    Another useful UK historic map site

    Found this one recently whilst perusing some old mainline UK lines. http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=51.5647&lon=-1.7918&layers=168&b=1 It's produced by the National Library of Scotland, but includes all parts of the UK. The link I've selected should open over a highly detailed OS...

    Train hits lorry in Czech republic

    The safety and road arrangement here seem appallingly lax. No gates, right on a t-junction! Lucky drivers - lorry & train.

    Forum down

    Good to see it back up after nearly seven hours. Do we know why it was busted?

    Stations

    ' A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. In my office I had a work station. Casper :D Be honest, how many members use Trainz, or this Forum, in the firm's time during working hours?;)

    Browser back button - not working

    . Is anyone else having difficulty? When clicking on my Chrome browser back button, nothing happens other than seeing the little blue swirly wheel endlessly spinning. I'm having to click on New Posts to get out of it. It is only a problem on this Forum. On other sites the back button works...

    “Get spline” problem

    . I have noticed a (very) few spline assets where the Get spline tool won’t work. It’s irritating because there is no way, in Surveyor, to grab and identify those assets in order to lay them elsewhere in the route. Some are by a creator who has made several exceptionally great bridge...

    Gradient accuracy in Trainz

    . Help please from the wise ones. I’ve been modelling the Swanage Railway and have recently acquired the gradient profiles from The Oakwood Press, “Swanage 125 Years of Railways”, by B. L. Jackson. I’ve been applying these gradients to my tracks. I’ve completed the full run of the main &...

    How good are DEMs for UK terrain?

    . I’ve seen some really good results for the US; at least I think they’re good, because I don’t know the areas to compare the results. Dermmy’s prototypcal routes come to mind (where are you Andy?). He has stated in the Forum that some of his work was created using DEM software. However, I’ve...

    Basemaps – larger than 1km square?

    . I was thinking of 2km square. Unwieldy perhaps, but potentially useful for general landscaping. I’ve successfully upped the image on the 1km basemaps from the recommended 1024x1024, to 2048x2048, achieving much better clarity for track laying over GE images. It occurred to me that applying...

    Playing YouTube videos

    Until the last few days I've been able to play videos directly from the YouTube start screen showing in the members post. Now I can't. I can get around it by RMB'ing the image and pasting the video URL into another browser tab where I can then open it. Something seems to have changed. Is this...
