Hehe yeah I had the train wrecker too, still not enough to keep up
with the number of trainsets though, I'm delighted about the
disabling, even if it's only temporary! If it doesn't stay removed,
I'll be getting a Lil XT i think...

Ouch. I was lucky, our server was up early and I happened to be awake
so beat the queue, amazingly, the changes appear to have worked, as
I'm able to play, without lag, despite the server being queued! Thank
goodness for that, hopefully it'll stay working and the next step will
be raising the cap again to reduce queues, won't help my realm that
much as we'd be queued regardless, but at least lower pop realms will
be better off.

Heh I don't blame you, in fairness, it's not usually anything like
this bad though, this one's just been a disaster.
