Well, back on the other side of the planet, Vancouver, Canada is hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics and I plan to be there! Oh, and if they send any broadcast feeds to the UK, look for me in the stadium during the opening ceremony -- I should be the one flailing and calling the torch lighting...
I've got more info -- the perpetrator makes a court appearance, and keeps silent, save for an unusual, yet deserving quip (see link below for news):

Scary, yet fitting...
Now that I think of it, there may be some very old BVE versions of these trainsets still up on the old BenoBVE site right below:

BE ADVISED: ONLY ONE OF THE TRAINS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MAY STILL BE UP THERE!!
It's also got a couple of sparsely-detailed, yet...
If only Canada hadn't outlawed the death penalty...I live hundreds (or even thousands) of miles from the crime scene, so I haven't been very much affected by this. It's quite sad -- especially seeing as it was a fully random incident, with no provocation on the part of the victim. It truly is...
Whoa! Making BVE "pay-to-play" is obviously not a good idea, says this observer! For one thing, MSTS (*rinses mouth out with soap*) is rather expensive where I am, and it seems that I'd be paying a lot of money for something that will never show routes perhaps as realistic as BVE, in my opinion...
Gave my shiny new 59 a run on NWM as well as Harcroft -- great two-tone horn, but it's too bad some of the sounds are pulled from the 66. However, looking past that, this is still a great loco with some very realistic, slow handling. ;)
What with that flamboyant green PA handset, rock star microphone on the console, and that dominating computer screen, the '09 stock really looks like something...else. In other words: I can't wait! :) If nobody decides to make a BVE4 version, I guess I'll have to make it myself -- my first BVE...
First of all, I have BVE4, not 2, although BVE2 trains seem to work perfectly in BVE4. Secondly, I had no idea anyone was even making those trains for any BVE version, but if they are, I strongly encourage it! ;)
Well, let's see, now...
1.) Suffolk, namely Ipswich area
2.) Class 92
3.) Mk. 3s
4.) GE
5.) Electric
6.) EMU
7.) Northampton & Lamport Railway
8.) GWR 4900 class
:D I've been a good boy this year, so for Christmas (or preferably sooner), I want:
- a class 90, or 91 electric (whichever gets done fastest)
- an APT class 370 electric (with "incredible tilting action" just like in the advertisements!)
- a class 87 electric (for BVE4)
- a class 33 diesel
-...
