Following storms at the SVR, only Kidderminster to Bewdley shuttles are able to run.
813 is in charge of the shuttles.

I'm still having problems, for some reason. It's a shame, as your shots are often the best around.

Can you see them if you go to my photobucket site?

Yes I can - how weird?

Wouldn't it of been better if a DMU service was run if it was just a Bewdley-Kidderminster shuttle service?

Taken from the SVR website.

The SVR is a full-size standard-gauge railway line running regular steam-hauled passenger trains

No need to stop steam just because the line has been temporarily shortened

That statement doesn't mean they don't run diesels though...

And the steam locos they will be running for the time being are 4566, 45110 & 46443.

Nice shots

I know that, they may run diesels... but I don't!

Well MSTS is only virtual after all

Nice pics - and full marks for originality, it's nice to have a story or a proper reason behind screenshots.

Hi
I too have been having problms viewing the Atomic Album........but not screenshots hosted elsewhere.
I've had router problems......caused by storm damage( I think).....and I've now had to go Wireless on my desktop.
Unfortunately this cuts out everytime I view a screenshot thread, with something called 'SYN Flood' ?

06/21/2007 10:06:25 **SYN Flood to Host** 192.168.2.3, 2721->> 209.85.59.35, 80 (from ATM1 Outbound)

06/21/2007 07:25:42 **SYN Flood to Host** 192.168.2.3, 1031->> 209.85.59.35, 80 (from ATM1 Outbound)

06/20/2007 16:30:58 **SYN Flood to Host** 192.168.2.3, 2899->> 209.85.59.35, 80 (from ATM1 Outbound)

Cuts the whole of UKtrainsim IP out for about 5 mins.
Luckily my wifes laptop is fine,so I now view screenshots on there instead

Excellent screenshots.

Cheers
Jon

SYN Flood can mean MALWARE on your machine Jon.

Here's the simple definition of SYN Flood

SYN-flood is a simple attack method on computers on the Internet. The technique makes the hosting server so busy that it can´t provide service to the legitimate users.

Unfortunately SYN-flood is both difficult to detect and avoid. It is based on the fundamental technique for transfer of data on the internet, the TCP-protocol. The attack exploits the way TCP-connections are established between two computers on the internet.

- When a user connects to a host computer (server) the user´s computer sends a request containing a packet with a setting, a so called SYN-flag.

- The server receives the request and returns a response, the response is called a SYN/ACK packet.

The user´s computer receives the SYN/ACK and sends a packet, a ACK that establishes the connection.

The transaction takes approximately 1 minute and the host computer waits for the ACK to be returned from the users computer. The attacker utilizes this time slot for the attack.

The attacker creates a program that generates a huge number of SYN requests, which makes the server respond with SYN/ACK and then waits without returning the expected ACK-packet which would establish the connection between the server and user. Most servers has a limited number of simultaneous connections so it is rather easy to lock a server using this technique.

The attackers make the request look valid but unreachable by using non-existing IP-addresses and this makes the attack difficult to trace. Software for creating such attacks is easily available on the net.

As everything appears to be OK on your wifes laptop, can I suggest you check your desktop.

Hi
Thanks Pete........I'll check it out.
Standard Anti-Virus is up to-date on the Desktop.
Would it only effect the one internet IP address though?
Watching the connection no information is moving during the 'block', unless thats the router stopping the attack?
Luckily for me the main forums, and file library are uneffected.

Cheers
Jon

Anti Virus may not always pick up Malware. You might want to google for SYN FLOOD and check out the some of the cures.

My understanding is that SYN FLOOD is targetted, so yes it can be just ONE IP address.

The problem with this sort of Malware, it can be attached to web pages, emails etc, so you have no idea from whence it came.
