Yes Ken.

I made a point of trying to get some kind of photographic record of the
railway/tram topics.

I'll post a selection of photo's in the gallery and then delete them after a couple of weeks.

Last month I went to Palma; the capital of Majroca for holiday. The narrow gauge Soller Railway really impressed me: so much that I spent 4 days travelling on it. Found a really good Youtube Clip of two years ago; but which shows much of what I experienced on the 1 hour trip from Palma to Soller. Mac.

Hello Giorgio.

Unfortunately: real life must come before toy trainz.

Collecting some period Victorian Music to use in my 1850's set-up. It's extremely hard to find; but adds greatly to the atmosphere. Lifted one military march from a 60's movie. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ivZ8-nWi9zM The Turkish Army doubled as extra's and their rendition sounds closer to what you...

Hope you release this as part of a Demo Route for the V&T.

Re-cut Mark Baldwin's excellent Trainz video of his Gilpin Tramway Colorado train journey.
Added contemporary soundtrack and shortened length of clip to 7.5 minutes.
Uploaded to YouTube and waiting for them to process it.

Tried to contact Mark Baldwin but no reply from him.

Thanks for the compliments; but it's the 'Builder'/Paul Mace who deserves credit for interperating my vague instructions and comeing up with some cracking Loco's. I would certainly recommend him; if you want a special or a favourite piece of Stock, though the bottom line is, the results are only as ...

Hello Admin.

I clicked on the Link for 'JohnGeralds' website and ended up with what looks like a high quality porn site.

Just to let you know.

Image of 3' gauge Loco I designed and had built for me posted in Gallery Section.

I'll use them for Irish Narrow gauge to compliment the huge range of stock that Flander&Sykes do.

Hi Collin. Your convention sounds very interesting: especially if it coincides with the release of the V&T. The trip to Trainz HQ sounds like it could be an eye opener. If you go ahead with the Tutorials you mention; it would be great if there was some way of recording the information in written...

Thanks for encouragement Curtiss & Colin. Re' Shipping: Yes there will be individual vessels(Train Ferry,Dredger,etc) plus I want to try and portray the feeling of seeing a 'Forest of Masts' above a roofline of warehouses. I'm going to have to have another shot at understanding how to use G-Max ...

Leith North 1853. I've just sent off a wad of drawings/photo's to my 'Builder' for an early Victorian dockside station. As most of the buildings on the ordinance map are 'long gone'; I've had to design the railway structures from scratch. Add things like signals, advertising.etc and it's a large job...

Thanks for the information Ben.

Have checked Amazon and will probably buy this book.
I also noticed the same author does...

'Down at the Depot'
Railroad Depots 1831 - 1920

This also sounds as though it may be worth getting.
Does anyone have info' on it?

Once again: thanks for the heads up, Ben.
