OK, so I'll only put a booster in every third gap, with normal track in the other two.

 

As for the nether track, it'd feel like cheating, and I'd have to destroy all I've just put together!

Well you don't have to, you could have both. I prefer the normal rail network so do carry on with yours, I'm never in a huge rush to get around so like to travel on the Teh Rail Network

What Ant said - some people like nether transport, other people like sightseeing.

If I'm in a hurry I'm generally not going to be playing Minecraft - I do that to relax. :P

1. Make a nether gate in the real world and go through to the nether.

I did that for him days ago

2. Destroy the nether gate in the nether (unless you came through to someone else's gate, in which case go to step 3)

I did that for him days ago

3. Make a nether gate in the nether at exactly the equivalent place to your real-world one (i.e. divide the co-ords of the real world one by 8 (except for Y, it can be anywhere in the Y) (this step ensures that your gate will not be twinned with any others)

I did that for him days ago

4. Link up to the nether rail system!

Yeah, I was going to add that bit too. I went to the nether after you kindly created my gate (I've got the Obsidian now, if you want it back?), but couldn't see any other gate neaby to connect it to, or to go through.

follow the path

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKING NETHER. Was trying to make myself a portal and stepped onto a bit of air that I /swear/ had netherrack under it a moment before. Lost two full sets of diamond tools, a stack and a bit of glowstone and half a stack of obsidian. :@ :(( :@

/back

/lava :'-(

Just back at the spawn - I noticed we're out of gunpowder, beds and maps...

there is some gunpowder, beds, maps, slime, bones & obsidian now

not much of each though

I'll go have a look next time I'm on. Was working on my observation dome and track.

My track has finally got to the main area, but I don't want to invade other people's space (assuming I haven't already). Could someone either link it up, or give me some indication of where it should link to please?

wow, and I thought my track was stunningly long
I'd join that to the corner of the existing line
then badger Kev 'till he wires in a junction

Does anyone here have a static IP? I was thinking of replacing the web IPs with peoples names if some have static IPs.

I do, my IP has been the same since 2002

212.159.x.x?

yes, that's always me :)

Radio's line is connected into the main system now (thanks to Kev)

Where's it go to/from?

(scribble on the map if necessary :Y )
