    UK Train Sim free account registration not working

    I believe yahoo addresses were also a cause for concern, however btinternet seems to be OK. If you find a load of stuff you'd like to download go for a short-term paid subscription and "fill yer boots" Waiting for downloads on a free subscription can be a long and arduous process. Must check in...

    Scenario competition - August/September 2016 creation

    My planned intention is to use the "South West Branch Line" from http://www.dpsimulation.org.uk/ In deference to Darren Porters request my link will take you to the home page, the route can be found under the route tab. Although based on the Barnstaple to Exeter route this is a fictional version...

    Hopefully we'll see you in the next round. @Iskra Thank You for your comments. I have to confess I was a little concerned at the length of time to play but decided to run with what I had.

    Local and P&CC elections

    P&CC. Another bureaucrat interfering with the local police, undoubtedly on a fairly large salary. Surely the Chief Constable should be capable of overseeing their own Police force without some commissioner interfering. I was very concerned that all the candidates had affiliations with political...

    Comedy Sketch Shows: Good and Bad ones...

    Monty Python was by far the best, the first series of Little Britain. I couldn't get Harry Enfield, looking back it was a good prediction of the future. @BlythePower - Hiroshima Mon Amour?

    The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, since radio broadcast it has been novelised, made into a TV show, stage play, computer game and Hollywood movie.

    Best British Sitcoms

    Dads Army was a childhood favourite, early Last of the Summer Wine, (There are those who say I get my sartorial inspiration from Compo). The later series just over played what became a tired joke. Fawlty Towers, I think it was John Cleese who said no more after the second series, a wise move in...

    Depots: LG & LO / CE & CD

    It could be to save confusion with rolling stock allocations, a belt and braces solution to prevent some bright spark from sending an electric loco along a diesel only line? Someone more erudite than me may have a more accurate answer.

    Animals on seats

    My wife is one of the unfortunates to have a dog allergy, so sitting on a seat previously occupied by a dog would be a real spoiler for a day out for us. So towel or no it should be no dogs on seats. Feet on seats is also a no go, who knows what the perpetrators have been hiking through? If you...

    Scenario competition - August/September 2016 creation

    Hopefully a long haul what if? will be ok. At present it's 3 hours and forty minutes over the Western Lines of Scotland. Test and polish could take a while... ....So the initial test has gone well, some more polish to add. No cut in the duration although the scenario does have 27 station...

    few photos from the pines express 66 and 73s

    Must have been some diversion it took, running via Bath Green Park is not an option these days. What route did this one use and what route would the original "Pines" have taken?

    How can the cost of domestic recycling be justified?

    It would seem that the economic and environmental cases add up. But : Where my parents live, formerly the Northavon district of the county of Avon, now South Gloucestershire. The old system, once week the refuse truck would come to the village, all the bins would be emptied, including...

    help with train sim free roams

    Sounds like you could use a decent tutorial, there are several out there. My personal favourite came from Marleyman. http://www.railworks.marleyman.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=51 Although the description says it's for TS2013, the information is still good...

    Found in Grandads shed, can anyone help identify these railway parts?

    Notice that the rail sections are all flat bottom, with no bullhead bits. Thanks to John Webb for clearing a mystery for me. I was never sure if was "Bullhead" or "Bullied". In my neck of the woods "H"s get dropped for a pastime, hence the confusion on my part. If it had been "Bullied" I was...

    Does anyone still play this?

    I have heard of a few that still play MSTS, but most have now moved on to TS2015/6. I'm not even sure if I could get MSTS to run on my current laptop. There are also several commercial add-ons still on the market for it but I'm not aware of anything in development.
