The most immediate thing is a short rest!
Then it's in to TS Modeller and try and bring the Far North route up to mid-2003 standards rather than early 2002.
After that, I've a couple of smaller branch line projects to look at. The Northern Line is effectively dead at present due to a proliferation of Send/Don't Send errors. I'll keep the track plan on ice in the event it can be revived at a later stage. In the meantime, I was thinking maybe Ryde to Shanklin which would give Richard's tube stock a sort of home, also a nice easy route to cut my teeth on with TS Tools. However at present I'm unable to track down a gradient profile.
I also haven't forgotten the West Highland or Rosslare to Waterford but I want some firm information on MTS 2 before launching into any major (i.e. 40 mile plus) new routes or extensions.

Having had the privilege to run a beta copy of the route, you're going to love this. Vern's really captured the rolling middle English countryside perfectly.
It really gives you a good feel of what travelling on the SMJ was like, even 40 years after it was closed. Very nice, a piece of history modelled.

Hi Vern
Ryde-Shanklin would be brilliant.
If you need to try and track down some info try posting and loooking here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/railwaysinthewight/
Also. the book 'Portrait of the Isle of Wight Railways' by Handel Kardas is a good resource as well.
And if all this fails try emailing the IoW Steam Railway (havenstreet@iwsteamrailway.co.uk), i'm sure they'll give you a load of info.
