No Nakedness!

One of the beta testers has just emailed and reminded me about something I'd thought about a while ago, and then forgotten!

We have a very nice model of an oil tail lamp on the back of the tank wagons and a very large sign on the side, like the one in the picture. I did have a bit of a worry about how the two went together!

The esteemed beta tester has reminded me about the bardic and electric tail lamps that were developed to go on these wagons rather than using a barrier wagon to carry an oil tail lamp.

However, I can't for the life of me find a picture or drawing of either to sort this little problem. If any of you could help with a picture from your collection or a link to a picture that would be a great help.

Please leave a comment to this post with a link or contact us at http://www.fastline-simulation.co.uk/contact.html and we'll let you know where to send any pictures.

Thanks in anticipation for any help!

Busy Busy

It's a slightly mad time ahead as we prepare all the web pages and supporting information for the unveiling of the first three stock packs from Project East Coast. With any luck the next posting you see here will be that the announcement has been made ....

In other news we've had a fun week unwrapping the first of the Project East Coast models ready for texturing and baking after testing the shape in RailWorks.

When's a Stock Pack not a Stock Pack?

A bit of updating time on the website today.

We've added some details about the format that the Stock Packs for Project East Coast are going to take and a few other tweaks here and there.

If you haven't noticed there's also a chance for you to get involved and influence the project.

Back in action

After an interesting week of delving through some of the lesser seen areas of the internet that we all take for granted when it actually works we're pleased to say that the website is now back on line.

We've not been idle while the website has been down and have been making some good progress with the first items that form part of Project East Coast. We're not quite ready to tell you what they are yet, but you can expect a big announcement in the next week or so.

Spanner in the works

A weird day today.

After sending out media releases about Project East Coast last night we awoke to find the website wasn't working. For once it wasn't broken by us tinkering so that was refreshing!

Investigation showed that the problem was due to changes on the part of the domain registry stopping the domain resolving. After updates at the registry and with the hosting company it's now just a case of wait and see for the changes to propagate through.
