TrackSideProductions has decided to take a new route and develop add-on content for train simulators, specifically focusing on Railworks as the platform to deliver that product.  Over the coming weeks make sure you check out the web site as we will be announcing more information on our upcoming products and projects.

The team currently consists of James Hunt, Danny Beck, Chris Nelson and Chris Schwan, each of whom bring years of talent with them and have worked on several popular MSTS add-ons.  Our aim to take the enhanced graphics engine and route building tools available for RailWorks and produce some visually stunning route and locomotive add-ons.  The main focus of these add-ons will primarily be North America and we will develop products for both Canada and the U.S. markets.  While we currently have 2 routes underway, we are also looking at options for future projects.  Again stay tuned and we will release more information regarding our current and planned projects.

Over the coming months we will also be making changes to the website to better provide you with updates and information on our products and projects.

In the meantime take a minute to visit the forums and join the discussion.

The TrackSide Team.

Railworks Project Platform : Phorum Peninsula is now release on Steam and available to download.  All proceeds from this add-on are going to the Railway Children's charity which aims to help street children.  For more info on the charity visit their site; http://www.railwaychildren.org.uk/  

About the Game

 Phorum Peninsula is a fictional island located off the South Coast of England linked by a causeway and is notionally modeled on the island of Portland. The main features of the island include an American owned quarry, a thriving dock, the classic seaside town of St Bilton and many other tourist draws such as the lighthouse, causeway and fishing villages.

Project Platform was the name given to a charity event which took place in February 2010 where a 24 hour period was set aside to create a fictional yet engaging route which would be sold with all profits going to The Railway Children charity (www.railwaychildren.org.uk). Many assets were donated by the train simulation community and during the 24 hour period the majority of route building was completed.

Phorum Peninsula includes the following content:

About the Game

 Let’s step back to a simpler time in the United States of America and travel to the eastern seaboard and then northeast to the state of Maine. Even in Maine we will keep heading north until we reach the central northernmost part of Maine to just south of the Canadian border. We arrive at two towns separated by 19 miles of track, Fort Kent and Eagle Lake. This is where All Aboard’s newest installment of the railroading experience begins.

Photo Gallery Is Back!

Just wanted to let everyone know that our photo gallery is back online and ready to go.  If you haven't visited yet there are 1000's of railroad and railroad related photos.  Our most popular sections are the photos of Class 1 Railroads such as Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, but you should also take a minute to look at the other sections as well.  There are some great photos there too.

Please don't forget that we welcome contributions to the gallery from all members around the world to show what railroading is like near you.
 

The New Front Page.

Well as you're looking at this page, you can probably tell that the new front page has gone live.  This area is still in early development but as it grows we hope to be able to show more new and information that railfan's should find interesting.  Stay tuned and check back to see the progress.  In the meantime take a moment to post your thoughts about the frontpage in our forums.

We would also like to mention that there are lots of new features around the site.  The forum software and the download manager have both been upgraded.  This upgrade to the forum software was needed as the old software just wasn't cutting out the spambot and we were being hit on a regular basis.  It seems that for now the problem is solved and we're working hard to keep it that way.  If you do get spammed make sure you report the sender so one of the mods can deal with them quickly.

A visit to the download manager is in order if you're looking for MSTS or RailWorks downloads as the available selections is growing rapidly.  The RailWorks downloads are new and we're happy to report that there are more and more items appearing daily.  Special thanks to JessieJames for all of his contributions.  In the meantime feel free to post you own material as well.
