You deffo should, its a very relaxing drive when you're feeling stressed etc.

Have you downloaded it?

Yes - it is very good, especially with features like the waterfall. All the buildings are custom modelled and some of the TR locos are in the pack too. Its the sort of complete fuss free package that is nice to get for MSTS once in a while. Its not challenging to drive particularly but it is good to chill out with.

Thank you for telling me that. I've had a rough week, and I find that driving trains on the NEC while listening to music helps. However, since the music is Irish, I think I should probably listen to it on this route (even if it's in Wales, it's closer that D.C.).

Back on topic, this week has been busy, but I will try to work on it this weekend.

hi i have an

if its possible u could add the tomas the tank sound tracks to loco or just play them in windows media player just to add some realism to the map

That's a good idea, except that I don't have the music for WMP. However, I was considering playing the game while listening to an episode on the TV.

thats what i thought it would be like writing your own episode

Train-a-Mania · Post by **Train-a-Mania** » 24 May 2006 00:22

Essentially, you could reenact your favorite episodes (using Driver mode).

Oh, and I have purchased the Talyllyn Railway for MSTS. I'm just waiting for it to arrive...

jonnie47 · Post by **jonnie47** » 24 May 2006 11:06

so i take it that it has small steamers on it?? isnt there a tomas the tank add-on for msts anyway?

Train-a-Mania · Post by **Train-a-Mania** » 25 May 2006 01:13

The Talyllyn Railway is what the Rev. used to create the Skarloey Railway (look earlier in the topic).

There is a Thomas loco for MSTS, but as I have said before, I don't know how to put MSTS trains in LoMo. If someone else wants to, that's fine.

I apologize. I haven't been working on the Island much (although I do have the rest of the mountains done, along with the Culdee Railway).

that would make it ten times easier if somebody could make it for u

Illegal_Alien · Post by **Illegal_Alien** » 25 May 2006 18:44

Just ask it nicely to somebody

Train-a-Mania · Post by **Train-a-Mania** » 26 May 2006 02:27

If someone has a Thomas set for MSTS, would you please consider converting it to LoMo?

P.S. I got the Talyllyn Railway CD and did one activity while listening to some relaxing music. Very nice!

You could always get Making Tracks' new Irish Enterprise route, although much to my chagrin they've released the Ulster section (Belfast-Dundalk) section first, with the Dublin-Dundalk section (which I think more people were interested in) to follow... eventually.

I find the NEC is indeed a relaxing, hypnotic drive - I use the driveable E60 and CD2 of 'Chilled Out Euphoria' if I'm really stressed, or the Acela and James' 'Pleased to Meet You' album if only a bit stressed.

There's a great activity called the Twilight Shoreliner which you should try (it's on Train-Sim.com)

Also, A LOT of it is based on the Manx Railways and the Isle of Man.
For example A LOT of the names are taken from manx place names and Thomas himself if nearly exactlly a Beyer, Peacock Bissell-truck 2-4-0. Also A LOT of the books were written on the Island.

Yes, the NEC is relaxing. However, you have to keep to a tight schedule. On the Talyllyn Railway, you just cruise at 25 MPH.

The Activity I like is called Night Owl, but it comes with the Roundhouse MSTS package.

The name Sodor is a Manx name itself. Also, on a map of the Island that he drew, there are a few railways on the Isle of Man, but he doesn't elaborate on them.

I plan on having an update later...Stay tuned!

Yea, becuse our bishop's offical title is tjhe Bishop of Sodor and Mann!

P.S. Welcome to the forums.

Yep, that's the one. It would be even nicer if someone translated it over to the vastly superior NEC v4.

What's better about NEC v4? Can this be found on Train-sim?

Anyways, the long-awaited update! I finished the mountains, the Culdee Railway, the line down to Kirkronan, added a few wheat farms, built two new rivers, and added more cities.

I figure I'm about halfway done. And yes, I know the landscape looks bare. I plan on adding plants last.
