Good point Elojikal, nostalgia does funny things! Isnt it strange though that TfL has just taken over North London Rail with a pledge to put more guys on the platforms!

You probably can mate, if you want to end up in a signalbox or station masters office you normally start as a porter on the platforms. Otherwise if you want to work on restorating carriages/locos you will probably start in the relevant works. Same for permanent way or signals usually. If you want to...

Hi Mate, Some engines are much dirtier than others though... This one for example: http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/pics/q1_mike_esaus.jpg Bulleid spent years in a wind tunnel designing that thing to get as much dirt on the crew as possible!! I only had a few goes, but it was really diffic...

And has just been pointed out to me that I have not yet built a set of travelling steps. A curious piece of stock that was coupled to a train which would allow passengers to cross the tracks! Andrew, CME, Bodgit & Scarper Engineering. Just to quantify that, if a train arrived at a station the passe...

What screen resolution are you running there? My MSTS doesnt look that good!

You drove on steam on the met??? How did you wangle that one?!!!

can anyone think of an engine when he isnt The ffestiniogs england locos I think... You learn something new every day! Most road engines are driven on the reversers, standard practice really with road engines, certainly on long pulls on the road. Leave the regulator set and then notch forwards and ...

Yes, it all depends on which side the driver is standing. if on the left(in the picture then driving with the reverser is possible, but on the right, it's not really. Driving on the reverser is possible on some steam engines, i've certainly seen drivers on the W&L using the reverser on 85 to provid...

Whats that supposed to mean??? Surely driving on the reversor is giving it full regulator then notching up...the monorail is steep but its not exactly Shap!

Hi Chris

I have yet to download the route, but its on my list. It looks great and these improvements will make it better I am sure. Dont put too many of those traction engines in though, or we will all run late from slowing down to watch them

Andy

Have sent you a pm.

Ok.....
Have changed a few variables, and the whistle now sounds continually on the external view. I have also lost the cylinder cocks and a few lines on the HUD. Can anybody help???

Andy

I think Murray has it there. If the A4s havent been built the Duchesses would have taken the record. If not them then an American or German engine. But if there were no A4s, would the bathtubs have been built? This could go on for ages...

I will pm you later, there is a few things i could add.

Nope, just ballast, rails and dont forget overhead wires...and lots of roadworks while its all built! I well remeber the building of the Croydon Tramlink. Once its done though its great - trams all the way!
