The "Whistle Stop" trainz newspaper given info of what's happening now ...

As of May 5, 2007

Enjoy
Ishie

Plz Note: the link will always be the same but the newspaper contents will change from time to time. I will update this post by just changing the date in blue!

Piz Note: this is not a daily newspaper. Basically, each month we see what we get done in all trainz departments, which includes routes, contents, products, etc and if it's worthy then we type it all together to present it to you guys and girls. However, to view what's available currently just stop by our forum and take a peak, and spend some trainz fun-time with us!

But it's a daily. Where's edition 2 please?

Good luck with the newspaper, it's a great idea.

An observation, not meant as a criticism: it's fine in IE7 but the formatting doesn't work properly in Firefox 2 on my computer. Some of the text appears on top of other text and some is hidden behind graphics.

ps Do I detect a Wendy's Hamburgers fan? I refer to the excellent use of the old-tyme newspaper ads as fillers

Hi John, I just checked it with my Firefox 2.0.0.3 and it rendered perfectly in mine.

The old pics, I just added fictional identities to them, then added them as fillers

The "WS" was an idea I had for my forum members to use as their own little tablet, where they can add a bit of news, a story, or "Heard Around The Ridges" type of thing. Anything really.

It's not daily.

Cheers
Wiley

Hi John, I just checked it with my Firefox 2.0.0.3 and it rendered perfectly in mine.

Just fits 800x600, let's see how 1024x768 looks - back in 57 seconds!

Most of the text body is a bit small to read in 1024x768.

But it's a daily. Where's edition 2 please?

It's not daily.

Just like the real "monthly" Womens Day.

Um Wiley, haven't you forgetton something?

VOL MCMXXVI

So this 1st edition is 11 years old

Hey Wait a minute, wait a minute there. Railroad. But, but Wiley, ignoring the SSR, Australia has railways, not railroads.

It's a small rag , I might widen it, full browser width, allowing a larger font size to be applied.

Just like the real "monthly" Womens Day.

That's it.

It took a while to knock up, I didn't think it was that long though.

Railroad, Railway, It's a "Global" thing.

Oh Ish6, you forget to build an industry to notify in Wiley's paper - a shredder for the real media "barrons"! (especially one one-sided) media!

Thanks for the idea ... Have not thought about it ... lol

i just checked my numbers ... at a cost of 1.3 million the Whistle Stop plant can now be built ....

A NEW edition. I've reworked the work area, added an old "paper look" texture to the background.

Hi all,

I've registered with Wiley's board, but since I'm waiting for conformation I'll just post here:

Firstly, could you give a mention to the competition that I was trying to set up. Recently, the subject's gone quiet, and I still want to know who is interested in taking part or if I should bin the idea. I'll subtly bump the relevent thread so people can see what I mean.
EDIT: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=10942

Secondly, how about getting a regular columnist for the various sections of the Trainz community. I'd volunteer to do Britain, though if someone else wanted to do it instead of me I'd not be offended.

BidMod.
