West Highland Line

Here are a few more screenshots form my WIP West Highland Line route at Arrochar & Tarbet on the morning with the sleeper passing the 156 on the commuter run to Glasgow on a rainy and dark morning... Note the almost working RETB thanks goes to Rich Sulzmann for creating it... http://www.jandmlphotos...

WHL - All single track, low speed typically 40mph (much of it is only 20mph for 67s), low RA (RA4?). It's RA6 which is why 47s never worked it regularly being RA7 locomotives. http://www.networkrail.co.uk/documents/3150_2004BusinessPlanNetworkCapability.pdf I doubt things have changed much. That ma...

Hi Jonathan Obviously I'd vote yes.....cause I'd love to thrash pairs of fifies over it. :P Anyone else?? Cheers Jon Well the scenery is pretty incomplete in areas (well around 90% of the route :lol: ) and I don't really have the time to finish it at the moment but I think the Shap area itself was ...

Well the Shap route (Crewe-Carlisle) became part of BarryMc-someones WCML and was merged successfully. Whatever happened to his Modern Day WCML I don't know not heard from him in what seems like years... Hi Jonathan Oh thats a pity....I think that route vanished a while back. I don't know.....but t...

The route is the 'West HIGHLAND Line' not a route of the North Clyde Electric units :lol: . Anyway I think its best to get Helensburgh-Fort William done first before I make the project even bigger... Hi Jonathan I would agree, the bigger the route the harder it is to complete. May I ask, what happe...

Why stop at Helensburgh - you miss the best bit! As Helensburgh-Glasgow is boring :lol: In-fact I did place markers until Cardross but having a half electric route will be stupid (as MSTS does not really support it) so Helensburgh will probably be the southern end... Why would it be Boring it was s...

The route shown is a work in progress, and I like the fact it uses UKFS (no offence Vern), and I think that the default track is horrid, and spoils Verns route abit :( And are you planning to release it on UKTS, as it would go nicely along side Highland Mainline & Scottish Central :P :wink: Well I ...

Looks good, but its been done? David As I understand it the route done is some kind of commercial thing and only goes to Crianlarich (and goes to Mallaig) but this is planned to go all the way to Helensburgh Upper... and this also uses DEMed Terrain and Distant Mountains (and I'm no sure any UK rou...

There ARE valid reasons to avoid photography at certain times and at certain places. For example, using Flash photography on stations is normally banned - using it at a driver's eyes may lead him to missing a signal etc, and is therefore banned - perfectly reasonable I am sure you will agree. Plus,...
