VERY Different Type of Simming
One of my other interests is trains. Particularly British Rail in the 1970s and 80s. The old man's model railway is of this vintage and there is something very cool about the deasil locos of that era. Trainsim World 2 was/is on sale on Steam at the moment so I got it with a couple of BR addons. I wasn't sure if I would like it but it's surprisingly engaging and challenging.

A pair of Class 20s hauling a loaded limestone train through Tees Valley.

Couldn't get the picture sharp
A dirty old Class 40 built by English Electric (yes the same English Electric) slogging uphill from Leeds on it's way to Manchester with an oil train.


The cab on the 40

Class 45 with another oil train about to depart from Manchester Victoria for Leeds
If you're into trains at all, it's well worth the quite modest outlay.
