    Question for the Mac guys

    Its rare for me to post threads these days, but hey ho. Anyway, my question for the mac guys, I have a 2008 iMac (and a 2006 Powerbook), both going as I think its time to upgrade. I'm not looking at getting an iMac, due to desk space as I have more than enough desktops on my desk at the moment...

    Turning a negative into a positive.

    As those of you follow my posts closely, i had my confidence sent back 19.99 metres, I would say 19.75m, but Southern no longer operate Mk1 rolling stock. Obviously, thats if you get the joke. Because I applied to Southern and got rejected for a platform assistant role, (now add a guards role...

    Group work planning

    I'm wondering if this is an idea or not, but I am looking at starting a group of hopefully some likeminded indivduals to join me in building some contnet for Trainz. I'm not sure what it will be, but I would like something "Southern (UK) based." or start something as big as Crossrail for...

    And to throw something in the mix...

    Third time around for applying to the rail industry and I have an assessment. The first time I applied to Southern, I had just one assessment to deal with, now I have three for a platform assistant role. And worse, I'm not expecting to pass. This is for next week, so I need to think about...

    Embarrsing moment of the day (non Trainz related)...

    I know, I should keep to Trainz, but I just wanted a "WEN Point and laugh club." Yep, its my car, nicely broken down, about a few hundred yards from a roundabout (rotary/whatever) about 8-10 miles from Chichester, when my car while overtaking another one died. One minute I was listening to...

After thinking "oohhh, must have a poptart" and celerbrating my birthday which turned into a massive coughing fit as I sweep my way around courts picking up loads of dust, dirt and then for the dirty work, given a tart at the end of it (how thoughtful of my management. I...

    WEN - 26 2day.

    Another year older and as I have been joking for some time, "just a celerbration of 26 miserable years on this earth." Really, its not been that bad. The only thing is, new years tends to be the time when you set goals for the next years wheras I find birthdays these days nothing to...

    Backlight issue - a strange one.

    And yes, its weird: Someone I know off came to me with a problem on their laptop, which naturally, did not work, the computer functions and works properly, but the sreen didn't. The story behind it is they started it up, went away and the computer died (screen went black), which I have been...

    10 years of the forums!

    I put this in 2 days late, but oh well. For those that don't know, August 1st 2000 (When the old forum was up), is the start date (according to many resources) when the Trainz forum went live. And just for more proof, heres when John Banks (For those who remember him - where is he now?) joined...

    For the steam fans, what's this engine?

    I ask as all I know about it, is that it looks rather funny when hooked upto Bitterne. This: http://www.watercressline.co.uk/thomas/images/ch13h08a.jpg was used at the Thomas events on the Watercress Line recently as Percy. A funny little engine really. Personally, if you removed the GRFP face...

    The smallest computer Trainz can run thread?

    I thought I create this thread as the rise of Ultra Mobile PCs or netbooks and nettops may mean Trainz is playable on a very small device. I guess some like to get their "trainz" fix on the move, like in the back of their parents car, on the train, bus or plane and hopefully we can suggest some...

    Banner/signiture sizes?

    I know I shouldn't be going on about this, but there seems to be many users with large, oversized signiture banners. Can anyone clarify to me if this rule is enforce?
