Leyland Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Did you obey all traffic signals? (ho, ho, ho) The eggbeater is a good way to display those close-to-the-ground screenshots. Nice pictures of some nice scenery - I'll have to save up some more pocket-money.... Leyland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Good work Jack. Out of curiosity - does it just traverse a few hundred yards across the runway, or the track is longer than that? & where does one find the train timetable?

Sundancer Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hey Jack, Is this a flightsimulator with a train add-on or a trainsimulator with a chopper add-on. The railway crossed the runway, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakashi Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I’ve got a ticket to ride! But tell me Jack, why would you need to catch a train when you are already in a nice mode of transportation? Nice photos of you chasing that train though!

VH-KDK Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Is this a train or The A Train Jack? A wonderful addition to the scenery and very nicely done too. I like the people stood on the back of the observation car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Very good shots, Jack. I know there's a runway in Pakistan which is crossed by a railway, too. I wonder if there are accidents of gear struts getting teared off? We all know the hump when driving over tram rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I can't imagine an airport in this day and age having an active railroad crossing a runway but you show the evidence and that's it - good job.

Leyland Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 This thread could be "endless"(not that I'm grumbling). Without checking, I remember there is a steam train among the train traffic at Orbx Southampton (England) and I think I also saw trains between a couple of USA airfields (adjacent towns) and alongside a German one. Like shipping, it all adds to the ambience. Leyland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
