Just Had a Route Idea!

What do you guys say to this?! A modern day Norwich to Liverpool St Line, like the EB guys are doing, but in graphics like, Making Tracks? Making tracks has brilliant graphics, and the Line from Norwich to London would be a good Idea, including the Branch to Cromer and Sheringham.

This is Just a Suggestion, I am not a route maker, and my route geography creator has gone bonkers, it will not allow me to click: "add all selection tiles"

I thought it was Making Tracks who were doing that route

MakingTracks have already taken care of this area. Part one will go from Ipswich to London while later on they plan a second part that will do the Norwich to Ipswich part.

To my knowledge, EB havent got anything to do with this area.

i thought maybe someone could do a WAGN-

London Liverpool Street- Chingford as this is a fairly short branch and there is a good set of stabling sidings at Chingford.????

I really do wish people would stop posting route ideas that they are not intending to do themselves. It's. Not. Going. To. Happen. No one will volunteer to give you months of their time to build something they don't actually have the urge to do themselves!

While I agree that no one is going to commit themselves to custom building requested routes. The posers have no idea just what is involved. It is still a good idea to have a forum where route suggestions can be made. There may be somebody out there with a building itch but short on ideas.

For instance, I'd like to see a route set around Cuba and its sugar plantations. The tropical setting, odd mix of non-contemporary engines (early 1900 steam), totally different rolling stock designed to carry sugar cane, the plantations and shabby villages, etc., would be totally novel and refreshingly different. The enterprise would be quite a challenging, gratifying, and successful endeavor.

While this is a fair point in itself the above poster has neglected to realise
that
1) liverpool street to norwich/ipswich as being built is fairly modern day (80/90's)
and
2) its being built by making tracks and not EB

ironically he was requesting that it ought to be built to MT's standards,
well i'm sure that it will.
