GoingNorth, I hope you're not maligning my driving! :2gunfire: The breakage seems to occur at any speed when just cruising along on sufficient power to maintain the speed. I've tried taking the bounding box values off the point sections, but that hasn't worked, and I dislike the coupling fix for oth...

I have to agree with BasilDD that the random uncoupling is already possible! I've been playing around with Seattle route available from another site that shall remain nameless(!) and it uncouples behind the first loco on just about every set of facing points. If, of course, you alter the coupling va...

I was bought driving a Castle class at Tyseley for my 40th in May, by my sister & brother-in-law, which I am taking up in early August. Obviously I haven't been yet, but the setup looks very professional. Also nice small groups - no more than three in a group. Will report back to the forum when I've...

Sounds like one of those South African beasties.......

dforrest,

I got this problem after I had installed some of the German steam locos - but even removing them didn't help, so I ended up having to reinstall TS. Aaargh!

Sorry this isn't much more help

Ooops !

Sorry Andy! Not quite sure how I got confused, but anyway a big thank you for this excellent route!

Dear SteveS, I used to work freight trains over the Manningtree branch in the period 84-88 and you have managed to recreate it pretty much as I remember it before electrification, and before they removed most of the signal boxes. Parkeston Quay station is a masterpiece, and I nearly fell off my chai...

I've said this before, but I think it bears repeating. Be very careful of judging your system's performance on the MSTS frame rate. As an experiment a few months ago I loaded MSTS on to a brand new all singing, all dancing top of the range PC at work. Running MSTS on it with everything maxed out on ...

Buffy500,

thanks for all the great work to date - enjoy the holiday.

Favourite Goon Show lines: From Tales of Old Dartmoor: Bloodnok: "Stand by to repel boarders!" Seagoon: "How do you repel boarders?" Bloodnok: "Stop changing the bed linen!" AND Eccles: Land ahoy! FX: Huge crash as of ship running aground, cracking timbers, falling masts, etc. This goes on for about...

Norman's models are a damn site better than anything I've managed to achieve, and given I'd much rather spend the time running the trains than building them, probably a damn site better than anything I will achieve! They may not be "perfect", but they look pretty good running about in a busy activit...

Well the one at home currently has a West Highland 37 and a load of Railfreight coal wagons on James Hunt's Modern England Line, but the work one has a rather fetching picture of Ms Nicole Kidman!

20 miles out of Liverpool Street, at least 9 trains an hour off peak, at least 3 of those 1st or 2nd stop London, usually on time, clean and reliable. Biggest problems are when the Anglia 86's pull the wires down! :D Fare wise getting to London is expensive in the peak, not too bad in the off; but g...

The Windows 2000 disk should be bootable - go into the CMOS settings at startup and change the drive boot order so that CD-ROM is first. Then insert the Win2K CD, and restart the machine - it should boot from the CD-ROM.

The correct terms when using diesels/electrics for double-heading were: Multiple - control jumper cables allow the driver of the lead locomotive to control both locos from the driver's desk. No crew is required on the second loco. Tandem - locos are driven by independant crews, communication is by m...
