Took the kids swimming today and on the way back stopped at Woolies.

To my surprise, they are selling Microsoft Train Simulator for just £4!

Bought it, got home and loaded the discs and spent the next hour figuring out how to get the steam engine to move (should have read the engineer's manual, I suppose). Anyway, abandoned the steam engine and got the diesel running. It kept the little ones suitably amused for a good half-hour! They later left the thing unattended and it ploughed into Settle station at 80mph plus.

Might have to check this program out for myself tonight, just to make sure it's entirely suitable for the kids, you understand!.

I was devastated when my flight simulator 2000 stopped working on my computer, I LOVED playing on that!

Our daughters went swimming yesterday, youngest did her 200 metres, eldest did her 400 metres (16 lengths! I was Knackered watchin)
So I am going to get them a treat as we were so proud..... not sure what to get yet not sure they would like trains though.....

[Nickbat]

The kids love it.  

Of course being me, I had to switch on the realistic options but I haven't a clue what to make of the injector 1 & 2 steam and water flows, or whether my cylinder cocks should be open or closed.

Still managed to get the Flying Scotsman moving along the Carlisle -Settle route.

The views are really rather good, as to is the sound. Can't go wrong for four quid!

I've been building a rabbit hutch!

Sounds good though but I do like the real thing, never driven anything full size though

Oh Martin is back....hope the rabbit hutch went ok

What I will do is when I next capture some material - I'll encode 5 minutes or so and torrent it out so people can see.

Done the doors, just needs a roof.

three storey 5 doors, for two PITA bunnies. Then 2 guinea pigs get the old hutch and the other two rabbits get the whole of the original hutch.

B*******y pets

At least they are edible
