Shunting activities

[nightbeaver911]

I've still to try the TGV out in MSTS. The real life TGV is brilliant!

Your missing out, if you do download a TGV get the duplex from
http://www.trainsimfrance.net/?cible=downloads2&type=42 it looks great and sounds amazing!

Mostly passenger but some freight. A lot of this is due to the fact that their are far more passenger activities available than freight for all the routes. I do enjoy shunting activities, even more since I got the brilliant 08 cab and sounds, but sadly thier are very few available.

Have you tried my activity "Shunting at the Yard" it features the 08 and is set at Carmarthen in the early 60's. File ID No 6854

non stopping stuff on bve and stopping train's with class 323 sounds on bve as well

LOL, my brother says Freight is the best because its usually different everyday.

I prefere Passenger, because the trains are more varied and there is more responsibility, AND you get to go muchos faster

Suzuki Alto .... whoops .... Martin's done that joke

MGF
hehe i burned off a scooby last week. his turbo lag let him down hehe
will be converting an MGB to big bore V8 next year. lets try 4.5litres

anyway fast passenger, followed by stoppers, sometimes a bit of freight.

Even later with my Peugeot 806 'cruiseliner'. On the MSTS front, as people know I mostly do content, but I am looking forwards to some freight struggle (electric + steam) in the near future.

remember that thought, you'll need it for next time you break down ! (Given most MGF's reliability)

I prefer express services, which is probably why I set up a new activity last night on Modern England stopping only at Cardiff, Manchester, Oxford, Reading and Kings Cross. Still, it's a bloody long way from Manchester to Oxford with no other stops in between!

Not for long matey UK Regional has some stops between Manchester and Oxford stations

Not long to wait now

Thanks

[jjules]

Good to hear that! Bring it on!

Granted
i have money put aside for the inevitable head gasket failure at 50,000 miles.

although having said that, i had a peugeot 306 for a year and in that year it needed a new clutch, recon gearbox, tappet re-align. New brake disks and pads. suspension work. it flattened its battery and wouldn't engage 1st after being in reverse and sometimes it wouldn't start. it had done 55k miles!

so far the MG which has done 45K miles, has cost me 2 new tyres and a battery for the remote locking blipper! i think its a keeper

I hate 'stupid little sports cars', but I do like the way the MGF looks.
But I'll stick with the AWD 5 seater with sensible hatchback boot space though cheers !.


Its funny, since getting the scoob, no one wants to race me(*), I thought that the MAX POWER boys would not be able to resist. Always thought that the Nova / Corsa boys were a bunch of whimps !

* I did let the bird in the 106 GTI think she was going to win, mainly cos I had no petrol !

Talking of cars, Jains15 what is that car in ur picture? It looks well beefy

In MSTS, mostly passenger. Freight runs are untimed, and most activities seem to have no work order, whereas passenger runs do have a timetable to follow - and MSTS makes it less than easy to keep to that... Express and non-stop runs are tedious unless you're driving steam, but with modern diesels and electrics all it takes is the odd notch change on the throttle to hold speed for tens of miles at a time. Where's the fun in that

On the road, an '02 Pontiac GrandAmSE, or an '03GrandAmGT. 36k on the '02, had five oil changes so far, 6k on the '03, due its second change soon. Never a hint of trouble with either car.... and I used to think Detroit iron was .. I'd still like an Outback wagon, though. AWD'd be very handy in Michigan winters....
