....that I walked into Woolworth's in Brixton to buy something (I forget what) and instead came across "Trainz Ultimate Collection" for £10 in the bargain bin. Intrigued, I took it home and installed it on my PC.... and here I am 10 years later still enjoying this great hobby!
In celebration of this small anniversary, today I release my third route - Much Murkle Redux - the release thread is here: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?123442-Much-Murkle-Redux-new-Release-Thread
Yes, I know, only three routes in 10 years, but each has been a labour of love: Ashburton-Windrush; Lavenham; Much Murkle. And two of them have been reworkings of routes by Razor - for me, the most inspirational small route creator I've known in Trainz.
For me, this game has always been more than a set of pixels installed on a PC - being part of a great community of people, participating on this forum and, in the last few years, getting into reskinning and releasing stuff of my own, has helped to make Trainz an important part of my life. So I'd like to thank you all: the creators, the script wizards, the enablers and helpers, the route and session kings (and queens), my great colleagues on TCWW and the feisty types on these forums who've often made me laugh, sometimes sigh with frustration, but always feel like part of the 'family'. And thanks too to the staff at N3V, the custodians and stewards of our game - much put upon, often misunderstood and criticised (only sometimes fairly) - but have worked wonders holding everything together and keeping the show on the road all these years with a lot less resource than their competitors.
So the first 10 years is up, now onto the second decade. Onwards!
