Thanks for that. I'll give that a try next time I need to. I still find the whole track-laying side of things a bit scary, to be honest! It always works in the end, but I'm never sure it's going to until it does!!

Back to my humble route... I decided that actually Radcliffe had never looked anything like my previous screenshot, so I re-did quite a bit of the surrounding area which I hope is slightly more accurate:

Hi, I never seem to be able to post screenshots properly. :oops:

My route is pretty-much finished now, and at just over 10 miles long I'm happy that I've achieved what I set out to do.

(If anyone is able to view these!) I've now managed to get my simple scenario working and this shot shows my first ever AI train heading through Stathern junction:


Final shot is another of Saxondale Junction heading towards Radcliffe:


Cheers

Thanks

I'll have to package the route as it is seeing as I've effectively run out of time - I won't get to my PC before 7pm tonight - but I'll have a look at sorting them out after the official upload has taken place. There's a couple of other bits that would be nice to fix, but given the extremely tight timescale to put the route together I've simply not had the time.

@Keith - when I look at your stunning work I kind-of wonder what I've been doing for the last week! I am humbled, but one tries one's best.

Cheers

Bob
