I have had some health issues after years on Trainz and then while at a McDonald's for a coffee and read my paper two of the older staff spoke to me as I was being a bit unbalanced and they insisted as I am a regular there was something not right after 2 days of being unwell. Had felt a bit odd...

I built the whole of the long sadly gone Glasgow tramway system closed in 1962 Well into over 100 miles and every route once in existence. It had 1,100 trams and a great Trainz fan who sady passed away (lived down in England) built the Standard, Kilmarnock Bogie, Single-decker, Coronation and...

Have been associated with Trainz for a while and as I had visited Ulster on family connection holidays then some of my home - plus youth organisation camps I ran decided to have a bash at Northern Ireland Rlys. Over there was the worst of the 4 places in Gt Britain to have savage cuts losing two...

Quite a surprise in that it is the one part of the UK where re-openings have came about in wide way. In modern times the following re-introduced..... Glasgow - Edinburgh via Airdrie. Larkhall line. Borders line (great just over 30 miles! Alloa line. Glasgow Maryhill suburban route. Now work...

It is 00.48am on 17th March on the Net here in the UK and I went through the offer sent regarding getting TRS19 for a great discount but when I tried to go through that it would only let me have it for the full $69. The 17th was the last day of the offer so why am I refused the offer. Niggled...

Noticed a news item saying that the Dutch rail people that had been told they were losing the franchise by the Scottish Government has a £10,000,000 loss.

In getting back to my long delayed present railway build across the Irish Sea I am only passingly niggled by putting in individual street lights near a station. Although a long Trainzer am I correct in that you cannot get a set of street lights all connected rather than sticking in individual...

Years ago when plodding through my first route building attempt I managed as some will know to do the whole of the former Glasgow tramway system's 140 miles, every route and over 10 depots. Did discover apart from a kind member making all the Glasgow trams that there was a single-decker produced...

There are now more than one passenger roue between Glasgow and Edinburgh. -The long known Glasgow (Queen Street High Level) to Edinburgh. -Glasgow (Low level to Edinburgh via Airdrie. -Glasgow Central to Edinburgh via Shotts. These are separate lines and I reckon must be outstanding between...

In the last decade or so there have been re-openings of passenger rail routes.Not in any particular order I include.... Glasgow-Edinburgh via Airdrie. Larkhall line. Maryhill suburban-Glasgow. Borders Line (over 30 miles!). Alloa line. .. Now the Leven branch to be brought back for passengers...

I know this is a topical item but am going to be frank. From the start of this thing I had doubts and sure as fate we now are told that the costs have sky rocketed and could go even higher than the terrible latest estimates. Frankly the government having the possibility of second thoughts is...

Have tried several times to get through to him at this.... [Email address removed] but nothing happening

Interesting to see the US date commemoration. Here in Gt Britain we have a very special day with markings all over the country at war memorials along with parades. This year was special as we had marked the 100th year to the day last Sundayre the Armistice on 11 November 1918 with the extra...

Have been with Trainz for a decade and enjoyed it and has always been a help when my regular ill-health plays up. But due to getting a formal instruction of 50 points against me re a recent now closed off submission by me I am a bit disgusted. Put up with a separate small string of messages on...

Hadn't looked on messages on my website re my NIRailway project for a while but got a shock toight when discovered this...... "JimmyArmstrongTrainz 2018.5.10 14:33 You should upgrade to T:ANE cuz a lot of objects are old. Anyway your map sucks you deep**** filthy goatf***** and I'm on Trainz...

Firstly when I came across Trainz by sheer chance years ago now (!) I found that I could build on that a lot easier than on an alternative so I mused on doing a bit of the former Glasgow tramway system. The city had the largest one outside of London and it was some tramway (I was chuffed as a...

Picked up a passing news item on the BBC texting tv news re the NI part and it stated the impressive increase in passengers on Northern Ireland Railways. Its good they are doing that like the rest of mainland GB and especially being the worst of rail reduced many decades ago. The main line...

Scotrail made a good job of re-opening the line from Stirling to Alloa and broke the passenger target. The passenger side had been taken away decades before and was goods only. Now with the line doing so well they are working flat out to electrify it with the work being done during the night so...

Following the success of re-opening this long gone line from Edinburgh as far as Tweedbank there have been attempts to get more of this line back. As I have said previously the success of the longest rail re-opening in Gt Britain (over 30 miles) has been a further win in passenger numbers...

As routiners will know having crawled back to my lengthy Irish project north and south I was looking at PFX's builds and noticed that he had created the different Irish rail station platform name boards for each of the 18 stations South of the Border into Dublin plus the three stations on the...
