    Microsoft train simulator

    I don't want to start a war but, I have found that the add on for RS and RW, are too expensive, one of the latest train packs was £14:99, which I find far too much. Basicly if you want a better driving experience for for Railworks or the older Rail Simulator, but if you don't want to spend so...

    West London Line power switch

    I was wondering if anyone could help me, when I was on a 378 at North Pole Junction where it raised its Pantograph a little while ago, the doors released when the pan went up, the driver clearly did not know, because you could hear him trying to apply power, but the brakes were still on, because...

    Show Your Model Railway

    These are of West Brooke Town Station, All I have used for the platforms are some left over wood, and some old cereal packets. The fencing is some Hornby fence which I found lying around. I think Network Rail could learn a thing or two. :lol:

    Why does everybody hate XC?

    I have only used XC on the odd Newport- Lydney service in the evenings, and I was lucky enough not to have to go on a voyager, it was a 170, which was really nice and comfortable. It was sooooo much better than a ATW class 150 that smells of pee and is not comfortable, which I would usually have...

    opening windows on trains

    The 378's are one of the most annoying 'modern' trains. About 70% of the trips I make on them are done without A/C, (in the last 3 weeks). The A/C is barely ever working, and the guard never opens the windows if it not working, it is almost worse than the underground at 'peak' time.

    Opening the hopper ventilators on Class 158s

    On London Overground all the windows are locked on the new 378's, and the air con was not working today (as usual), and it was worse than an oven in the train, but nobody unlocked them.

    7 x Class 460 up for grabs???

    wouldn't loads of platforms need to be extended if they were 10 carriages long, for example Twickenham, that can only just about fit an 8-coach Juniper as it is now.

    Staff: the best & worst

    I have had varied experiences. London Overground Staff in general are very good, the staff at West Hampstead, are superb, and at Kensington Olympia. Staff at Clapham Junction are another matter. When I had my tri-pod out, and a few other people had as well, to film Sir Lamiel going through, and...

    Dean Forest Railway Gala 26-27th June

    I will be there come hell or high water. As long as you know the right places, it is quite good for photography, if you need any help when you are there, just ask, as I am local to the area. Not sure about line side passes, but I think they do, if you ask. Once again, I will be very happy to...
