Nice, just in time for the dregs of my premium membership.

Mind I've still got to get TT3 set up and working, but the prospect of thrashing some Hydraulics through Cornwall is seeing this leaping over the top.

[haverfordwest]

I really rate Clive's routes Vern. Such a lovely surprise to see this earlier.

TT3 ? Transport Tycoon 3

Sorry, TT3 = Thames Trent 3.

Up and running with the Cornish route currently doing the Down Beds from Plymouth.

Note that the activities and equipment pack 39382 has been taken down.

Oh yes my fave route for OR, up untill this one was released.

Thames - Trent is an amazing achievement using the MSTS route editor.

Weird i wonder why that is, good job i got in earlier.

Hi All
Version 2 has now been uploaded and waiting approval. Hopefully it will be back soon.

For anyone who downloaded V1, there is no need to re-download. The error was minor but to correct it, required me to delete the original.

Cheers
Clive

Well I did notice that the Up Cornish Riviera activity had you starting with just the loco and no train behind it, so wonder if that's what Clive has fixed?

[casperdog]

Hi Vern,
Just checked the up Riviera. You should be in D838 with a rake of Chocolate and Creams behind you. Did the log throw anything up? OR does seem to do some strange things sometimes. I set up a freight and 4 cattle vans in the middle of a 30 wagon consist were invisible. Ran it again and they showed.

I had to pull the file temporarily as it included a file that shouldn't have been there. It didn't affect the activities etc but I didn't want it there.

Cheers
Clive

Vern you are too young, to have anything to do with hydraulics.

Mike.

[NorthernWarrior]

Oh I remember seeing them alright. My parents took us down from the North East to Dawlish in 1971 and we stayed in a caravan park at the Warren right next to the main line. Think the Warships were still about at that time. We also had relatives in the "A.W.R.E. City" (Calcot) so we used to stay with them once in a while which usually led to a trip up to London from Reading. So I probably had some hydraulic haulage even though I don't recall the details in my advancing years!

I'll try the Up Rivo activity again once I finish the Beds. As you say, may be an OR glitch.

[haverfordwest]

Nice one Vern and yes Warships still strutting their stuff in 1971, just.

When i used to go back to Swindon on a Sunday evening from Langley.

The service was to Cheltenham, which i joined at Reading. 90% of the time for the whole year it was a Western on the front.

I wonder if (hope) Clive will be extending the route eastward towards Exeter and Taunton.

[haverfordwest]

I would love to see something the length of TT3, Vern. But it's ok for me to say that, i am not the one doing all the hard graft.

To be completely honest if it wasn't for Clive's routes and MEP, i would not bother with OR.

Mike.

[NorthernWarrior]

I know I would never have the patience or focus to do a route of that length these days. A short branch line or model railway is about my limit and most of them end up binned.

[haverfordwest]

At least you try Vern, i don't have the minerals for it anymore.

Have to commend Clive, for including the branch lines as well.

That is what i love about TT3, it is complete. Not just a section of a route, leaving users wanting more.

His S&DJR i have on DVD is another superb effort.

Mike.
