    Farewell Silverlink, MML, GNER and VXC

    Don't forget on the 13th it's also farewell to non high-speed eurostar workings, and farewell to UK's most powerful ever 3rd rail locomotive(3rd rail capability will be removed after the HS1 switchover). :(:(

    Most Interesting Station in Southeast Wales Area

    Looks like I'm going to have a free Sunday on the West side of the Severn Estuary pretty soon. Since I don't have much idea of the Train services in that location, which station would be most interesting to go to, variety of Rolling-stock wise? Thanks for your help.

    New Video Site

    Ok, 2 different sagas here! I will correct the 142 asap. That particular clip is quite short becuase another train came in front of it! The 317 was taken in portrait rather than landscape. I rotated it so it was the right way up using VirtualDub, but Windows Movie Maker which I use for titling...

    New Video Site

    Hi Folks, I've just launched a new Rail Video site http://www.railvideos.co.nr/ which Jordy has kindly put in the sticky above. Basically I'm trying to collect a video of each class of train on the UK network, so if people wonder 'what does xxx sound/look like?' they can find out. I've also put...

    Where is this station sign?

    [EDIT] On what part of the railway network would you find this sign?(Just 'Charing Cross' obviously isn't good enough!)

    BVE no longer stands for 'Boso View Express' - it now stands for 'BVE Trainsim'. This seems to be because mackoy realised no one knew what 'Boso View Express' actually meant... :D Reproduced below is a transalation of the announcement

    Boosting train performance

    Hi, I'm trying to boost the performance of my Class 87 loco, as some of you may have noticed it hasn't got a hope of reaching 110 mph. I've tried changing the acceleration values and Cuttoff speeds in the Train.dat file editor so there is a reasonably flat curve for the top notch right up to...
