2. Where is everyone uploading there msts stuff ?? That page was updated all the time with new stuff. when the page went off line for abit and come back on line it lost over 3/4 of its stuff. it's got stuff all on it now from before it went off line and nothing new ever gets put on it now.

This could be a fun discussion.

1. Just because the last stated update doesn't mean that was the last update:
31 Dec 07 Newroads v4.
09 Jan 08 Flexivan flat wagons loaded and empty updated.
10 Jan 08 VLCX louvre van (WCR) updated.
10 Jan 08 MLE standard flat wagon updated.
12 Jan 08 Victorian Railways Y Class updated.
08 Feb 08 ELX open wagon (VR) updated.
08 Feb 08 VHJA gypsum hopper (VR) updated.
08 Feb 08 CFCLA T387 (ex-YPR) updated.
17 Apr 08 several new Tutorials have been added.

How many people are aware that earlier this year the volunteer hobbyist behind Steame4me had what I would call a major health scare.

2. Alot was removed and still is removed due to copyright.
Some modellers have their own sites now due to Gimme Pigs and Pirating, they now control their models and it is up to them if the public get their models and what they can do with them.

I personally would like to see Steam4me become and be the Australian MSTS website.

I'm sure threads like this woud tick Yuri off no end.

If he has something to add, he'll add it when he can.

If theres not enough content being posted, perhaps you could start either producing the models and routes for others, or find something else to occupy your time.

Along with the 5 NSW routes that Brian mentioned I know of 2 SA, 1 VIC and 2 QLD routes that are being worked on as well.
What have you done since December 28? I know Yuri has been overseas on holiday with his family (or isn't he allowed that) also he underwent major heart surgery and that takes time to recover from and also he has his own business to run as well.
You say you are to dumb to build routes and models, then how are you going to build the installers that are required for dial up download (several required depending on the size of the route) and broadband download (only one required).
Wake up son, stop complaining and do what everyone else does, either build your own stuff or sit back and wait patiently for the things to arrive, they will eventually.

Sorry, must make an adjustment to the routes being worked on, it is 3 QLD, 1 VIC, 2 SA and 1 WA, now put that together with the 5 NSW routes that Brian mentioned and that is a total of 12 routes being worked on at this moment

Posting a thread like this is a good way to go about getting a virtual smackdown.

Actually Alltrains, you have underestimated the SA bit - it is 4 routes, not two - which makes it 14 Australian routes. And the detractors bleat about the lack of Australian stuff following the copyright thingy - what utter garbage!!!
And we builders who have continued to put in thousands of hours to routes and rolling stock have to continue to put up with the garbage in several threads recently where people who have a personal axe to grind and their selfishness blinds them to the reality to what MSTS still is in Australia today. Is it no wonder that virtually all the major builders have migrated away from Railpage Australia™ to other sites where personal abuse, whingeing, gimme pigging etc is not tolerated, where we no longer have to accept it and can get on quietly building for the majority of gratefuls.
And while we are on the subject of people who put tens of thousands of hours freely into this amazing hobby, Dr Yuri Sos, recently endured a life threatening medical intervention. There is not one thread on Railpage Australia™ by a user or a Moderator wishing him well - not one - hang your collective heads in shame. Oh there was one post from one silly old bugga who said something like "welcome back Yuri".
