Thanks
Preston-Manchester is not under wires so it will look a bit stupid with wires above the track. I may include it is I discover a method to stop wires appearing in certain places.

Lancaster and Preston to Manchester is in NWE2, though, if you want that route.

See this topic - a possible solution, but it's harder work but you do end up being able to have some areas of your route non-electrified and some with realistic looking overhead wires: http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic.php?t=29499

I think this method works by editing the .w file

for example change:
trackobj (
filename ( a1t10mstr.s )
...

to :

static (
filename ( a1t10mstr.s )

I have not yet tested it out I just read it a while ago on http://www.train-sim.com

MODERATOR'S NOTE

This thread is now well into route building territory and has been moved in line with the ELR thread.

I'm assuming it's freeware otherwise I've put it in the wrong forum

Thank you,

John

Have you thought of doing Carnforth to Barrow, or at least part of the way? It's a very scenic route to at least Ulverston.

I'm a student in Lancaster and I had a ride the other week. Going across the estuary at Arnside is particularly fun.

It may be a future extension

How is this route coming along.

I can now drive from London to Warrington on the Mersey route, hand over to a NWE crew to take me to Lancaster. And there is a train waiting at Carlisle to take me home to Glasgow.

This route is now at the top of my waiting list and the short bit I have from Oxenholm to Penrith looked good.

I was away last week and have been busy with other stuff lately but I should be able to get back to work on the route soon. I still have Warrington Yard to place and track now ends at the south end of Warrington station. I have also started places roads etc around Canforth. I still need to finish of track in what was steam-town then all track north of Warrington will be complete. I will try and post some more screenshots in the next few days.
