So, I used part of the information given in this thread to design a train that could be the result of the Deep Tube Program that London Underground is to take on. It is also one of my arguments to get a place on the London Underground Engineering Apprenticeship if I get a chance to defend my...

Today I decided to make some shots this afternoon on my local railway station. Hope you like the concept :D vaS9NONy4SE

Hello everyone! I decided to go on asking if there's someone who wants vector avatars of a particular class or stock of rolling stock. The only thing I ask is a photo of the train (the perspective has to be the same of the desired avatar) and some time. I'll be listing here the requests so...

Good Evening everyone! I would like to ask if is there any technical document that regulates the Overall Dimensions of the rolling stock, either Sub-Surface or Deep Level Tube, in a form of a bounding box chart. I also like to now if the DLT dimensions are the same for the...

The night of 21rst of January is not going well on the Portuguese railways. Near Coimbra, in Alfarelos station, an Intercity train collided against a stopped Regional EMU train, at around 9:15PM, resulting in 21 confirmed casualties. The INEM, Proteção Civil and firemen mobilized 41...

Good Afternoon everyone! Does anyone now why are so many people gathering at a specific zebra crossing in London, almost crossing it right in front of cars and buses and time to time taking photos while crossing on it? I heard that in Brazil children and teens try to bullfight cars on the...

Just made myself two videos with Train Simulator 2013 and After Effects. With the two, I made a false sense of motion blur. It's not perfect, but at least it gives you an impression of how smooth the movement looks with this effect, like it does on World of Subways. Railworks Motion Blur 1...

Good Evening! I was planning on making a video guide to show how to travel in my metropolitan area for those who may want to travel to Porto and going around in our transport system. The idea is something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vQvEwcuwW8 -vQvEwcuwW8 I just wanted to ask...

Good Evening everyone and Happy New Year! I'm planning on visiting London this year. I won't be hanging around with a bag-pack or anything heavy. At most I'll have my photo-camera case with me and wearing casual clothes, just like going for a Sunday stroll. The idea is to look less tourist...

Good Afternoon Everyone! I was planning a journey from London Victoria to Canterbury East by train and used the National Rail website to calculate the best connection available. I happened to know that the cheapest fare for this 60 mile journey was £26.80 by southeastern, which is a huge...

I think the title of the topic is enough to understand. :) Here's some examples for you to see. Please be free to comment and post new ones! Hope you like the idea! :D

I was just playing Train Simulator 2012 when the computer froze. I couldn't get to the desktop no matter what. When I thought I would need to reset the computer like I did in Vista and 7, I clicked on the Start button and I got to the Start screen without problem. Although I couldn't get to the...

Good Evening everyone! I was told that four Class 1800 from Portugal were bought by British to be brought back to England. As far as I know, one or two are bond for the National Railway Museum. The CP Class 1800 are a series of 10 locomotives built by English Electric, similar to the Class...

Good Evening Everyone, I want to ask if there is anyone who can explain me the modern British system of Headlights and the meaning of each configuration of lighten headlights. I'm asking this because British rolling stock in some classes have rounded and squared headlights, something...

Good Afternoon everyone! For those who have read my thread relating to the "Mind the Gap Project", you may notice that there is one final character that I still have to do from scratch. Given the fact that Overground and DLR have their own characters in the group, I thought "Trams run on...

Good evening everyone! This is a question that I have since I started contacting with people from different countries and makes me think about it a lot. What really means to be a foreigner? Does the "love for the motherland" makes someone a foreigner or just the "birth country"? Can someone...
