Or am I getting carried away ? I thought this type of signalling was better known as "track circuit block" i.e. where the signal stays at green until the train goes past it when it turns red. When the train reaches the next signal/blo...
