Congratulations to John and all who have "kept the faith", sometimes through some very testing times. Many of the stories told in this thread have echoed mine - the stress release, the island of stability and calm in a world seemingly filled with chaos, the support in these forums from fellow travellers who are never strangers (despite our sometimes disagreements).
It is easy to see why this franchise has endured, and survived its "Auran-Fury" disaster which would have killed off many similar sized enterprises, its supporters are so passionate about this hobby (sorry, "way of life").
Despite its many "hiccups", Trainz just gets better and better with age - like a good red wine. Have an extra glass this New Years Day.
