Oldie but newbie
Hi guys,
Been a member for a while but not been around due to work and dull real life stuff. Decided to install SHIII & IV on the pc again after a couple of years away from them and I've picked up the U-Boat missions add on for IV. Looks good. Glad now I didn't sell my copies. Anyway, never been much of a poster on any forum but saying hi and looking to pick up a few hint, tips and downloads again to make the experience as good as I remember it was. Cheers |

Welcome LNER1!
Does LNER = London and North Eastern Railway by any chance? |

Thanks for the welcome back guys.
Took the plunge and ordered SH 5 after seeing all the community mods that are out for it. You guys are amazing. I may regret spending the cash on SH 5 as I was put off by the negativity when it was released and I have SH III and GWX but I'm prepared to give it a shot. Has the game improved with the patch and mods to a good standard now or is it still wallowing in GWX's wake? Which are the best mods to install without spending two weeks trying to gather them? Many cheers again |

Yes, from my forray into MS train sim. God what was I thinking. Had the flask and anorak as well. Just kidding. I actually still play around with my "train set" now and then. Quite enjoyable and I never had the room for a Hornby set. But sub sims are the way ahead and below now. In the words of a "famous" U-Boat captain "I don't want any nasty soggy chips" Cheers |

MSTS, those were the days! Railworks is the big scene now, some lovely stuff on it if you ever feel like donning the anorak again. LNER is all good, although I'm a Southern/GWR man myself but since I live in LNER territory I've got a soft spot for the Gresleys too.
Oh, and "Vhen ve vin ze var...ve vill conzult ze list!" |

Thanks for the heads up guys.
Don't have win 7. Will that make a huge difference to the MMM mod? PC is a few years old now as well. Managed to download the MMM mega mod and will download Sobers MM over the next week (10 file limit). Not a problem as I have SHIII & IV to keep me occupied. Unless somebody can email me the smaller files on ze list. . Talking of ze list Oberon! It doesn't matter how many times I watch that episode of Dad's Army, I still laugh. Has to be one of the funniest comedy episodes ever. In fact I think I will watch it now while I wait for the limit to be reset. Wife just phoned to say my copy of SH V was delivered today. Many cheers |

Welcome aboard
I still have a Hornby Advanced Passenger Train, boxed, only used a handful of times - my dad was keen not to let me use it as the program had just been scrapped and 'it'd be worth something one day'. Apart from that my interest in trains is negligable bar waving at one at a crossing with my daughter. Today was a good day, four trains in succession and all drivers waved, and one tooted.

Installed MMM 0.5 and had a quick look around. So far so good.
Different looking game now. Hat's off to the modders. Many thanks for all the effort put in on making the game a sim. What other improvement are recommended that are compatible with MMM? Will be having a good play around this weekend. Got the gramaphone wound up and ready to go and find out if it is a long way to tipperary. Hope I don't end up a virtual addition to the 28,000. Probably will. Many cheers |

Well I got the MMM 0.5 up and running. Great stuff. Had the issue with ctd when arriving at Kiel when starting a campaign . Should have paid more attention to the read me. DOH!!!
Anyway skipped the tutorial (eventually) and am out on my first patrol. Thanks again to all the modders who have made me take a second look at this game. |
