I was born in Seven Kings, just a few hundred yards from the station, so GE suits that, but I moved to 'outer' Ilford and Woodford Green on the Central Line of London Underground, and that hasn't been modelled (to my knowledge) - though I'm toying with the idea of trying to build a semi-fictional GER in GER days, which would include both.
In the mid seventies I moved to Nottingham, so B-D2 suits that nicely, although I believe Midland Mainline will eventually get there as well.
In 1996 I moved to New Hampshire - which doesn't really have much of a railway at all any more, save a commuter line as part of the Boston MBTA to Portland, Maine. It's not popular enough to model, I fear
In 2002 I moved again to Michigan, near Detroit - which has a lot of cross-border freight with Canada, but as far as passenger traffic goes, is on a branch from Toledo, Ohio to Pontiac. Definitely not modelled.

Now I'm within walking distance of Basingstoke station, so DC in its various guises, along with the commercial South Western route, provide me with plenty of trains...

My local route is the Fife Circle and so is available on Scottish Central. However I live in Cowdenbeath and so on MSTS it looks like a blasted wasteland................oh wait, thats IS Cowdenbeath anyway

The station I normally use though Is Inverkeithing, thats where I grew up and so I know it well. Its changed quite a bit since I used it as a commuter station when I was younger. Even the footbridge has been moved. However I can tell anyone whos not been that the rendering on the sceneried part route is very well rendered. Inverkiething station is perfect as is the Forth bridge

Mine is Dumbarton Central which is part of the North Glasgow route, but unfortunately it is not sceneried and dated route. Even did the two activities that I uploaded last year, but only 70 downloads were counted. :(

Although you'd need permission from the author to amend the route for public use, why not scenerise the area for your own use? You can build trains, so I am sure a few buildings would be no problem! :wink:

Dumbarton Central is a lovely station, would love to see it in MSTS.

Your stated location under your Avtar is Bangor? Bangor is part of http://www.d8233.org.uk/msts_nwc.htm is it not?

Indeed an extension of MT's LSE to include Folkestone and all tracks North (in Kent that is :lol: ) would be a great route! Loads of history and the route of the Golden Arrow and the Orient Express.

My hometown (village) is covered by Dorset Coast V6.

My current residence isn't on MSTS, but is on RailSimulator.

Hi, I live in the North East of England. I feel that we lack routes in this area of the country. Nearest would probably be ECE at York.

One of the areas that I'm surprised hasn't been looked at is "The Valleys" of South Wales. Not now, but back in the day when the pits were all working and steel mills and docks made this area a huge industrial complex. GWR actually made some unique freight loco's specifically to haul heavy coal (and ore?) trains up the steep inclines of what's also a very interesting region geographically.
