Hi
I am new on here but quite impressed with it all.
Does anyone know if there is a Crewe/Manchester to
Llandudno/Holyhead route on offer please

Not that I know of.......

However there may be one under development somewhere.

Only N Wales Routes I know of are Cambrian, Bala Hub, Welshpool, Talyllyn and Ffestiniog, all are worth checking out though.

You can do Crewe to Holyhead in Train Driver 3 under the Amiga emulator - in fact it is the default route, but AFAIK nothing currently in production for any of the current sims.

Sounds like a nice one for you to do Vern

Maybe one day, but not a lot of spare time at present. Also as posted elsewhere, little point in starting another long route which wouldn't be ready for a few months and possibly bump heads with MTS2.

Hi Vern

As stated on several threads, and by some very well knowing and respected people, MSTS2 will go ahead, but won't with us for at least a year, so starting a 6 month route building program (or batlle perhaps ) shouldn't be much of a problem.

Oh I've been following the threads on MTS2 and know all the various permutations off by heart.

At present though I just don't think I've got the willpower and stamina to start another major project from scratch - there's enough short projects and loose ends to tie up that will keep me busy until 2005

Two - three months is the longest I really like to spend on any one project before inertia kicks in.

It sounds like an interesting route. It certainly would be interesting to see done!

As you may know I have made numerous attempts at Llandudno - Beyond before with little sucess. However when the DEM became available I decided to start this route, although I didnt really want to reveal it yet Puts me under a bit of pressure to deliver, something I am wary of as I failed at routes before.

I have got track plans, gradient plans (many thanks to Andy Dunnett), DEM and markers from Prestatyn to Abergele and Persarn (so far). The track is done between these two stations and I was just about to extend down to Flint when I noticed this!

Not really at the stage to post any screenies yet, but I will do if anyone wants me to. The route is going to be done in what spare time I have with GCSEs and various coursework projects ahead.

I'd like to see screenshots, if you have time to do them.

Previous attempt:

Llandudno, looking rather bad without DEM



Llandudno Carriage Sidings



Deganwy

Whoops, piccies wernt working. Problem solved

looking good, cant wait to get my IC and RR 31s up and down her!

Don't feel pressured into delivering a route within a couple of months. Take your time and deliver it when it's ready, otherwise the pressure will get to you and then you will do 1 of 2 things, deliver something you;re not really happy with or quit the project. My advice again, take your time and if it takes 12 months or more it don't matter.

Good luck.

Looks good, but don't rudh into release for us .......

.........do a proper job
