Well, i had an email through form the blogs host "Blogger" saying they have designed a neat new tool for those of us who are a bit shy when it comes to CSS and HTML and have made customizing the blog simple and easy.

The tool works fantastic and the main structure of this blog was done in seconds form templates ready and waiting

have not had a full play with it but i liked the design so much i put it live instantly if you own a blogger blog and want to use it then check this link out: http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/2010/03/blogger-template-designer.html

a job well done!

Well it was certainly worth the extra few days wait for the latest RailWorks update (104.2b), With a brand new scenario interface and a timetable view scenario writing will be much more easy to get your head round with the latest new tools.

In addition numerous bug fixes one of which is the headlight bug have been rectified. just a word of warning from experience here: If you are using a re-skin of the class 158 (that was not part of the pack) the update will not have touched these. I will write a guide on what to do when i have actually fixed this myself.

this will be welcomed to those of us who drive outside the cab: The addition of 2 new warning icons "Wheel slip & AWS warning:



there have been many other improvements made and would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved with making the update.
