'''V4 Trans-Region Trains Now Available'''


The self-serve update center is now open. You can take your old engine and wagons to it and automatically get them updated to the new technology V3 version.
With the improvement of region border crossing in Second Life it is now practical to have a train with riders travel from one region to another. The V4 series of narrow gage engines, carriages and wagons is now available at the Kitto Flora Engineering store in Yeodeol.
Yule Engines are an exception, not all versions have been created in V3 yet. Contact Kitto Flora if you need a Yule train updated quickly.

'''New Train Demo'''
For 7 months I have been working on a complete re-design of the 'toy' steam train system, re-
writing the scripts from scratch to use new non-physical and *smooth* motion, new and better
track navigation system and a lot of improvements made possible by recently added LSL
functions. You can now try the new train at Yeodeol <181,206,47>. Comments and questions are
welcome.

'''Wengen Railcar Line'''


Ride the new Wengen to Smithers Bluff Railcar line while you can. I built the Wengen to Okemo Gorge section, sponsored by Sejong Linden who has a great vision for SL. It connects to the ONSR railcar line that runs from Okemo Gorge down to Smithers Bluff. This is likely the only long-line rail service operational in SL at present.  
The development of the V4 series has been long and tedious, requiring changes to methods used by the older V3 single region trains, track switches and signals for compatibility with the V4 Series. V4 and V3 trains will run on the same tracks, but V4 engines will only couple with V4 carriages and wagons, V3 engines only with V3 carriages and wagons.


The future of the Wengen to Okemo Gorge section is in doubt now, due to Linden Lab politics.
Free updates for engine rezzers, carriages, wagons and affected track parts are available at the self-serve update center in Yeodeol.
