Whats new? a chronological guide to BRDW updates

9th Mar 2010

D9531.com updated and BRDW status update First of all the website for Class 14, D9531, has been updated as the restoration project is now back on track. Reports from workgroups will be posted there and the site has been brought up to date. Have a look at www.d9531.com The BRDW site has remained unchanged although I have been doing a few small bits of housekeeping. It is likely that some of the now old 'new' stuff from late 2006 & early 2007 onwards will be uploaded hopefully later in the year although I can't be any more specific than that I'm afraid. I'll do my best though. I have now got a new mailing list facility set up, so if you'd like to to join please go to the mail page or click here Do you use Microsoft Train Simulator? the ELR route and Hydraulics add-ons are still available along with the brand new 'Peak-Power' and Class 15 add-ons (via D8233.org.uk) Click here for details.

Hosting difficulties etc Regular visitors to the site will have noticed nothing has happened for quite some time. The problems began following a hacker attack on the previous hosting company's servers, this lead them to reset everyone's passwords. I had been trying to contact Steve Jones, who had been looking after the webspace, for some time before this outage, but following it I was locked out of the FTP server and couldn't make contact to solve the problem. Regaining access to the brdw domain and getting new hosting has been a complete nightmare and has cost a few quid along the way too but after 2½+ years without access I've now succeeded in releasing the domain name and re-establishing it elsewhere on the net (the address remains the same - www.brdw.co.uk) I'd like to thank Steve Jones for his help in running the site upto 2006. If anyone reading knows Steve (from Telford, not his CFPS namesake) then please pass on my thanks and best wishes. Personally I've not had the best couple of years and as a result I've not been out and about gathering thrash quite as much. This is likely to remain the case for a while but there is quite a bit of new stuff to get through from late 2006 upto date. It'll be a while before anything new is loaded and there are some areas of the site that need sorting out following the transfer but at least the site is back online again. If you notice any broken links or anything please send an email to let me know. As a temporary measure please use the address tpo at brdw dot co dot uk. Andy Slater BRDW
