UKBL

UKBL (UK Branch Lines) was the original site for Thomas Trainz content. It was opened in 2004 by Magandy, his website was shut down in mid 2012 after it became too expensive to operate. In late 2013 they moved to Jimdo, and the original sites second-in-command, Cmburgess became the new leader, a little over a year later the website was shut down for good after he decided to pursue other interests.

MSTNoodle sent his models to UKBL for distribution, these were released starting in late 2004. While he made most of the steam engines other members of the site made routes, objects, rolling stock, and diesel engine's. During the time MSTNoodle's models were on the site they received several updates, they were upgraded to work in TRS2004 and TRS2006, added moving eyes to Thomas and Percy, and changed the colors and faces of the engines from how they looked in the late 1990's PC games, to the ones from the TV Series.

In mid-2008 he had requested that his models be removed from the website, this was because his models were reskinned frequently and he was rarely credited. However models that weren't made by him would remain up, and MSTNoodle's models also remained up for another month until some of the replacement models were ready for release.

UKBL started their own range to fill the gap left by all of his models, and changed all of the textures to .texture files so that they would be harder to reskin. By the end of the year Magandy managed to reach an agreement to have the original models re-released with improved textures, and changeable faces among other changes. Despite these plans all models were removed for the final time in early 2009 because of continued harassment since MSTNoodle's models were first removed.

Trivia

 * Even though UKBL's Thomas content was discontinued some models are still available at the Trainz Download Station, and Si3D's Jimdo website. The Wayback Machine has the bulk of the original Ultimate Train Collection content archived, and it can still be downloaded. Some of the other models such as Thomas and Edward were reuploaded on the new UKBL website ran by Chris Burgess (cmburgess)
