Messing around
With MSTS working again, I decided to play
about with some of my trains as you do. First crash is of 2xEWS Class 37's
as I found the end of the line on the Eastbourne branch of the
London-Brighton route and the second is a of a very odd error where I was
driving a rail recovery train from inside a coach, again on the London to
Brighton route.

Testing
After a reinstall with MSTS I ran a test train to see how if an earlier
error would happen again, it didnt, but the only way to test it properly
was to, CRASH! Excuse the very low graphic settings as I was running at
default low settings!

Troubling Tunnels
Thomas
Seifert sent in this crash with another interesting angle in a tunnel.
Apparently he wasn't aiming for the tunnel its just one of those things. I
can't complain really!

JarOfWar sent in these shots of a BNSF diesel
with an interesting wheel arangement and a shot of a tanker with a
problem!

Orien-tun-el
I took the Orient Express for a spin. I ended
up spinning it just before a tunnel. The coaches soon scattered around it.

House call
I thought I would actually put a couple of my own crashes up. I took the
Eurostar for a spin on the Tokyo route and found a lovely straight piece
of track limited to 68mph. It was straight so I went at 120mph up a hill
and didnt see the corner ahead, or even the house I smashed into!
8/10 1/02/04 |
 |
Evilstar I
decided to see how this train handled backwards in Tokyo, flying along at
180mph I found a building in my path. The front engine (it was really the
rear as I was going backwards) flew off and hit the building upside down
before the original front engine derailed and smashed into it making the
red lights look like evil eyes, only then to find its own building to
crash into. The coaches survived and rolled on down the track at 170mph,
unsure what happened to them.

Class 37 flying horizontally across the horizon at about 600mph! Nice

Easy derail?
Ever wonder why the trains come off the tracks
so easy at times, JarOfWar proved another reason why!

Steamy crash
JarOfWar sent in this crash where two Scotsman
trains have collided head-on in a station.

Volcano!
This crash from JarOfWar shows a great crash inside a tunnel, but the rest
of the train has exploded through the mountainside!

Where did that come from?
This shot shows an apparent random wagon
flying through the air, from JarOfWar.

Amroad
"Here are two pics from a crash I made about a week ago. I was attempting
to recreate the train crash at the end of the movie "Silver Streak"
starring Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. I uncoupled the locos and first
three coaches (as Gene Wilder's character did in the movie). But I had
forgotten to throw a key switch and instead of crashing at the end of a
dead end siding, the train kept going down the main line. I thought "Heck
with it", and uncoupled the first loco from the rest of the shortened
train and then hit the brakes causing the 2nd loco and first three cars to
crash into it. But then, the last 5 coaches (that I had uncoupled earlier)
hadn't stopped yet and ran right into the wreck! Enjoy!.."

On the Bridge

Now you see it, now you dont
This shot from JarOfWar shows the new BNSF

Share the Tender-ness
JarOfWar sent in this image of another
interesting consist, this time completely of Scotsman Tenders. Feel sorry
for the staff coupling them all up!

UFO Tom
sent in these shots of the UFO you can download for MSTS "One pic is of
the UFO flying away. The other is of it flying towards some skyscrapers
(which it flew over, not through!)."

Steam = Fire + Water. Not a river!
Mark Pompeo sent in these two shots of his
first attempt at crashing a steam train. Think I can safely say that these
are a good start.

GO'ing down, down down
Jason sent this crash in via Tom. He drove a GO train up the Field Hill on
KHP version 1 and then rolled down with gravity. He reached speeds as high
as 85 MPH and derailed at a speed of 76 MPH. Well its an original crash!

Flying in a winter wonderland
I crashed a BNSF train consisting of 3 supercharged Dash 9's, 2 un-powered
GP38's and three cabooses into about 20 or so tenders at over 800 MPH and
these three pics are the result. Enjoy! Well done Tom!

The final resting place
These two shots show what happens when trains
have finished crashing and end up in their final resting place. "Jarofwar"
our discrete new crasher sent these in.

Hole in the tunnel
We have seen many times the fun that can be
had with tunnels but this is a new one, a hole in the bottom of the
tunnel!

Ready to launch
Mr anon again sent in another crash this time
of a loco that was disconnected, flipped up and ended up looking like
this.

MS Boatsim?
Our unnamed crasher sent in these two shots of
an interesting add-on for MSTS. Apparently this was a bit unexpected! Yes
I think I can safely say we would all be surprised to see that on the
tracks!

Blink and you will miss it
Thomas Seifert sent in this crash after seeing
the end of the line a bit too late!

Runaway catch-up
I attempted to recreate a crash I read about
in an old issue of TRAINS Magazine where a Santa Fe passenger train
crashed into 20 boxcars that ran away from a siding. In Train-sim, When I
hit the boxcars, the engines and first few cars had come out of a tunnel.
Cars that hadn't entered the tunnel became uncoupled and went above the
tunnel itself! Great work yet again Tom.

Its dark and we wearing fairy lights
Mark sent us in his latest crash that isn't of

easy to crash, hexagonal wheels!

Strange Tunnel
Thomas
Seifert sent in this crash series proving how buggy MSTS is in tunnels...
"This crash happened on the Semmering-Route (Austria) by Simrudi, a
fantastic Freeware-RouteBuilder, with an train called "Wiesel" in on of
the tunnels. The pictures show in row the head of the train entering the
tunnel, second is the interior of the "Steuerwagen" and the third is the
Steuerwagen from behind. After the last picture the MSTS collapsed."
Lets hope
they dont fix this
ammusing error in MSTS2. Nice work Thomas!

She'll be coming round the mountain
"I crashed a train with many tank cars and 5 supercharged locomotives. I
went through a bufferstop, and sent the train flying off a mountain."
Great stuff from Tom.

Steam train Crash
"I crashed a train led by a steam engine, 2 diesels (including a
supercharged loco). It was towing some freight cars and 6 New York subway
cars. Two of the subway cars and a flat car ended up in the river (the
flat car completely sank, honest!)"
