If you like the look of the ChrisTrains products and have a need to use them in a non-MSTS application, you can either visit my freelance page for more info, or click over to Turbosquid and buy select version of my trains for a flat fee with instant download.
October 20th : Euro Loco Pack no more.My Euro Loco Pack is no longer for sale. Whilst this might seem like a bad thing, it's actually good news for MSTS fans - JustTrains have agreed to let me update some of the models and re-release them free. Expect to see the Eurostar 2.0, the new NS2200, the IRM Regiorunner and some new goods vehicles in the next couple of weeks! | |

I was contacted today by one of the larger internet advertising companies who decided that my page was quite popular and that they wanted to put popup ads on it. I detest popup ads, and I detest the people who insist on using them. The Google ads on my page are simple, don't get in the way, and are basically the way I pay for the bandwidth and hosting. Rest assured I sent this company on their way - I don't want popup advertising on ChrisTrains.
I've added a new section to the site with desktop wallpapers available for download. As more images come in, the selection will expand. For the true Dutch train simulator fan.
The news is now out that Microsoft have officially killed the second Train Simulator product. MSTS2 is no more. ChrisTrains will continue to develop for MSTS 1.
The freeware Eurostar is undergoing some intensive remodelling and changes exclusively for an upcoming release by Europeanbahn .
Work has restarted on the long-awaited cabview for the DD-AR / mDDM, and after that, I'm ramping up to Superscale the Plan U/V/T trainset. 2004 will be a good year.
ChrisTrains is working with the Stationsgebied Utrecht project to help visualise the newly modernised station which is being built in Utrecht, in the Netherlands. You can see more details at the project website at http://www.3idee.nl/.
Because it's taking me so long to find the time to complete the DD-AR, I've released a 0.5 version with no passenger or cabviews. You can find details and downloads on the 'current trains' page.
