I have uploaded the classic BVE2 Jubilee line Extension (and
accompanying 1996ts train) to the BVE downloads section.
With the construction of the updated BVE4 version still

delighted to be able to make it available to you all. To

feeds' link.

First update of the year.... in fact the first update for
over three months! Today's update consists of some shots of
units taken mostly at West Hampstead Thameslink last
October, and some shots of the new TOC liveries from around
London yesterday afternoon. You never know - I might one day
get around to uploading my shots from the Great Cockcrow
Railway and five days spent in the Leeds and Carlisle areas
last August (2007)!!!!

A while since the last update. Was offered a job with
Trafficlink yesterday, so in future that will be
included in my "I've been busy lately" excuse. Anyway, I've
updated the poll on the interact page.
A couple of things I've been meaning to do but have not got
around to include: reviewing the
BVE databases
(removing broken links and adding version compatibility
icons) and fixing the music player on the
interact page. If you'd like to
suggest some tracks for it then do feel free to
drop me a line and I'll see what I
can do. As always, if you want to get in touch for whatever
reason then feel free - I'm usually about. Oh, and Zane has
created
a support forum to accompany BVE Railnetwork. But
wait... thought of something else I need to do! That is to
update the review for Making Tracks'
Great Eastern product, covering the recently released
Braintree extension. You may wonder why I'm telling you all
this rather than writing it down. Well, the thing is I have
been writing myself notes but then end up losing them so
totally forget. Oops!
10th July 2007
Llewelyn has released some converted route files for the
Charing Cross to Gillingham route, therefore making it

little. Virtual Rail is now the

rail
photography section. Each of these can be accessed via
the links above. What with the site just going live
there are bound to be a few issues, although hopefully minor
ones. If you encounter any issues no matter how small you
think they are then an e-mail is
much appreciated. |
