Due to the ever-increasing amount of spam (I'm currently receiving over 150 junk emails per day) I have set quite robust "kill filters" to delete some/most (hopefully) junk mail. To ensure that your email message gets through to me, please place the following in the Subject line of your email

[MSTS]

I have set "watch" filters at a high level for emails containing this text in the subject line and they will be placed into a special folder in my inbox for my prompt attention.
 

.....If you're planning to email me:

1. Emails should be polite and respectful;
2. Emails MUST be plain text only - HTML emails will be deleted;
3. Emails containing unsolicited attachments will be deleted without opening (the one exception is a JPG image - please place the name and size of image within the text of message to verify the attachment);
4. Emails should contain your real name - nicks or handles are unacceptable;
5. I welcome advice on errors or omissions on my website;
6. Emails asking when such-and-such a model will be released or "is someone going to do this model/livery/road number" WILL BE IGNORED AND DELETED without reply;

.....if you'd like to submit a model/tutorial to be hosted on this site:

1. Freeware models and tutorials are welcome on this site;
2. Don't send unsolicited models: please email me first for advice on forwarding items;
3. Models should be of genuine Australian prototype of any era, past or present, any roadname/railway company/livery;
4. Tutorials are best submitted in Word format with the images separate all wrapped up in a ZIP file: I will convert it to a steam4me format HTML page;
5. Models will be inspected and tested before release; I write the installers that package each model;
6. Be aware that there may a delay of weeks/months before release of a model: there are over 50 models in the queue at the moment and there is only so much time I can devote to MSTS;
7. team-ALCO members are happy to assist you with finishing your model: we are skilled in ENG/WAG file construction, texturing and even model construction.
8. team-ALCO members may provide input into the physics, image, and sound aspects of your model to enhance its quality and protoypical performance: we do know what we are doing and really do not wish to engage in long, philosophical debates over particular setting in ENG, WAG or SMS files;
9. No model will be released on this site until both you and I are happy with it: before release, either party reserves the right to withdraw/refuse any given model without notice or providing a reason;
10. Models already hosted elsewhere have a low priority in preparation for hosting on this site;
11. Pirates of unreleased models and hackers of this site (fortunately there are only a very few people in these categories) will never have their models (whether built or contributed to) hosted on this site.
