HEAR! HEAR! Thanks to all uploaders, Thanks to all who've tried to help out through the forums and "keep on trying" to all those who've given their time for us and hit a snag. The International Train Sim community has, through truly unselfish endeavour, raised Train Sim to heights that Microsoft/Kuj...

This isn't a commercial!!!! I'm just a "punter" like many of you. But this is a rather good deal. I've always been a bit sceptical about paying for sound packages. A pure personal point of view. A mental block if you like. When I hear a good sound effect in MSTS it really makes me pay attention. For...

I noticed on teletext tonight that the industrial action was off as there was an agreement to increase track inspections. On the face of it a reasonable result? I defer to those of you with specific knowledge of the industry. :o Sometimes the Union has to Huff and Puff to alert the management to the...

I do hope this is not going to be another "preserved" line. This is not a criticism of SVR. Excellent stuff. My point is that this was an interesting line, serving as it did, Industrial sites, local services and during "the season" tourist trains from London and other cities. There's an interesting ...

Hi Mark As a Union rep in one form or another for most of my working life I'd like to say that your description of your union activities is pretty much my experience too. The work that unions do in conjunction and co-operation with personnel or "human resources" (H R always smacks of cannon fodder t...

Hi Ian Thanks for the info. Any Route builder is always going to use the "best bits" for posting a screenshot, so I was interested in the feedback. The Screenshots for these routes are pretty impressive. The downloads of Italian stock are also impressive and I guess that most fans will welcome any r...

Tim, Updating of your route is more interesting to many of us than MSTS2?! It was the best, still is the best, UK route so far. There have been plenty of excellent UK routes since and well executed too, but none quite reaches the scope, range of activities, and overall "feel" of MidEast. The detail ...

You left off British Rail!!

It's a common modern myth that you can't go back to where you started from.

It may not be the same when you get back there.......

But it's still a viable option as a change of direction.

Were you a fan of, and I really sincerely don’t mean to patronise you here, and are you old enough to have watched Spitting Image? If so you may well have been bemused by the portrayal of journalists as pigs! I went to school in an era when journalism was considered a worthy and respectable profes...

Hi Guys, It's taken a while for me to scan these and (having been a photographic technician for a number of years) I've "tampered" with the originals to try and get the colours as "neutral" as possible. In view of my knowledge of the limitations of Colour film stock (both negative and positive "slid...

Nice picture John. That is one elegant piece of coachwork. I was lucky enough to get a look at some real US streamliner end coaches at a museum in Galveston this summer. Both examples show that we may have "advanced" in design technology but not necessarily kept an appreciation of elegance and luxur...

Hi Steve, Technical question. The Perspective on the image shown above is somewhat squashed. I'm aware that there are different "projections" that maps are made to, but my question is whether or not this distorted projection is transferred to a tile or whether this is just a "fluke" of the software ...

In case you've not found it yet? I notice your original post got no replies 6 months ago. I revisited this site: http://www.trainsimarena.com/ing/ Where there appear to be three apparently very good looking routes. Came to this forum for any reviews or comments and was surprised to find just your po...

You guy's might like to take a look at this site: http://www.a1-electronics.net/index.shtml I'm not claiming it's the holy grail, but they do seem to give considered reviews of basic components. If you read their reviews on Graphics cards they are very critical of "fast"cards with "." drivers for in...

Hi Martin (s) SNAP! Excellent Service and best deal I know of for ADSL if you don't already have a cable supply. Even then you need to read the small print/specs before you rush off to sign up for cable "broadband". Some of it is "Broader" than others and the more bandwidth the more you pay. If anyo...
