Lyme Regis Branch - Adams Tank

emrhd01 · Post by **emrhd01** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:54 am

I was just running one of my Lyme Regis activities and thought it's ages since I'd seen any screenies of this fantastic Branch Line, so here goes:-

As can be seen the activity starts at Axminster on a busy Saturday, where an Adams tank picks up 2 Holiday special coaches in the Down platform left by the Schools class (seen leaving in picture 1 taking holidaymakers South from the Midlands hence the coach liveries) and then takes the coaches along the Branch through its wonderful scenery to Lyme Regis.

Very nice

What did you use to take the screenshots?

Hi CKY1986 and welcome to the Forum,

Just the usual way, PrtSc SysRq button whilst in the activity, exit to windows after taking a shot and Edit/Paste in Paint, then savie as .jpg to a folder I have named Screenshot.

You can just keep pressing PrtSc SysRq button through the activity and look at the shots that are saved as pcx files in the activities Route folder after the game, but I like to know I have the shot I wanted before continuing the activity.

Hope that helps you and do have a go, it may not be the best way to do it but it works for me.

Guys, just incase you want to know, you dont have to keep opening paint and exiting.

You can just take all ur screenies by pressing print screen. Then, in the train simulator folder you will find lots of .pcx files, which are screenshots. You will need something like irfan view to open them.

Cheers

Ali

I did say that in my post, but thanks for reiterating Ali and I guess by the picture that the answer to my viaduct question was yes.

aye m8, it is.
imposing structure, shame about the jack-arch in a way, but then i suppose thats what gives it character.
