    BVE TRAINS

    Does anyone know why bvetrains.co.uk is currently unavailable? I couldn't access the site yesterday either. :-(

    Looks like the hosting server is "suspended":

      Hmm ... shame. I wanted to redownload the DMU Class 104 to run on Chris's great Plymouth to Liskeard route (check out the Royal Albert Bridge!). The route works perfectly but, for some reason, my 104 became corrupted and, being one of the recommended trains to use on the route, I need BVE trains :-(

        I think it is all to do with Free-Hosting. All sites hosted by them have been doing funny things.

            Yeah, that's right. I think the whole thing has vanished now; I for one can't get any response out of the e-mail or anything
            If anyone wants a copy of the 104, drop me a mail.

                No. I've spoken to both Steve & Anthony recently, and the reinstatement of BVE Trains is in hand. Please don't forget the twin problems that plauge a site of this kind:
                1. The bandwidth monster A site like BVE Trains will be using as a minimum upwards of 100gb a month==> Massive costs
                2. Real life :+ Sometimes people have other priorities.

                Rest assured, it will be coming back at some time soon.

                Cheers
