Hi all,

I suppose while there's an introduction section to this forum, i may as well use it. My name may be familiar some of you on other internet forums. My main interest in railways is firmly in standard gauge, working in the MPD of the Severn valley Railway and as mainline support crew for 4953 Pitchford Hall. But I do have a big interest in miniature railways also, especially 15 inch gauge lines. I have enjoyed many a happy day on the Ratty, and I love both Romney and the Bure Valley, miniature gives the real chance to see locos working to near enough their full capacity and good fun at that! I have done some work for virtual narrow gauge railways in Microsoft Train Simulator, having made a fictional 15 inch gauge country park line and currently building two further lines, one fictional and one well, more details may be revealed when there's more work to show!

Hello, David!!

Welcome to the Forums!! We are affiliated with Bucks TrainSim, who make, or are developing, a range of miniature railway simulations . I am unsure whether they are add-on packs for MSTS or another sim - I'm not hot on simulators myself - no doubt one of the Bucks TS team or someone more knowledgeable will fill you in or make contact.

You expressed an interest in miniature railways - that's all you need to be a member!! :) Feel free to ask questions or provide answers!!

Cheers,

Dom Greenop

Funnily enough I'm one of their team members! I am their miniature railway route builder!

Welcome to the team David. I have your HLMR route on MSTS and I think it is superb, especially that testing gradient from the Canal side to the Hall :P

Mainline Support Crew for Pitchford Hall? You lucky b*****d :D
