Ultimately you have a problem in that this is probably one of the last major Rail Networks in Central Europe that has NOT been fully electrified. Its not just embarressing, its near inexplicable when you consider plans were put forward at the same time Beeching was putting down his axe to...

I dont know, unlike most of the preservation lines around its got potential through route. You couldnt have a high frequency of services admittedly, but then it probably wouldnt require them. I certainly wouldnt advocate stopping anywhere but Cheltenham high street. It would perhaps be easier...

Cheltenham to Evesham. Fancied visiting there the other week so I looked up the time table for direct trains. Turns out the quickest is 2 hours 34 minutes by way of Reading. They are less than 20 miles apart for heavens sake.:roll: I can only hope the thought will occur to them in future when...

After its downloaded, you use put the file on the desktop out of the RAR folder, then install it using the asset editor. The instruction usually tell you who the developer is, so you click the little arrow on the left in the scenario edtior and tick that asset creators box. The locomotive...

They both use Spoon sound and cabs, and you are quite right the Rat has an optional addon sound pack somewhere. The original site that hosted it is down now so I dont know where you would get it. I used it a while back and it was Hellfire. Re the Hymek, there IS a new version out now with new...

http://www.uktrainsim.com/ Mainly steam locomotives admittedly, though there are a couple of diesels for RS, not least a Hymek.

It didnt REALLY suit the Class 50 though, did it? I always thought it made them look smaller. Like the site you link to though. It does oddly suit the Brighton Belle, and look great on the Javelin.:)

Yeah, that would be great. It would be great to see the two Edwards double heading as well, though preferably when they KEII gets repainted.:) Yes, I would vote for APT as well, the only problem you have is that even when it was new, it wasnt always behaving itself..... Im also uncertain...

The return of the 'Club Coach' perchance?:D

Lode Star and Evening Star. Double Heading.:D About time King George V had another outing too. Duchess of Hamilton? But only if they paint red and gold line all the BRmk1s that it hauls behind it.:wink:

I can see why the makers of Tornado went to Germany, at the time they were taking enough risks as it was. Going to someone who still made compareable boilers looked pretty sensible. OTOH, I think what PW has to say (hes is not very clear admittedly) is that if we want this kind of capablity...

Hmm, I thought they owned up to the now demolished Bridge, though thinking on there appears to be a cycle track there now. Hopefully they can find a way round that. Avon Valley railway found a way to coexist with cyclists after all. Its too much to hope they will ever get connected up to the...

I wonder if reconnecting the Honeybourne line would make that more viable? Admittedly they will find a job to put a station in, but the old site of Cheltenham high street halt is still viable if you approach from the Toddington side. I always thought it was a shame Churchdown was demolished...

I did hear tell that for years afterwards a woman in black was seen near their grave. No proof that its a relative of course, but legend has it the ghost of that woman is still seen. About the most ive found out online was a local paranormal research group (not necessarily the most reliable...

Does anyone have any knowledge of any ghosts at Charfield station? Ive heard a few references to them online, but not much detail.

Perfect for me! Unfortunately Ive an intimate knowledge of Hornby and other OO gauge rolling stock, does this mean im excluded? :wink:

Much as Id like to see steam trains operate out of Green Park, I think the chance for doing it has long gone. Looking at Google maps its clear the only way you could do it is as a tramway. The best candidate for trying is the Avon Valley Railway, and they seem to have the plan to build a new...

In fairness, its not like Railtrack was any better. So whats next, split it up and sell it off with the TOC franchises? I cant imagine the TOCs would go for it unless they get a 25year franchise to go with it.

We can always start building Castles again.:D I thought less than 2 weeks ago they were giving assurances GWML electrification and HS2 were a go. Nothing like making your mind up is there.:roll:

I believe it was the railway magazine that recentl touched on this point. The good old days of 140mph overspeeding are long gone sadly.
