So what if Kevin wants to build the Ffestiniog or any other narrow gauge route in RS?
If you can't say anything positive about such a good development in such a short time for a new simulator then just go away will you?
I for one am glad people are developing for RS - it doesn't make it any easier when people keep posting how MSTS 2 will be better then it, which may well not be the case at all in the end.

Chill out a little, Paul.
I detect a bit of friendly banter between Bazza and Kevin. They're as bad as each other sometimes.
If anyone should be waging an anti-RS campaign, it should be me.....I cannot build the NET in RS due to not being able to get tight enough curves! But I'm not doing so!!!

Thanks Paul

,
Don't worry, I'm not easily swayed from doing the things that interest me.
Cheers,
Kevin

Have to disagree, Doug.
Kev's the least contentious modeller I know and among the least contentious members. He only posts when he's actually done something and never even sounds like he has a campaign for anything yet alone against.
There's a world of difference and I know you know it and attempting to maintain the peace as good mods do

Just to be really pedantic, no it won't! It's all set to change (sadly) over the next two years

Unfortunatley, I can only agree with what you say, William

Firstly hello im back. Got the degree finished earlier this year so now have some more time to devote to train simming. Also got a nice shiny new copy of KRS this morning, and have spent most of the day playing it.
I know NG isnt supported with KRS at the moment but I thought id announce my plans. Once proper NG support is out and bespoke models can be made im planning on making the Talyllyn as it was in the 1950's. Its been on the cards for some time but obviously I wanted to wait till the new sim a. so it wasnt outdated as soon as it was created and b. so as to not tread on Spontin's toes.
Happy Christmas
Chris
p.s. Couldnt find a proper KRS NG forum.... assume everything goes in here?
Congratulations Chris........well done.
Talyllyn in the 1950's should be fun!!
As for Toe-Treading, no problem there

but I do have plans to re-build the TR in KRS once the NG problems have been fixed. I glad that Kevin has already spent time with the track issues which are beyond me so I'll be building on where he leads (as usual

)
I already have the terrain in and it looks pretty good given the low res DEM. But I can see a long ramp up on skills needed and no cheat book like I used in MSTS (Micheal Vone's Route Builder book)
Thankfully people like Kevin will be around to give lots of advice on the model making and some guys already know lots about the route building.
Happy New Year to all the NG guys out there!!

Been playing around with couplers today and managed to make a set of working NG Chopper couplers.
Britomart gently rolls up to her train with raised chopper............
As the buffers touch the choppers falls and couples the train together..........
It really does look quite effective.
Cheers,
Kevin

We'll soon convert you over to the dark side
Have to say that NG looks very good in Railsim. I'm finding it hard to go back to Msts or Trainz, after seeing some of my stuff converted over to the new sim

Kevin

Thanks Jon
Here's another piccie showing multiple gauge track:-
The Corris is on 2ft 3inch gauge track and Britomart is running on 2ft gauge track.

hmm... I think it might be time to have a go at this. The trouble is that whatever I do, it won't look as good as Kevin's
