My new web site at simutrans.com

I am proud to announce that I have been provided a new site hosting at simutrans network. The site purpose will be hosting all my creations in a gallery structure, with previews and download links.

At the moment the design is mostly finished, and I am currently adding content. The site is already accessible, despite -technically speaking- it is still under construction.
You can access the site at: http://zeno.simutrans.com

Special thanks to Isaac, Timothy, VS and Vilvoh for spending some of their time on making this possible.
