WOW...
When is it available for Ordering.!
I like the pickering shot. *I think I've got a picture from the steam days which is sat in almost the exact same position.
and it just about looks the same. barring the presence of some wagons in the siding in the pictures.

It will be soon after tsection 26 is released which is due this month, hopefully within a month of the release of that file. The route requires several of the new UKFS short slips which effectively allow back to back slips. The present slips suffer the back to back point problem (when used back to back!)
Once the trackwork has been updated for these, final testing including updating existing activities to the updated tdb and several new activities will be created. In the meantime scenery additions and route extensions are ongoing.

Here's the Pacer standing in Scarborough, Thanks to Ben Laws (SteelixB) for modifying the destination blinds to glow in the dark, They are also interchangeable by renaming the Destination ace.file Maybe the destination should be York because in the 1990's the coastal route to Whitby would be a bumpy ride even by Pacer standards
