Yes, it is .

However, as the route is set in 1920, I was not able to find any suitable period vehicles as most available are from the 30's/40's/50's - so for this route I have left the carspawner as simply, the Default car and van. Hopefully I may be able to find some suitable 1920 era vehicles from other sources for the Huddersfield and Environs route that is under construction.

Hi David,
Have you looked at the Highworth Branch route - there are cars, vans and lorries, which might fill the bill :)

Cheers,

Hi Ged,

I don't know if there are any suitable period vehicles in Highworth, I haven't checked, I don't have Highworth. The way I see it is, I don't want to have any of my route users have to download an entire 'foreign' route just to get a handful of vehicles - then there is also the problem of permissions from the original vehicle builders. It is much cleaner just to get a 'standard' UKTS download containing freeware vehicles and add them to the route during the building phase, with the normal acknowledgement of their origin.
