Will see if I can arrange a photo, but will take a couple of days probably. The way the setup works is the video projector projects the image onto the wipeboard, which is touch sensitive, so in cab view a finger on the control on the board image has the same effect as as pointer and right mouse. Not...

Alternative interface for MSTS

I don't know if anyone else has come across or tried this, but being a science teacher I have recently had an interactive wipeboard installed in my classroom. This in effect gives me a screensize of about three feet by four feet all of which is touch sensitive. The I found out it is compatable with ...

A route does not have to be long to be intresting, one of my favorites is verns south tyne, a short route withe plenty of operational intrest.
I would be intested to see a commercail add on with say three or four shorter routes included, what does everyone else think, any suggestions.

I tried the picadilly line being an underground fan. I am grateful to the programmers of this line for their hard work, but was personally disapointed. There is an excellent reference availible in the form of video 125 drivers eye view of the picadilly, which covers the whole of the network except U...

Have spent a bit of time on BVE, as freeware I think it is excellent, but I am not sure what my thoughts would be if I had to pay for it. The one feature that seeme to let it down is lack of moving AI traffic.
To get BVE running (at least on my PC) you must disable 3d acceleration.

I brough trainz UTC in my local supermarket, it has had a budget repakage, and sells for £5:99.
Installed it, played around, and cannot figure out what I am supposed to do with it or what the point of it is.

Speed limits, svr and wsr

Is it possible to write activitoes for these routes in their pre light railway days when speeds of more than 25mph were permissable.
I enjoy bothe these routes, but find the speed limits a little frustrating.

Virtual route linking

I know there has been a lot of disscusion on this subject, but instead of actualy linking two routes togetehr, would it be possible to virtually link them by an activity? What I heve in mind is a bit different to spanned activities, the way I see it it would work like this, suppose you wanted to set...
