The link didn't work for me either.

Well, the Horsham branch sprang to mind for a few reasons: 1). Cranleigh is quite a large town to be lackng in a railway connection. 2). Yesterday I made the journey Cheam - Guildford, and thought this might be useful, considering Dorking to Dorking Deepdene is severly inconvienent (the timetables d...

Guildford - Cranleigh - Horsham (perhaps an idea for a community railway?). I know it's an unlikely one, but a nice idea, all the same. Defnitely right about the Woodhead route though. Shame all plans don't include electrifying it - 25kvAC, of course, DC operation would be a little pointless (why do...

Are you following the train with the camera? Sometimes not doing it will distort pictures.

Hmm, why did the Intercity liveried 31 look like it hadn't been painted since about 1990, then? I Didn't see a 73, for that matter.

Hi On 12/5, I noticed a pair of 31s lurking in Clapham Junction sheds. I didn't think they were Eurostar thunderbirds (normally 37s), and one, surprisingly, was in (albeit shabby) intercity livery. Can anyone tell me what they were doing there? Thanks Nick PS: If anyone saw a puzzled looking guy in ...

I guess that in TrainSim world virtually any combo can be tried so keeping things realistic is hard. With regards to DCR I have yet to see a class 442/444/450 or 458 coupled to anything but another of the same class. Class 159/170 combos are quite common but I have never seen a 159+170+159 set so k...

New initiative to expand luggage capacity proves dissapointing.

Where did you download them from? I've used them for GR2 and PTK activities before without problems. I got mine from the-train.de. According to the German readme from that, the folder in Trainset should be named "Rlmmps". If this wasn't the folder name used, that could solve your problems. I hope th...

Very nice inceed; which route is it?

Nick

I've seen the 159/170 combinations a lot too.

I've got some activities with MP-54s on NECv4 (though there are also some for v2) I also recommend looking for more electric locomotives on train-sim.com - as Geoff mentioned, the AEM7s in that pack are good, and I would also recommend the NALW GG1s for older activities.

New steam-diesel hybrid on trial in the US aims to reduce carbon emissions.

Shhh! I don't want the CIA to find us here!

I don't think there's the market for another North-South mainline, it would not be economically sensible without closing the London-Scotland routes on either the ECML or WCML. The money would be best spent on re-doing the WCML upgrade properly, or spreading electrification to the GWML and MML, or p...
