I see from their website that Railworks will be launching Railworks 3 in September. It also seems to be known as Train Simulator 2012. But what's not clear in their announcement is whether users of Railworks 2 will automatically update, free of charge, like RW 1 did to RW 2, or whether we'll...

I know that The Great Western Railway ceased running broad-gauge trains in 1892, but what I'm wondering is how long the broad-gauge type top-hat section rails continued in use on their tracks after conversion. Throughout the GWR network, the gauge conversion was usually either a matter of...

I'm just wondering if it's commonplace for people to volunteer at more than one railway.

Over the years there have been various experimental locomotives of which photos remain. Because of their technical features, some of these will have made very strange sounds that we can probably only guess at. For instance, the Kitson-Still steam / diesel hybrid loco, which used steam in the...

Railworks has now released the Class 31 Brush loco and it looks great in the photos. I have one question though - it says nothing in the blurb about the pack including the '31' in original BR green livery. Does anyone know if it's included or not, as that's the one I want?

There's a lot on the internet about the largest town with no station, or no rail connection, but most of these were on the network at one time but the railway closed. What is more difficult to find is the largest town in mainland Britain that was never connected to the rail network...

I've been building a route - single-track at the moment apart from a junction at one end where it will join a future double-track route and a run-round loop at the terminus at the other end. I've set up signals at the junction end and at the station at the end of the branch to 'protect' the...

With all their lumps and bumps - how about 'Warthog' ? Or has that name been taken for another class?

I know that engineers have always been in the habit of leaving lengths of rail beside the track during work and that sometimes it got left for a while. But these days everywhere there seems to be lengths of rail beside the track - either old rail or what looks like new replacement rail. Even...
