I'm waiting eagerly for this.

Perhaps a trusted uploader could do the honours.

When I suggested this the other week there were no takers.....in fact everyone got right on their high horses.....as per usual.

So, if you know it's a touchy subject and likely to cause flaming, why bring it up again?

I am a trusted uploader. If you think that you have a file that is so vital to the community that nobody can wait until the weekend; feel free to send it to me. I'll judge for myself, test it and take time from my life to upload it for you.

I reserve the right to bill you for my time and effort, at my standard rate of $175 per hour or part thereof.

Cheers

I didn't.........Ian MacMillan did.........as my post clearly states.... before you selectively edited the quote.

I didn't quote Ian Macmillan, I quoted you, being quoted by Ian Macmillan - no selective editing about it. Plus, Ian suggested it might be a good thing - then you went off about high horses and put in a link to the previous flamer.

And now.................. back to the original topic.

Very glad to see an activity pack for this very nice new route. A good chance to explore the route in a structured way. Haven't had time to run all of the activities through but a good variety and they all look interesting.

Now, my pet peeve. The steam AI locos are all the standard ones and not the AI (#) ones. I cringe (I won't say "hate" because that's too strong) when I see a traffic consist go by with the loco's wheels going way too fast. Usually I make the changes for myself (making AI consists and AI services and then replacing them in the activity) but there's lots of traffic (which is very good) and it's a big job, so I'll try to ignore the wheels when an AI loco goes past.

Agreed. The problem is that unless AI versions are provided on the route CD (always a good idea), it's not practical to use them in an uploaded activity.

I tell you what then, next time I'll just not bother, then you'll have nowt to cringe at will you

Jim,

You asked for comments and you got them - positive and negative. No need to take offense.

Regards,
