I really hate those depot buildings they use. There's one at littlehampton, West Worthing, Clapham and I assume they're in new route as well.

On the plus side, the depth of scenery has increased.

Nice, keep 'em coming as they say.

Btw, is Arundel Castle in it? After all, it's VERY visible landmark...

I dont think very much of this new route. Yes they've included whats probably an EuropeanBahn Record of track and scenery, but for me, what lets it down is the trains themselves.

I prefer the original L2B Trains. I dont mean this offensively but the new 319 looks erm... Rather Squarish, the 377 doesn't look as crisp and fluent as the old L2B one and the 171 one looks dark and used without being used. Ie No dirt or weathering. If you look at http://uffish.net/images/railfest/railf ... ges/15.jpg you can see what I mean about dark colours.

Overall I dont think I will buy this route.

i know what you mean richard. athough the 377 is quite an inprovment on the L2B model IMO. the texture are much better and the model is more accurate.

I have lived all my life in either Worthing, Littlehampton or Bognor and the Littlehampton screenies look nothing like the real thing. I too won't be buying this route.

Some good screens. The reason I'm not buying it is for now is because I need to save up money and gigabytes for the excellent MT Great Eastern.

Nice screenshots Carl

I too received and installed this add-on this morning, overall I'd say I'm happy. IMO the best features are the sounds, which I think are EB's strong point. My main gripe would be the track texture.
