Anyone want to request an activity?

[Beetlejuice]

Hey,
I'm on a mission to make an activity and upload it on to the website within this weekend. But I can't make up my mind on what to do. I've got all the default routes and The Yorkshire Coast Route, The Burton area route and the thaxted branch, but i have not acctualy been on some of the default routes!
I've already started a pack of activities for thomas the tank engine on the settle and carlise line but that is not complete and not very good though i may just put them up to guage people's reaction's! I'm more prepared though to take orders! I'm free this weekend and for most of August. Any suggestions?

Thanks ,
Ross

[bobbyhtrain]

useing the new 150 and plenty of AI traffic (moden) sorry if it is to much to ask but i have been trying to get to grips with AE but cant quite do it just yet

[Beetlejuice]

I am realy sorry to disappoint you but as i do not have the required stock for this i am only able to make activities along the Yorkshire Coast, Txated branch, Derby route, and the default routes and would also need permission to clear stock. Please though as i am free for the next 7 weeks nearly all the time feel free to PM or reply to this as I can't descide what to make and am incedibly bored!


Many thanks and please give me an idea

If the stock is downloadable from here then you dont require the authors permission to use it in an activity. You just say in the readme and file download page that the activity requires xxx stock and the ukts ref number.

You only need to get the authors permission if you use stock not freely available and you actually supply the stock with your upload. In that case you MUST get the authors permission first before you include the stock with your activity files.

Many thanks and please give me an idea

Why not download and install the excellent TM V4 ( or buy the CD from here and get loads of stock too - you can get it inside a week usually ) and do some activities for that. The scope there is huge and 7 weeks wont be nearly enough time to do a couple of really good ones.

With respect to the Burton Derby route the CD will be out shortly and there are changes from the downloadable version so there is a chance that activities written now will not run on the CD version.

[kreader]

Bobbyhtrain. What do you mean by the new class 150. Do you mean a unit in Northern livery? I may be willing to produce the activity you refer to but it would only use the stock from the CD.

[Beetlejuice]

hi again but still the answer is no to buying/downloading TMv4 due to space reasons.
Still available though to anything from the above which i am about to start doing anyway!

How about Charing cross/London Bridge to Caterham Stopping all stations, and back for LSE
With the old NSE units(Cant think of the class at the moment) Maybe someone else knows.

Would be a good activity

[Beetlejuice]

hey i've now got 1 activity for settle and carlise 3/4 complete and one for Yorkshire coast 1/2 complete both using Yorkshire coasts cd stock and a few oddities. will probably upload later this week but would like some people to test them first. Also am i forgetting to ask permission or do i not need it for these pieces of rolling stock.

If all you are doing is telling people what stock to use for the activity then you dont need to get the authors permission. If, however, you intended to supply the stock with the activity then you MUST get the authors permission first.
