No Slip i dont think so i remember the train going back south about 5:30 in the afternoon the train was pulled by two very spruced up Jubilee,s I know one for sure was South Africa and i think the second one was Trinidad. :) . Now Just hang on a minute John :) Whats all this about Signalmen???????? ...

Sometime in the early 1950s it was decided that her majesty the queen and Prince Phillip would visit Lancashire and her Majestys mode of transport would be the Royal train. Special rules were used when H.R.H travelled.The royal train ran as a double deepdene,This meant that instead of the normal lin...

No problem Barry i have been out for most of the day so didnt really check the posts properly

I was talking about msts 2 So the nude stand up bit is off i think although i suppose i could be held to account for inacurate posting.

Sure Chris would be pleased to help out in any way i can.

Well i did some scenery for the Glasgow-carlisle route and it looks great was thinking of contacting the author with a view to re uploading it.

Thanks for the mideast info Matt Well i,m staying with msts so i will be extending my subs thing is though i cant contribute much to the site in the way of routes e.t.c due to me being a bit gormeless although i am red hot on adding scenery :) buts thats not much good if i cant add track to put the ...

Vern i agree 100% with what you say,Going back to the Amiga 500,600,1200 days there were some good programs about,And your comments about lack of programs for the p.c is also correct.Its got to be xbox or playstation nowdays or the kids dont want to know and they have to be chipped whatever that mea...

Well you might be right matt but i dont rate these xbox and playstation things,So i,m gonna chug along the old Skipton 1920 do a bit of fishing and golfing and spend my twilight years thinking what might have been if we had have got M.S.T.S 2 you know like racing up to York in the black5 :( Sorry no...

Well i dont believe its anything to do with cost of development,Its more to do with MICROSOFT DONT DO GAMES they never have and never will so when they got it back from kuju they were up the creak without a paddle.Thats when i said in more than one post in these forums if M.S.T.S was on the shelves ...

So if a product sells 1,000,000 copies and thats good Matt why is there not gonna be M.S.T.S two? So Kuju gave it back to Microsoft un finished.does it mean there was nobody else competent to do the job?Microsoft can be gits but they aint stupid and i reakon if msts had some money potential then mic...

Terry looking at it from Microsofts point of view (mainly cash) They will know what the sales figures are for trainsim and So will have weighed up the viability of releasing the five routes you mentioned as single add ons.Maybe their conclusions are that its not financially prudent and cut their los...

And while i,m on my soapbox heres another reason M.S.T.S is not worth another version unlike All the versions of M.S.F.S. Trainsim as not spawned anything like the number of add on companys and thats an important issue.Take a look at the Avsim site there are new companys springing up all the time wi...

You confirmed what i said in the original post 1,000,000 copies is a drop in the ocean to a company like Microsoft and not worth the hastle to produce another version.

Microsoft have never been enthusiastic about games M.s.f.s was not originally developed by them it was a private company and Microsoft bought them out but kept the original team employed. The bottom line with M.S.T.S. is it didnt sell enough copies to warrant a second version.In my view if route bui...
