Whew - activities are complete! I'm mentally exhausted. Especially after testing the 'tricky one' -- despite that I designed it and knew what to expect, I almost goofed up driving it ;D The "Driver's half" ended up at 6 activities (to be run in order). Each of those 6 has around 12+ AI DL and Picc trains in it - each with the right set number (so I could track them) and running to their WTT. That made for some fortuitous meets and situations. In derefence to my friends of the Blue Line (Hi Doc) I did not delay the District calendar timetable by cluttering up both ACT WB Pfms with small trains Other devious tricks were employed, however. Tomorrow I'll start kit build and install tests. This evening I feel the need for a beverage or three Luke -- yes, all that you saw on PP's pages, plus the RMD road plus some more. I need to finish this carefully now, so as not to bring about a foul-up of biblical proportions. But I *think* we're only a few days away from release. Enjoy your holidays folks!

I was on the Central on Saturday and it was mental - it seemed a lot quicker than it normally does. The trains I was on must have have really great (clear) codes!!

FWIW, I had a great Christmas Day. My daughter and her husband came by for dinner. I'd promised myself I wouldn't touch the DL today - but she offered to test out the activities. And found 3 small glitches. Which I fixed :oops: Kit build and install test will be tomorrow. Just now trying to determine the final kit size and if to use 1 big zip or several smaller ones. Your opinion is welcome. Early tomorrow I'll post the size if a single zip to give you a better idea as to your preference. Later, Jimi

but she offered to test out the activities. And there was I thinking that it was only her old man who was "strange"!! ;D A Virtual I/OP in the making? If you've got the option I'd suggest both. One big one for those with high speed connections and the small for those still suffering dial up.

I'd go for both too, as people who aren't on Premium on UKTS can download the one file, rather than queuing for ages for several files. Also, a few files would benefit people with lower connection speeds and Premium membership, as they'd have it in no-time.

Then again, i expect it's worth signing up for premium memeberhip just for the convinice of it! UKTS could do well sticking it on CD, then Jimi would get a bit of money i belive (although not his intention, he deserves someting in way of recognition!)

As far as I am aware the UKTS CD's don't result in any money getting back to the author - they merely cover costs. Money being paid to the author would introduce a myriad of new problems.
However I do seem to remember that for every x CD's sold the author gets a month's free premium access.
