That steam loco sim you mentioned, what do they have you doing? Driving or doing everything the driver and fireman would do including firing, monitoring the water level etc.

It should be the full Monty with a fireman & a driver, They send audio teams all over the world to record everything & the sound on a good sound system is absolutely real.

They've been waiting for the software to catch up with what they want to do with steam locomotives with a new vehicle dynamics engine physics. I cant wait to get my hands on it, Just not quite ready yet.
I've been looking at the rest of their sales for this month & lots of north American CSX locos & routes & I'm undecided about the French LGV Mediterrannee as that's 60% off decisions decisions

Morning everyone from a bright and sunny Cornwall.

There is a frost.

Going into Plymouth this morning by bus. Not been into the city for almost 2 years.

Morning all from a dry and mild Edinburgh.

Morning. Had a hellish night, acid reflux the back of two and struggled to get back to sleep after it.

I meant to say all of the the drivers & fireman's controls/functions will be operated by your PC mouse & keyboard.

From what I can gather the scenario is set in the twilight years of steam in the northwest with a Stanier Jubilee class & a Stanier 8F class with carriages & freight wagons from that time.

I'm not getting the French TVG I'll save my money for this one.

I was going out to get a couple of things, not essential so bugr it, I'll stay home. Absolutely shattered after the night I had. Make the spring rolls later.

Afternoon, just

Started off cold here but now almost into double figures and actually bright, although the sun isn't actually out.

Quizzie missed out on her swim this morning courtesy of a fisherman. He was perfectly sociable and quite settled, and I have no issues with him enjoying his pass time without it being wrecked by a golden lab.

She made up for it by getting some fuss from him
