The Award Winning follow up to the TDRS Special, "Brian & The Bank Loan", is here!
In this short, Brian is convinced by Dave to go and rob the bank, since they refused him his loan!

This hopefully will whet your appetites before Series 2 of TDRS arrives!
Cheers,

ATTENTION!
Series Two of "The Dark Railway Series" has oficially begun!
I am very pleased with how this episode has come out, especially after my teething troubles with the new simulator. Never the less, it's here and completed, to the best standard I can currently do on my computer!
And here it is, Episode 11 (continueing the continuity of the series), "Dave's Reward"!

Thanks ever so much, to all my supporters out there! I hope someone will enjoy my work!
Cheers,
Dark.

A question to any fans out there, or peoples who know more about sorting out a web series...
So, in my mind, I wanted to make each individual season with ten episodes and consistant numbering.
This means that, for series 2 of TDRS, the first episode is Episode 11. and the first episode of S3 would be ep 21.
However, i am told that each new series, in the real world, begins at number one again.
Now, I have already uploaded episode 11 and have streamed ep 12 ready for uploading.
Should I?...
Continue using my format of consistant numbering per episode? so that the numbers go up and up throughout the whole saga?
Continue at the moment for S2 with consistant numbering, then change the format of titling/numbering for series 3?
Completely change the episodes and titles to, for example: "TDRS - Series Two, Episode One" etc etc etc...
This would unfortunately mean me taking down episode 11 first and reuploading with a different title screen etc....but im willing to do this, if it makes the series more consistent.
Any advice is welcome, and does the above make sence?>
Dark.

I'd stick with what you originally intended, you don't have to adapt to others' views if it's not convenient/worth it.
Nothing more annoying than completely re-uploading an episode just to change it in the smallest way imaginable.

To me it matters

so I have temporarily taken down episode 11 to change it to episode one of series two!
I dont mind doing it, ive changed the annoying bit at the beginning where i read the title to just read the title, nothing more.
It would bug me, knowing that other series' use a different numbering system to me. Plus, I have decided that Series 2 will only have 8 episodes this time!
Will post the reuploaded video tonight.

Some good news and bad news.
The bad news is, ive returned to none-TSX ts2012 (Legacy mode) for filming, so the series will loose its cool new look for a bit...
The good news is that without TSX on, the stuttering that is plaguing my videos goes almost completely away!
So, from Episode 3 of Series 2 onwards, I return to the old game engine.
But at least the filming and sounds work allright with FRAPS now!
Hope people arent too dissapointed by me going a bit backwards? At least till ive got a new rig!

Fair enough. I admire you for trying lol
I'm not going to even start the Challenge until I get an upgraded system, which may delay us for a couple of days.
From your experiences I take it you won't mind waiting?

Ah, nice to encounter old hands in new series, namely Dai the 7F in TDRS2. I hope Rhys enjoys being a part of it all.
Nice 2012 effect as well Dark.

Aha! Problem solved
At least you're attempting to remember old characters rather than always introducing new ones such as the situation with Thomas.
