Hi Matt, any issues, graphic glitches, script problems or any other faults with these locomotives? As no one seems to give me any feed back and it would be nice for me to know, so I can improve the next lot.
Cheers

Hi guys how the stuff are you all - sorry to report but the varicella-zoster virus (same bugger who causes chicken pox) has decided to give me a bit of visit so I have been out of it for the last 3-4 weeks including a hospital visit - on the mend now I hope. That and at the same time my lappy hard drive went wacko but everything was backed up but have not really been up to fixing it.
We will be returning to normal time tabled service soon.

Checks upstream and notices two possible river class frigates?
I would be a little careful shouting that from the rooftops as those sorts of things are usually classed as intellectual property and not for those outside of railway employees. If you are curious, yes I know about such things. Others in this forum can back my credentials. Word to the wise.

appreantly QR are big on things like this - remember the guy who would not share his great QR route as if he did he would get the sack -
The Blackwater system that used to be available for download was 88 pages, according to a non rail employee mate who downloaded it from the public site. Includes grade diagram. I just checked with him to get the page count.
A check of the site myself just then revealed many other QLD track systems are still available for public downloads.
Times have changed indeed.
I remember writing a letter to Westrail as a kid and some poor bugger ended up photocopying the line diagrams of every loco class as well as some yard schematics for me. Still have them somewhere too if anyone needs one (up to the P Class)!
Mick, I think I have L class line drawings somewhere on my system which a friend gave me. If I remember rightly line drawings for most old Westrail loco classes from the early 50s up to the 80s can be found at the Battye Library in Perth fairly easily as well.
