It feels like just a few days ago, I went onto CroTrainz in 2001 and entered the world of BVE. I remember downloading the R line and not having a clue how to drive the train until I came to the CroTrainz forums, http://web.archive.org/web/200112141...forum/board.pl

OMG
I first found Crotrainz sometime in 1999, and registered at the board soon after, & was then there until the end.
Maybe one day soon it'll rise from the ashes, as they keep promising.

RE: The Memories

Ah, memories. One day I too hope we can see Crotrainz reopen. It only succumbed thanks to the mindless fools in the community... thankfully htings have improved since 2003.

RE: The Memories

I'm very grateful for this memento. I met CroTrainz at his end, in february 2003.
I' d love to hear what was the main reason for vanishing site. I remember that was
something about "massive abusive postings", but it's still quite abstract to me.
However, all "oldies" routes which I never tested (only heard about it) are now
available and thanky you for that. Seems that CroTrainz was main BVE fan site
with lots of others features. Personally, I'm very interested in it because Barney
Špoljarić lives in Zagreb, Croatia, just as I. I don't know will the site be reactivated
but I'm shure that every BVE fan should be glad if that happened.

RE: The Memories

At the bottom of the first page is a screenshot of Reditch on the first version of Cross City South. It's amazing to compare it with the BVE version. Sadly, although it links to an archive version of railsimroutes, it doesn't seem to have any of the images archived, so I couldn't find any more screen shots. Brings back some memories though.

RE: The Memories

I remember those well
Also, if you can get at the forums, on the first page is an over-ambitious topic by me
(Pity you can't see the topics)
Still, what I've actually produced has come a long way from then!
