Do I have any volunteers to do station name boards please.

Also can anyone help, I have about 40 stations with no buildings??

Thanks
Don

Don,

Do you have drawings and/or pictures of the 'missing' buildings?

Charles, a portion of the readme file reads:
"The route extends to Oakamoor on the Churnet valley line, as far as Ashbourne and along the North staffordshire
line to Leigh. Part of the line from Uttoxeter to Stafford is included as far as.Grindley.
South of Burton the branch to Leicester goes as far as Ashby with a line to Measham, and the main line runs as far as Alrewas on the South Staffs and Elford on the Tamworth spur.
In the north the line runs to Belper and east to Attenborough and Long Eaton ,I've tried to include as much of the Derby works
as possible and the large complex known as Chaddesden sidings.
The branch line to Wirksworth is included but modified to enable msts to work better."

as I live near that line I'm quite intrested. Glad its going to Long Eaton along my local line. Good modern day activity making oppatunity's using Midland Mainline, Virgin, Central Trains. The posability's are endless.

Sorry for wrong spelling.

The route is set in the late 50's early 60's, so modern day acts wouldnt be very appropriate, because of semaphore signaling etc. Dosn't mean you carn't do any though if you don't mind them being out of place

Don't forget that there are about 3 million modern day routes involving the midlands in the making.

So long as I can run green, split headcode peaks on something then i'm happy

Looks nice. Although I am not a fan of Steam, I do think your route looks nice
