You jammy git Mike - I used to live in the area, and even where changes have been made to suit some of the default/generic buildings it really still has the atmosphere of the routes, even now in their vastly modified electrified state. I don't actually remember the pre electrification TV and Birmingham Loop lines but the thought of being able to run the 117 on authentic Wolverhampton-Lichfield schedules is nice. And having been a regular user of the Rugeley-Birmingham line from reopening from Hednesford until my move over here I just love rattling up and down the line in both the 117 and Sprinters.

Just out of curiosity does this version link Wolvo and Stafford?

Martin,no to ukfs mate.Its the 3dtracktexture available from train-sim.com
It is about the only one i use.

Mark ,no to Wolvo - Stafford,but i believe (and i am not Don's spokesman) there are about 400 track miles in the route.

And jammy doesnt come into,some of us have just got what it takes. :D :lol: :wink:

Fantastic looking station. Really looks the part. Is it custom made for the route, or is it downloadable from somewhere?

Custom built, but if Don has no objections, I don't mind it being used anywhere else.

Wonderful stuff. Stafford to Stafford circulars via Wolverhampton and Rugeley as well!

I must admit I haven't had chance to do any activities for this route since I downloaded it but now version 2 is about to be launched I think I'll have to have a break from the paintshops and play a while...
