What happened to PC Railways?

[rastis]

G'day! :wave:

I wanted to download my TGR M and MA Classes again, so I clicked the link to PC Railways, but all I got was one of those shi**y search engine type things. http://www.pcrailways.com/ I am really cheesed off about this. Those TGR Locos were the only TGR Steam locos I had. There's hardly any Tasmanian Trainz content around, which really upsets me.

Cheers...

Jake.

The old site is preserved in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20080312185219/http://www.pcrailways.com/. That version is from 2008.

Private thrid-party websites for Trainz, etc. going dead is very common. Such websites do not always stay up for so long, so the Internet Archive is one way to attempt to browse the website before it was taken down.

I am not sure of whether the actual Trainz content files (e.g. .cdp, etc.) are still on the site, as the Wayback Machine does not always archive all of the files in a website. You could try it out, though.

If you can not get it from there, then maybe a Trainz user around here has the content and could e-mail it to you (I am not one who has it ).

Regards.

EDIT: Forget about downloading them from the archived website. Those models were payware, and thus I seriously doubt that you could ever get a hold of them unless you could contact the author's non-PC Railways e-mail address (which I do not know of one). That is the bad thing about payware--if the last website that it is being sold on is taken down, the model could become vaporware. Regards.
