Thats bad news Ben, at least you have Saturday to look forward toNvincer wrote:Again, I have some bad news to bring.
Last night my laptop's hard drive decided to pack up (corrupting itself) and therefore taking its place with the 'faries' as the saying goes. Therefore I have lost all of the work done recently around Hythe and as far back as my last backup. I also have probably lost the armoured train and the wagon I was working on for it, although there is a chance I may have it stored on my external HD or on a CD somewhere, I haven't had chance to look through what I have got.
So, approximately one hour after recieving an offer to finish the scenery we take a huge jump backwards.
I will try and see what I have left over the next few days, and then see where to go from there.
Again, I apologise for the further delay this is causing.

It dosn't matter if it takes a little longer to get the route done. The important thing is that it will be worth waiting for

That is one major set back, hope you find the armoured train, it was looking brilliant.Nvincer wrote:Again, I have some bad news to bring.

Re: Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch MSTS Route Announcement
Right, after a couple of hours emergency work on my laptop this evening, my parents have miraculously managed to save my hard drives data, therefore I have backed it all up and I have the latest copies of everything. So nothing has been lost and all is safe.
Lucky or what

The lamps look great, looking forward to seeing them in use on a night run,
BTW how bright are they, ie will you still need the headlight as well? Would look great if you dont need it with them.
