'EuropeanBahn's Commuter Pack (South), Commuter Pack (South

Post by clrichey »

Hi! Can I please ask whether anyone knows why EuropeanBahn's Commuter Pack (South), Commuter Pack (South) bonus pack, Brighton Belle, Hupac Rail Pack, Leeds Loop bonus pack, Hertford Loop bonus pack, and London South Coast Bonus pack were only available for sale on the EuropeanBahn website and not so they could still be on sale and bought when they will ever be available else again? Because I wish I had those products and I did not get a chance to get them. Thank you so much.

Hi Connor, you have questioned about these items in all your previous posts and were made aware of the situation every time, so that you can wish
all you like, they will never appear for sale anywhere else and you must accept that they are gone for ever.
I bought several items whilst the site was still open after the death of Ken Austin and there were loads more I now wish I bought then, but life goes
on and they have joined the list of items that are now no longer available either by the author withdrawing his downloads or in this case nobody else
in the family with his skill or drive to keep it going.

You could always try eBay....I sold my unwanted routes on there.

Hi Dee4141, yes the Routes are available from various place but all the extra's that Connor was asking about were sent to you via your e-mail address
with an invoice along with an attached .zip file and not on a actual CD.
I ordered the eb_FP2011 and got sent the file which on opening I got the Key Code, the .exe file and the Manual, so without the Key Code you could
not install the items into MSTS.

I do not understand the answer to why those products were chosen to stay only on the website on the 'EuropeanBahn site set to close' forum. But can anyone please tell me how j3801 was involved in as a model builder, a texture creator and an Eng file developer and how he or she finished the project on the 67 class pack, a Royal Mail pack and a class 57/6 pack from EuropeanBahn? Also, can anyone please tell me why he and MakingTracks Online both did not take over EuropeanBahn even if they create similar developments?

I am going to explain this 1 final time then lock the thread for good. If you open another new thread then the full force of the forum rules will be used. You have been asking the same questions over a period of several years and the answer remains the same as it was the first time it was given.

That was a commercial decision based on the business model of EuropeanBahn.

Justin (J3801) was the model builder and it clearly says in the locked thread that the models were returned to him since they had never been released as a product. Many 3rd party providers use outside developers to build or contribute to their products.

After the untimely death of Ken Austin (who had I met a number of times at shows) his family chose not to continue with the business since they had neither the time, skills or interest in it. Making Tracks really have nothing to do with it.
