The Best Ever?

Adam seems to think these are the best crashes ever... he isnt far off. A great crash with the TGV and then it turns into one of our favorite type of crashes... the rocket train!

As for the best ever... ill let you decide.

There are some people who just want to show off and Alex has done so with this picture. If you look closely you can just make out something in the distance... its just silly

This may happen if you don't stick to the 300 km/h limit of the very nice
TGV route. Allthough Peter does question if a powerhead would tip over in reality.

This has to be our best set of crashes we have recieved yet. When Sean sent them to me i yelled "WOW" then burst out laughing. This is very excessive and very big and did i mention very good.

Text really cant put this into perspective so have a look for yourself

11/10 9/7/02

Sean then decided to compress some tankers with deltics... nice enough

I think this is Sean at work again and he has produced a stunning mass crash. Another Field shot as well of a EWS 67. I know I said CIGs cut through the country side of Sussex but I think that pic is taking it a step too far. Great work

Mike Phillips was  going about 125 MPH when I hit a stop. yes, its flying! Another outstanding crash sent in!

10/10 29/6/02

gatwichexcess.jpg (62563 bytes) Gatwick Express

I think Flob didn't realise the Gatwick Express stops at the station for passengers to get on their flights and not just make the train go up a hill and fly

8/10 29/6/02

seaneuro.jpg (20873 bytes) No penguins, No Gimmicks, Just a Eurostar in a field.

I think this was a Via AMD103 and the pseudo-LRCs, I hit the buffer

Ed Fielden: Pummeling along at 148 miles per hour on the North East Corridor route with the trusty old Blue 'n' Grey HST, I discovered F8, the switch controller. 1 click, and, erm, bang. Went up a dead end, and was amazed to see the HST fly into the air. Spectacular.

8/10 7/5/02

desert.jpg (108105 bytes) Desert Death Crash

Daryl showed us what he can do with a freight train in the new desert route. Considering the weight of those trucks this is a great crash.

A real Zeppelin

A german guy constructed a Zeppelin who drives like a loco - 100 meters above earth. There are different views and you can "crash" the Zeppelin like a train, because he uses the route below as his track. This is a lot like the helecopter you can get, but I think it looks much better. One thing... what happens when it goes through a tunnel?

9/10 20/4/02


cigcrash1.jpg (92946 bytes)

NSE vs SR

Im still not certain what actually happened here. My South Central CIG was running at 80 odd down a straight when a Network South East 465 came in the opposite direction at about the same speed. The next thing I see is coaches bouncing around the country side of the ECML route.

8/10 17/4/02

TGVHS2.jpg (106766 bytes)
High Speed TGV

A new addon in germany is out and a really strange train called "Schienenzeppelin" - used on the route Hamburg - Berlin before WW II - is added. Thomas then tried to crash it on the Rheintal-route an suceeded (pic 1 and 2). The third pic is from the Albula-Line in the station of Bergruen - a little accident with the same loco.

The not so Advanced Passenger Train

Tom and Flob quickly got hold of the BR APT-E (Advanced Passenger Train - Experimental) and did some quick test runs. Both proved why they should not of been on the original test crew. 

The first pic is just a very funny one of the textures of the train. That bloke looks funny and very silly in the sim when the train is racing along at 150mph. 

The others are crashes we both did. Good work if I dont say so myself

10/10 10/4/02

mstsbug.jpg (51612 bytes) MSTS Bug

I love it when we see errors in MSTS and Thomas has got another great one here.

The bottom-glass-picture is taken with the same loco (VT 137) on the ProTrain-Route from Köln-Deutz over the bridge across river Rhine.

Tight Speed Limit

Flob found on the Caldervale route a tunnel with where the line speed is 65mph 

67+ will produce spectacular flying results through the top of the tunnel , with the train happily carrying on.

Im not quite sure why he has crashed the helicopter, but still.

First the train crashes when going to fast into a station on the Pro Train route in the Rhine Valley. Not only does it roll over it also obstructs the other track, just in time for another train to smash into it. Perfect. Go Thomas!

Tom was testing the class 20 when this happend. Yes there is a train in there somewhere, before it fell through the floor!?!

8/10 27/2/02

iccrash1.jpg (117546 bytes) Detached

Tom thought it would be good to uncouple a 125 at 145mph before hitting a siding. This time it was intentional!

Tom decided to make good use of the break down crane, by seeing if it crashed and because of the difference in weight of the parts (The extra buffers, crane holder and the actual crane) pieces flew off and the crane just tipped back after the class 37 hit it at 100mph!

Both crashes are made on the "Albula Line", a very well done and exiting route from St. Moritz (Swiss) to Filisur (Border to Italy) in the Alpes. The first crash was done with a "Kiha" loosing some wagons falling down from a bridge and the second with the "TGV Atlantique" crashing the head of the train through the bridge.
Thanks to Thomas Seifert again.

Bad day at work

This just shows that if its going to go wrong... its going to go wrong in a big way. Driving the new 125 at 88mph on a 80mph restricted track hit a corner, just as a NSE 159 DMU comes around the corner... The 125 derails into the path of the oncoming train also at 80mph, just in front of a viaduct. They collide head on and the rest of the 125 buckles and falls off the viaduct narrowly missing some houses. Impressive!
