The Railworks melting pot

[Abco]

Hello all, I take advantage of this topic to introduce myself :

I am a railroad fan since my younger age. Althought I live in Europe and never go in United State, I am an US railroads lover for a long time.

About train simulation, I started in 2001 with MSTS and was thrilled with it at the beginning, then I switched to Trainz for several years. In 2007, I discovered Rail Simulator and since this time, I am a Railworks adept and left Trainz.

Railworks has not official content from the national company of my country (SNCF for those who know ), but I learned to like the UK content and Railworks increased my interest for US content. I also learned lot of things about UK, US and German railroads and I enjoy this.

Now I'm very impatient to have the NEC route, Acela and the Genesis/Superliner contents.

There's no "was" about 37s, btw, they're still out there.

Yup, in fact you can drive one if you like and have 150 quid going spare: http://www.churnet-valley-railway.co.uk ... diesel.htm

Mais oui, bonjour et bienvenue!

What I really meant about 37s is there's a few that haven't ever been withdrawn yet, but that works too :)

Salut Abco! by some chance do you know anything about what the cab display shows for TVM signalling?

Ah,I have that much ( actually I have a more detailed doc, I should perhaps expand that page a bit ) - what I don't know is what the two and a half bars across a TGV cab dash are showing. It's split into groups of 3 which show something from that list, but *where* it shows isn't very predictable.

Anyway this is getting a bit technical, back to global group hugs :)

Merci beaucoup !

Sorry Kali, but I can not tell you more than the Wikipedia article.

I'll take this opportunity to say Hello to all as well- I'm fairly new here :) Being a recent convert to rail sims I have to say its all been a ton of great learning, especially about the UK rail system. I'm now trying to rekindle an interest in North American railroading beyond my teenage years in the '70's and N-Scale modelling having picked up a couple of Mr. Garbers routes during the Steam summer sale, and recently the NEC which I've driven almost exclusively now since release...love the cab signal system and the nuances and ambience of that route. Also a fairly recent convert to UK steam power. I look forward to a long time of rail simming

In which case, welcome aboard as well, Leaf
