Not surprisingly the loco derailed (or as the caption says, got stuck in the mud!) Can you beat this? Ad how would you model it? Does Templot have a 'Distress track' function?  Tim |

cool, but I think you may have overdone the offsetting setting there! BTW that Jing looks promising |

Tim David wrote: BTW that Jing looks promisingHi Tim, Paul, Yes, that's why I posted it. Just a few minutes from your message to having a reply with full video. Has anyone else installed Jing? p.s. Paul's effect is not strictly a bug -- it means the transition curve is so "gentle" (very small radius change in very long length of transition zone) that it has exhausted the precision of the processor. It's interesting to try exactly the same settings on both AMD and Intel Pentium processors and note the difference. On my systems the Intel is noticeably worse. regards, Martin. |

Never has the word "inevitable" been so appropriate! Cheers Richard |

----- from Andy Reichert ----- That looks mostly like subsidence caused by an underground spring/seepage and no proper drainage. Andy |

The line out from Calvert to Bicester is also pretty ropey - sees one out and back weekday train as well. I'll see if I can dig out a picture showing this over the w/e. Richard. |

Not as bad as the previous example, but I guess a loaded bin liner is a might heavier. Diverted along the Bicester line due to the Tesco car park chaos several years ago, this the Calvert-Cricklewood binliner. Richard. |

Taken on this years holiday.The perspective exaggerates the effect of that track, but it does look quite spectacular. Watching a train drop down it is quite impressive. One year a driver (on a Funkey) used the drop to accelerate and get a good bit of speed up - I'm sure he broke the line speed limit  Richard wrote: Not as bad as the previous example, but I guess a loaded bin liner is a might heavier. Diverted along the Bicester line due to the Tesco car park chaos several years ago, this the Calvert-Cricklewood binliner.OK, I know a class 66 is nicknamed "shed", but what is "binliner" in this context? Although it's about 75 years too modern for me, I do like the design of the 66. I reckon in the future it'll be regarded as a classic in the same way as a Western or Deltic. |

Hi 'Binliner' I believe is the nickname for refuse trains. Dave |

I've found some more bad track, watching the movement on the cars about 3/4 of the way through is enough to make you seasick http://www.lubetkin.net/blog/2008/12/penn-central-1974-movie.html |
