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 po...

Lovely shots, there. Reminds me of times I visited the line when I was younger - that 9F is very familiar. I also recognise that miserable weather - same rain as I had at home this weekend.

I think there's a Metroliner EMU available on train-sim.com - or you could go back in time as there are definitely some old PRR EMUs on there - I recommend the MP-54s. It may be worth perusing their file library.

SWT guards make announcements regarding the quiet coaches, and most people seem happy to follow the instruction (they have quiet coaches on all the diesels, and the longer distance EMUs. No idea if the 455 stock has quiet coaches. If southern wanted to put the stickers up, then they could. Enforcin...

A good time to be buying add-ons?

I just noticed some particularly good value train-sim add-ons around; has anyone else noticed any others?

BATS Southern Region 16.99

West Somerset Railway 9.95 (euros)

Are add-ons getting cheaper these days?

The challenge is: Only opening the gates inwards, get the locomotive off the level crossing leaving all the gates intact.

Well, I think it should go on my shopping list (which seems to just get bigger and bigger). I'm amused that everyone talks about the diesels; I was more interested in the steam fleet - I liked the picture of the 9F and the GWR tank. I probably won't buy it for a bit - it sounds like it might distrac...
