A planned VR Railway: Great British Railway

Post by trainlover123 »

Hi
I'm thinking of an idea for a new VR company: The Great British Railway.

It has steam, diesel and electric stock and works on its own lines. It also runs galas and has 2 track lines at 70 mph.

So what do you guys think?

I'm using NWE and creating GBR Swallingford, a preservation line with BR and Diesel. It's top speed is 40 mph, GBR limits on the NWE are 70 mph

Nice and thoughtful of you to ask for our opinion but does it really matter what we think. If you want to do it, then do it for your own interest.
If you are thinking of a patch (presumably having had permission from the route authors) then yes it could be fun. A bit like the Nene Valley Railway on the MidEast, and if it's a preservation line then you can mix the stock up any way you wish.

My only other thought would be that the MWE is quite extensive and it might be better to create a new GBR in its own right.

Best of luck whatever you decide to do
