1984-1995 Ashley Greenup/Dee-Kay Systems
Platforms: BBC Micro, C64, ZX Spectrum and Amiga
It is thanks to Ivan S that it has come to light that a series of Train games created by Ashley Greenup/Dee-Kay Systems are currently missing and not yet preserved. Many of the ones preserved you can find on the likes of CPC-Power, Gamebase64 and Hall of Light.
In February 2024 – all the Amiga titles that were missing were found and recovered thanks to Belgarath from the EAB forums. Thanks to Ivan S for flagging this up and passing on the files.
However, all of the following are currently missing:
Commodore 64:
ZX Spectrum:
- Locodriver 10
- Locodriver 12
- Locodriver 13
- Paddington to Exeter
- RTC New Street
- RTC Reading – There is a game with the same name at this other page on Spectrum Computing, but it might be a game by two different publishers. Not 100% sure yet.
Commodore Amiga:
Derby Powerbox(FOUND! – Download here)John Peel Crewe To Carlisle Driver Simulation(FOUND! – Download here)Leicester Powerbox(FOUND! – Download here)Stafford Powerbox(FOUND! – Download here)
If you are able to help preserve any of these titles – please do let us know. With thanks to Ivan S for flagging up, Hoschi and Mpk for finding the entry for RTC Reading on the ZX Spectrum and Belgarath for recovering all the missing Amiga versions.
Belgarath from eab forums just uploaded the missing 4 Amiga simulations:

He said he is okay for his dumps to be posted on this article.
There might be much more titles for the Amiga not detected.
That’s great news! Sadly I don’t have access to the zone, but will try and add them once available or link to any page where they are present.
I think u were looking for a different one:

Ah – so were there two different titles by two different publishers?
maybe the same title by 2 differerent publishers:

I’ll add a note regarding that – its a good point!
Seems that they had a website that years ago that was eventually closed in ~2010
https://web.archive.org/web/20020806185921/http://www.traingames.freeservers.com/HOMEPAGE.HTM
There is a (probably non-functioning) e-mail adress on the website.
That’s a shame – looks like they managed to keep going for quite some time though!
RTC Reading seems to be available here:

Ah thanks Mpk! Looks like we missed that one, i’ll update quickly!
