After having several graphical problems with my Nvidia drivers I now have MSTS working properly.

In around 10 days I will have my quidity card so I will be able to pay for packs and downloads off the internet (i.e East Coast etc) but is there any freeware out there to keep me going for now. A Google search doesn't offer much and I have already played all of the original activites from when I had MSTS on my old computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Just been on there and signed up. How long do you have to wait in the queue for? Obvously paying customers come first but I was just wondering?

It all depends on how many people are in the queue, and what they're downloading. There's been times I've queued for an hour, and others where I've logged in and downloaded straight away.

Paying customers are exempt from the queue, I think.

All of the people in the queue are non-premium. Non-premium members have a 2kb/sec (i think) limit on download speed. I think it tells you how many people you are waiting behind, and also how much will be downloaded before you get your turn. Just divide the amount to be downloaded by two, and that is how long you will have to wait (in seconds). I hope that makes sense.

Basically, if you seriously want to download routes, become a premium user.

DTD is, I must say, a very good site with great models.

However, I have been waiting for quite some time now for the GBRF 66723 - 66727 loco's to be released.

Anyone know of a release date:?:

Thanks,

Cheers guys, some good things to go at there until my card comes.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
There is one route that I have downloaded so far that I particularly like. "tunnel" from Ashford to Lille. So far I have downloaded the Eurostar and replaced the Acela on some activities and I am off to get a couple of TGV's for the French routes and then hopefully get some other stuff for the England side. It does look rather strange with a mix of Japanese and American traction.
