    Hi All,

    Anyone know where files that were hosted on UKTS if any were preserved for access?

    In particular I'm trying to find the East Somerset Railway from Meshtools, and the 'Isle of wight network' (I think it's IOW_Network ?) as they are a requirement for the WSR super detail on Steam Sounds - I've managed to track down pretty much everything else but these two elude me - any kind soul out there able to help out?

    Thanks

    All removed unless the authors who own the files uploaded them elsewhere.

    Some files are also over at Trainsim dot com though when I tried to grab one a few days ago the link didn’t work.

    So there's no complete archive, and everything's scattered over the net now?

    Shame Matt didn't set up the FTP as he had proposed to, would have taken a few hours to download the whole site to store it on an external USB drive then.

    Maybe DTG should make a pinned thread on this because questions will be asked again and again.

    I am not sure if everything is scattered every where !.
    I have downloaded the majority of the TSC files that was on the UKTS site prior to it closing, and have them on a backup disk. I also downloaded the UKTS file list spread sheet to help look for a specific file number.
    Having said that I think the majority of the files are obtainable on either
    https://archive.org/details/@eldomtom2?tab=uploads
    or https://www.trainsim.com/

    What I have noticed is that some of the files that were on UKTS were not "zipped" but just exc files. I don't think these file made it to either the trainsim.com site or the eldomtom2 archive site for some reason. Maybe firewalls ?
