Just to put my oar in. The IOW route has new tracks, which look much better than the original ones did. Will you be using the default rails or or you going to be using a new and impoved set of rails?

Yes the 37 starts next week.
:)

I have not made my mind up about the track.
Personally i'd rather have a better 'vista' looking up the valley than 3d sleepers.

I'll make that call later in the day though.

Hi, I guess the main route to Wearhead is around 35 mile long including track going out to each of the stations (Hunwick, Coundon, Shildon tunnel and Evenwood)

There should be some content fixes released tomorrow.
Probably only the mk2 coaches, the profile was not correct and we were keen to bring ours in line with DT's coaches.

regards

Derek

Hi,
(the side elevation cross section)
the hight was wrong by about 10 cms and the angle of the sloping sides was too shallow which gave the coach a 'box like' look.
Also there are some texture changes to it.

Hi Derek

Looking forward to this route. With the dynamic duo in charge it should be really good.

Don't forget that if you need any tips on route building, scenery, rolling stock, etc, we are here to help. :D

:) I need all the help I can get!
Thank you for the kind words, nice to hear every now and again.

Adam is a star, he is meant to be on holiday!

I'm a happy man, was just flicking through my bedtime reading, ' A Pictorial Record of LNER Constituent Signalling' when I came across a picture of Bishop Auckland's North signal box. Up until now I had one rubbish image. From this new image I can make it without having to guess too much, happy days

The 101 is amongst the locos as is the 37, there will be steam (still fighting over which one) and something for our NA cousins.
Thats as much as I want to say on the matter, but there should be something for everyone.

regards
