  1. Are you still interested in the photo? I can send you a full size version of it, if you need it! ;)

  2. The tutorial for the openBVE set up is located at the end of this post. Downloading BVE 2 or 4. Process for both is the same, I will be using BVE 2 as an example. 1. Go to http://mackoy.cool.ne.jp/ and choose the version you want to download (either 2 or 4). 2. On the left side of the page you will see "DOWNLOAD". Click on that! 3. Choose the English version of the game and click "DOWNLOAD" 4. A screen should pop up displaying the .zip file to be downloaded. Save it on your computer desktop for now. (You can erase it later when you're done) 5. Open the zip file. It should contain your respective BVE installation file and the readme file. (Note: to open the .zip file you will need a program like WinZip or a program that opens zip files and extracts them) 6. Now open the BVE installation file. Note: * The Windows Installer is necessary to install this program. * This program needs the VB6 runtime. The installer will open, now you will install BVE onto your computer, preferably under your Program Files folder on the hard disk. Follow the instructions until the installation reports to be finished! Setting up the route, object, and train files for BVE 2 and 4. 1. If you want to download NYCT routes and trains for the game, visit http://www.bvestation.com/downloads I will be using the non-fictional line from bvestation.com as an example. I recommend you do the same for now until you get the idea of how things work! 2. Now let's take a look at your BVE folder. All the files that are in there should be kept there. Notice there are folders named "RAILWAY" and "TRAIN". These are where your route, sound, and train files should always be. 3. Let's get back to the line route. You should have downloaded the A line package and the R44 train from bvestation.com. We will now extract the train files into the right folders for the game. As you open the self-extracting file of the R44, it will ask you where to extract the train files to. Select the "TRAIN" folder, and click install. The folder named R44 should now appear in the "TRAIN" folder. (It's not too confusing if you think about it) 4. The zip file "NYCT-A" you downloaded from bvestation.com should contain a folder called "NYCT-A". Extract it to your desktop. Once that's been done, inside the folder you will find some more self-extracting files and the sound folder that belong in the "RAILWAY" folder. 5. Inside the "RAILWAY" folder, you should have "OBJECT", "ROUTE" and "SOUND" folders. If you don't, create them, they are necessary. We will now extract the line's object, route and sound files into their appropriate folders. These files should be extracted as follows: - 8thAve file into "OBJECT" folder - A2 file into "SOUND" folder - LefShut file into "OBJECT" folder - NYCT-A file into "ROUTE" folder In the "SOUND" folder of your A line package there is a file called LefShut, extract it to your "SOUND" folder in the game folder.(BVE--> RAILWAY--> SOUND) 6. Now open the BVE application and select NYCT-A as your route, YOU CAN NOW PLAY IT. See if there are missing files, if yes, go back to the instructions and check your steps. Most likely you misplaced a self-extracting file. Downloading and setting up openBVE Refer to pictures above. 1. To download openBVE for any operating system, click here. Once that's done click here for additional dependencies for Windows, OR click here for dependencies for all other operating systems. 2. Once you have downloaded the openbve_stable.zip package, open it (to open the .zip file you will need a program like WinZip or a program that opens zip files and extracts them). 3. Create a folder anywhere in your computer called openBVE. Now place all of the extracted files in the newly created folder. Inside this folder you will create two more folders called "TRAIN" and "RAILWAY". In your "RAILWAY" folder you will create three folders called "SOUND", "OBJECT" and "ROUTE". 4. If you want to download NYCT routes and trains for the game, visit http://www.bvestation.com/downloads I will be using the non-fictional line from bvestation.com as an example. I recommend you do the same for now until you get the idea of how things work! 5. You should have downloaded the A line package and the R44 train from bvestation.com. We will now extract the train files into the right folders for the game. As you open the self-extracting file of the R44, it will ask you where to extract the train files to. Select the "TRAIN" folder, and click install. The folder named R44 should now appear in the "TRAIN" folder. (It's not too confusing if you think about it) 6. Inside the "RAILWAY" folder, you should have "OBJECT", "ROUTE" and "SOUND" folders which we created earlier. We will now extract the line's object, route and sound files into their appropriate folders. These files should be extracted as follows: - 8thAve file into "OBJECT" folder - A2 file into "SOUND" folder - LefShut file into "OBJECT" folder - NYCT-A file into "ROUTE" folder In the "SOUND" folder of your A line package there is a file called LefShut, extract it to your "SOUND" folder in the game folder.(BVE--> RAILWAY--> SOUND) 7. Now open the openBVE application and select NYCT-A as your route, YOU CAN NOW PLAY IT. See if there are missing files, if yes, go back to the instructions and check your steps. Most likely you misplaced a self-extracting file. Thanks for using this tutorial. Leave your questions and comments in this thread.

  8. That's not too bad, I guess those rollsigns are somewhat heavy. The Jubilee?
  9. What do they usually charge for shipping?
  10. Actually it's not simple but IT IS possible, go on Youtube and search for the London transit museum, you will see a public simulator played on BVE that is just like a subway car, and has the controller etc... I don't know how it works, but it looked very real. And if you really wanna get into it you have a big project.
  11. The is selling stuff right now, go to this link http://mta.info/nyct/materiel/collectsales/index.html or you can always look on eBay.
  12. Where do you guys get all that stuff? :confused: :eek:
