August 10 2007 Corrected link to Boeing 737. Link now takes you to Yahoo downloads. From there you can get the 737
July 4 2006 I uploaded RBCLEAN today. A utility to clean up Route Builder files. Have been doing some other things other than BVE for a while, but all projects are still coming along slowly. Sometime last month I received my 20 000 th visitor.
February 8 2006 Sorry been away for a while. Doing some house keeping and work on routes today. Xmas tree route put away until next Christmas. The other routes mentioned below have a reprieve, I don't need the space just yet. Sitting at about 16900 unique visitors so far, so that makes about 900 for 30 days. I think I will have to find a new hosting location for some of my routes. Yahoo is timing out more and more. I suppose I could pay to upgrade. Will keep looking.
January 21 2006 Nothing really new. Have been playing with some things I got for Christmas and have been away from Train Sims for a while. The western end of Inner harbor is about ready for release as are some other minor projects. The Penn station Route builder route is coming along nicely. I need more information to finish this. The Christmas Tree route will be put back in storage at the end of January to reappear next November. It is on line at uktrainsim.com and train-sim.com all year round. 16000 visitors as of today. 4618 to the direct Yahoo download page.
November 27 2005 Another find Thanks Giving Holiday comes to a close. The food was plentiful and good, the football at least interesting this year. (My Guys lost). I have reestablished the ability do upload to my web site, The Christmas Tree Route Version 2005 is uploaded and ready to run. This year, the original was re worked to run with BVE 4. A new version with a monorail was created. A brand new version using some of the BVE 4 commands was created. The Background photograph is a panorama from where my tree will be. Also posted to the Train Sim and UKTS library. Enjoy. As of today 14693 visitors to the main page, 4294 to the Yahoo downloads page and already 23 downloads of the Xmastree route from here.
Please read the notice below. I will revamp the way I store things this month and some things will only be available by request.

NOTE
At the end of November, I will move the following routes to off line storage. They will still be available by request and most are in the Train Sim Library.

The F1 line continues to be popular, about 1 download per day. I am working on BVE 4 updates for routes, and vehicles. Should be available this summer

March 10 , 2005 I have been really impressed with the NYE 39 locomotive. I creaded a quick route to run it on until Al Bartons (http://www.virtualrailroader.com/ ) New York elevateds line is ready.

February 01,2005 Reviewing stats for the year, December was the biggest month ever on the downloads page, and January being the third busiest ever. Thank you to all the visitors. The Design Contest is closed. While we had many downloads of the starter kit files, we received no entrys by the end date. Oh Well, maybe we can play with this later. For those of you who did download the files, enjoy and please make and release something with them.
January 01 2005 Happy New Year to all. Last year I had about 5500 visitors and about 1800 to the Yahoo downloads page. Not bad for a small page of a hobby operation. Today I closed the contest download page. Now to wait for the submittials. As of today, only my Canal boat trip has been posted, and I do not want to be the only player. I am also looking to redo the layout of these pages, any input and suggestions appreciated. Also the Christmas tree route is put away along with the other Christmas decorations/
09-23-04 Moved contest downloads to Yahoo pages. I think everyone who wants one has a copy, but will leave them avaialble as long as I can. In the september issue of the on line magazine Virtual Railroader, my stuff received several good comments. http://www.virtualrailroader.com/ . Added link to the magazine. Hits over 4000 on main page and 1000 on Yahoo downloads. Still searching for more free space for my stuff.

04-04-04 An interesting date. Some time today the 1800 unique visitor. 747 route move to Yahoo, but the drivable plane stays here. Tight demo routes uploaded to here, documents to Yahoo. Updated contact info to reflect move to Road Runner mail.
04-01-04 Sometime last night the 1700th unique visitor. I have moved all the low use files to a yahoo page for hosting. That leaves this site for the high demand stuff. I suspect the 737 will move to Yahoo in a month or so. Now for a ship :)
03-10-04 1400th unique visitor. I am now looking for a hosting location to store most of my files. Here I have only 5 meg of space. It is not metered or advertiser linked and is part of the internet connection package, but it is rather limited. I plan to keep this as the entry portal, but store the downloads somewhere else. Suggestions are welcome.
03-01-04 Downloads back on line with Airport, null platform,round buildings and night kits for bus objects.

11-05-03 Public announcement of site
10-15-03 As of today, the creation date of this site, Mid October 2003, there is not a lot here. I created this to have a place to post my BVE related objects and routes. This is a limited storage site, so in some cases, the download page will link to another site. Most of my stuff is also on the Train-sim library, so some of the links will be to that library.
