[Dexter]

Hello everyone,

please take a minute or two to read through these forum rules. We hope that complying with these rules will make BVE WorldWide a good place for discussions and meeting with other people, who are also interested in this railway simulation game. Try to be nice even if it might be difficult at times; if you don't have anything nice or at least reasonable to say, simply stay quiet.
