Sounds good mate! It's looks like it could be quite fun to drive!

If I can find it, I'll upload a map of my Hereford to London Paddington route. Unless everyone knows the route, in which case I won't bother. Work on the trackwork on my route should start soon (it should have started by now, but then I am awaiting parts. I actually got one ordered today, even if it is a . 8MB graphics card, it'll get me started anyway)!

Let us know how you do with this route!

I agree with LucaZone, I can't wait to see who gets what done first! Updates from both parties will be eagerly awaited!

As Ive always said, the more routes the merrier!

Will be interesting to see how different modellers model the same pieces of route.

Correction 3!

The one started ages ago set in the 80's, TrainSimminNick's (Which as we all know is for MSTS2! hehehe) and mine. I just thought why not give it a go? So i am!

Thanks for the support guys- Sheffiend is far off yet, but it will be interesting yes.

Here's a stupid question:

Where are you so far? Are you starting in Sheffield? Or have you done loads more already?

I get the feeling the end result will be very very similar......

wait a sec. seems quite silly here that people are welcoming the competition and yet not to long ago everyone was up in arms about the potential waste of time and unfairness if 2 projects work on the same route.

confusion.

Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition...

Sounds a bit like the old game of Railway Rivals, this race to build to Sheffield.

If two people are looking to build the same lines, I don't see why they shouldn't both work on one, single, release instead of two separate routes.

Time for TSN Comments :

Pete sound great

Is this for MSTS 1, if so there will be NO direct competition !

Mine will go to Notts then connect up the Robin Hood to MidEast UK's Worksop station !

His goes to Sheffield mine stops in Nottingham [though a link to sheffield would be a great idea !]

I can't too much but good luck Peter and you say its offical explain...

Mine won't even start until MSTS 2 is out and I have it so this looks like agood route all the best if you want help just ask ! [Doesn't this remind you of MidEast Uk Vs. GNER Eastcoast ?]

And great map !, you draw that yourself ?
