  6. I spent the past few days abroad as I had to attend some family business. We went by #train (german ICE bullet train) and being somewhat of a #trainnerd this sparked a renewed interest in #trainsimulator software that will run on #Linux using #WINE.

    Aside from #Zusi3 which is a professional simulator also being used in training centers in germany, there is oldie-but-goldie #MSTS (Microsoft Train Simulator) released in 2001 (!)

    Yes, this was 24 years ago but still, a lot of #railsim fans here in europe consider it one of the best of its kind and third party patches have been released over the decades to keep it up to date with modern hardware and to iron out some longtime bugs.

    However, there is also an alternative to that called #OpenRails which is an open-source remake of MSTS able to run commercial and free content originally designed for MSTS. I installed it using #WINE and #PlayOnLinux on my #VoidLinux box to check out how it performs. Note that I had to use winetricks to install .net 4.7.2 and xna3.1!!

    So here are a few screenshots of Open Rails running the commercial "RhB Bernina" Content I bought decades ago.

  11. I am not a fan of the sun, well not 30c sun anyway and being off work this week means I have had time to do some work on the model railway.

  21. Bit more work on the model railway this weekend.

    Painting mud areas and grey areas, laying grass, planting trees and touching up roads where glue didn’t take first time.

  24. It’s muddy out there.

    Painted the muddy areas tonight ready for some grass application. The area by the factory that appears to be missed needs the road widening 😉
