I just noticed that Discovery is showing it's 'Pure Inventions' series at
last!

That's the show where they filmed Alan Wickens and me walking round and
through the E-Train some months ago.

The show is for 30 mins, and it's on 3 times a day, firstly at 5.30 am (!),
then at 11 am and lastly at 5.30 pm. It's on the Discovery Home and Leasure
prog, Channel 133 on Sky and an hour later on Ch 134. It's only on today
and tomorrow this week, but I have no idea if it's always the same issue,
and I have nop idea how many issues there are yet.

Regards
Kit

Andy,

You've just posted the URL to one of my webpages.. thank you !

I just wondered what prompted this sudden bit of publicity ?

Hi Peter,

I spend most of my spare time searching the web for APT material. When I
come across anything interesting I post the information to the group.

If it's out there....I'll find it!


Take Care,
Andy

Andy,

I thought that I'd posted the URL to the group.. but a search of the
Archive doesn't show it, so perhaps I forgot :-(

Well done for finding it !

Whilst doing my bit of research for this incident, I was told that
(an) APT had been involved in a much more serious derailment, where
part of the APT had ended up down the bank. Do you know if this is
factual, or is somebody mis-remembering (possibly another incident unrelated to the APT's)

Cheers

That doesn't sound like something that would have escaped the media hawks
of the time....

As the train was effectively in four parts, two locos and a long front and
back bit, it would be difficult to imagine a scenario where 'part...' of an
APT could have gone down a bank on it's own.

I've certainly never heard of anything like that, unless we are talking
about the 'January 9 th incident' where POP train went off the end of the
Edwalton test track. Not that there's a bank there, just lots of ballast
with no rails!

HI - ARE DIGITAL PHOTOS ALLOWED ?? - EVEN IF 'RETOUCHED? / FAKED'

Thanks Kit,

I'll file this incident under "F" for "Folklore" !

I'm thinking that perhaps I should have a section on my
website, dedicated to "Well it MIGHT have happened !".

I think one of the better ones I've heard, was that
Queen Victoria stayed overnight in Carnforth...
The date give was two years after her death :-(

Oh yes! TC2 still has it's entire compliment of wiggly dogleg stuff, just
as you designed it. There's even a number of SE UV recorders still
installed in it! The amplifiers have all been removed, but some photos on

Attachments :

Recently, Andy Appleton kindly sent some pictures to APT group as attachments.

I hope (without ruffling feathers), that I might suggest that attachments
aren't sent with
postings to the group, as this is a VERY easy way of accidentally distributing
viruses.
I've seen this happen with at least two other Yahoogroups.

Attachments may (or may not) be welcomed by the recipient, but DO increase
telephone
time for upload/downloads.

If the group administrator turns the attachments option "off" this prevents
potential problems.

All Yahoogroups have an "Archive" area, where members may upload attachments.
Might I respectfully suggest to the group that it becomes group policy, that
files be either
deposited there, to be retrieved as required, and / or that a posting
mentions:-

"I have a picture / programme / file about XXX that other group members might
like to see
e-mail me privately / I have uploaded it to the archive"

I have been toying with this idea for a while, I'll let you the
members decide - I'll start a poll.

>Attachments may (or may not) be welcomed by the recipient, but DO

If you go to 'Edit My Membership' (top right hand corner) and set
your message delivery to 'Daily Digest' this will just send the text
from the message and NOT the attachment, which will save telephone
time. After reading the message and decide you would like to view the
attachment you simply log on to the group find the message and enjoy!

>All Yahoogroups have an "Archive" area, where members may upload

Daily Digest (see above) basically does the same. You decide which
attachments you want to view. However, Yahoo! have recently added a
section specifically for photos so I think if anyone is just sending
photos to the group they should be put in there and a message sent to
the group saying so.

Thankfully, I have never had a Virus. I make sure my anti-virus
software up-to-date and use a bit of "common sense". When I receive
an email that looks suspicious I don't open it. Okay, I am often
curious to see what the attachment is....But better safe than sorry!!

All in all I do agree with you Peter but as you said "Without
ruffling feathers" - So I'll start a poll and let the members decide?


Take Care,
Andy

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the
Advanced-Passenger-Train group:

Should email attachments be sent to the
group?

o No
o Yes


To vote, please visit the following web page:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Advanced-Passenger-Train/polls

Note: Please do not reply to this message. Poll votes are
not collected via email. To vote, you must go to the Yahoo! Groups
web site listed above.

Thanks!

I think i'd be a bit better to make use of the files section and the
Photos one too. I use my mobile to recieve some emails and if they
have attachments, it screws up the display into loads of 0's and 1's
(Binary! argh!)

I'd prefer the idea of a message such as "I've got a new picture of
XXX and it's in the photo's section, or at http://...."

Sorry, just had a idea and a extra "Arguement".

It'd be better in the files section to make some folders to arrange
some of the things too :)

And the photos space is limited to 30MB. I'm sure that'd be more
useful with more space... :| up/down load times !! (Thank god college
have ADSL!

ANYONE GOT ANYWHERE WITH APT IN MSTS OR HAVE YOU ALL LOST INTEREST ??

INTEREST ??

I haven't bought it yet - too expensive! is it any good?

Thanks,
John

MSTS is very very good, although the sound still isnt a patch on BVE.

Ive started work on an APT model, but as I have little experiance of
3DSM or autocad its slow work, so far I have a brick on E1 bogies.

Some help in making the model would be nice!

We will see APT in MSTS, just a question of when.

Paul

Hi Andy,

>I wish we did have 30MB of APT photos!!<

I should think that Paul's site must be getting on for that amount, and
that's just of E Train.

Paul?

What's the current loading?

Regards
Kit

Hi All,
Errrr, the whole E train website is.........98.6 meg (Bloody hell!)

The photo index section is .....34.4 meg.

The workday reports take up ......11.7 meg.

The rest is divided into small sub sections, but its all on APT.

With luck Thursday should be the day Kits Section hits the web.

Thats another 12 meg of pictures to add to the index and the total.

Its a good job Prestel like me!!!!!!

Hi All,
If you look at the E train website, you will now notice that Kits
collection of APT photographs has been uploaded and index.

There are some very nice shots of E train, POP and the staff to look
through. Ive tried to give them some sort of order so happy browsing!

Web site address:

HTTP://www.homeusers.prestel.co.uk/york1

or if you prefer :

HTTP://www.homeusers.prestel.co.uk/york1/kit/kit.htm

If anyone finds a link that doesnt work, please could you let me know.

Attachments :

So far I've managed to install a new train set, with three APT-P cab views
ie left, front & right. Also a minor repaint of the Acela to carry InterCity
APT logos.

I'm currently setting the traction / braking parameters to as near as I can
get them.

So far only two cab controls are animated - the rest will follow in time,
once I get some hi-res cab photos.

Must ask Santa for 3DSM so I can have the correct shape !

Hi All,
I was impress with Robs P train cab, so I did a bit of
work on an E train cab, far from finished and no
moving controls yet.

I need some better photographs of the E train cab,
with no lighing problems showing.

Anyway here is a taster of E train on the S & C.

Does it bring back old times Kit.

As E train has no side windows, the left and right
views will not be available.

The E train model is coming along very slowly.


The picture has been touch up a little to give you the
idea.

Let me know what you think.

You better believe it! It's excellent.

>As E train has no side windows, the left and right views will not be

You won't have the 'Tilt Failure' annunciator flashing then <g>

There's loads of annunciator lights you could have on the left and right
hand panels, or doesn't MSTS let you have things like that?

Regards
Kit

Hi Kit,
I need to borrow a high res digi camera so I can take some better
shots of the E train cab, yes I think Im gonna put the side panels
in, just for effect.

The view need to be a little bit more forward, so you dont see the
seat, I just used a scan of a photo I took years ago to see if I
could make a cab.

The big news is, Ive now got a copy 3D Canvas Pro, a really good
model program so E train will be on the rails again ASAP.

Im working on the Cab and model at the same time so something should
come out of all this soon(ish).

E train workday on Saturday.

Hi Rob,
All I will do is make the side panels, just so that you can say Ive
looked round the E train cab, errrrrr.

Hold on,,,, if I take some shots of the cab from 90' you could still
see through the door windows, that might work.

We shall see.

Hi Paul,

seems like a good idea - don't forget to try the HEADOUT( )
command option as well that gives a really good view looking forward
or back along the length of your train. - I know you can't stick your
head out whilst driving in reality but its well worth it on MSTS.

Rob

PS when can we see your box on bogies ??


And where did you buy 3D Canvas Pro and is it worth the money ?

I was hearing on a newsgroup that there are rumours of
a "patch" for msts that might be able to make the
trains tilt.

This was last week, and nothing else has been said
regarding the subject.

Also paul, I might be there on sat, if the flights are
totally cancelled to the US following the accidents
today.

Actually you could do that on E-Train, with the door window hinged down and
using the 'shunting controller', and the very first movement the train made
was like this.

That was after the rather confusing attempt to drive it frm the centre seat
when they found that PC1 was in forward and PC2 in reverse..........

Hello there fellow APT enthusiasts

I am recently acquired a Hornby APT, but I have a few parts missing.

1. No Motor, the chasis and wheels are there but no motor or gears.
Has anyone got a service sheet which would give the exploded view of
the model and part numbers.

2. No pantograph. I dont really need a working one so some kind of
dummy mock up is required. Any Ideas?

Thanks and Regards

Andrew
