Wow, that must have been a long time ago then.
Well anyway, the website is online, although some pictures need to be added and some information about the trains, so it's still under construction.
The link is:
http://www.pj-design.nl/ns-pack/.
Also a support forum is there, only previews are showen here, not any support (try to keep it all at one place, for more help and fast solutions).
Make a visit and check it out.

That's a VC light effect problem, should be fied in v1.0, but don't know if that is gonna be released. So until then, nothing I can do about it.

Well, that can be done, but also the information of the others are needed.

But what about the HuckePack Truck Trailer Carrier, and the Hbis? (The rest I allready found somewhere

) Does anyone knows that info? 'Cause I can't find it on the internet, and haven't got the books for that here.

The "Huckepack wagons i already drove 25 years ago.
On that moment they were in general use, so the must be released earlier than 1975 i think.
About general stats.
20 ton total weight per axle.
So a 2 axle stat is in general 15 ton empty, 25 ton pay load.
4 axle 35 ton empty, 55 pay load.
25 years ago max speed for cargo wagons was around 80 km\h
some fast container wagons 90 km\h.

Quick, simple (?!) question please. What is the difference between your NS pack and the NL pack by Scrat and Oppie? I mean does your NS pack have some of the same models as the NL pack?
The reason I ask is you have an auto installer which wants to place the dat files into my objdata folder, but I am not sure if it is going to over-write exisitng files already in that folder without asking. If so, can I specify another "dummy folder" to install to, so I can create any backups of specific files I need. Just want to check please before giving your NS pack a try.
Thanks
Rob

The NSpack are both seperate packs, and are not related tom eachother. they dont overwrite eachother ether; only difference is that the NS pack a conversion from MSTS is, and the NL pack handmade by oppie and scrat. Read the startpost.

@ RobH: Also beside what IA said, the NS-Pack starts it's file name's with "NS", the Scrat/Oppie NL-Pack starts with "NL". Offcourse the NS-Pack will only overwrite the NS-Pack files.

Thanks guys, just wanted to check nothing was over-written that I was not expecting. Better to play safe! Guess I should have read the early part of the thread.
