Are they still being created?

I think Meridiannick is working on the midland line, but I believe MML themselves have been grouching about logo usage, so it may be pre-privatisation when it's done.

I'm doing Paddignton to Banbury (well Leamington Spa Actually)

Cheers Richard

Hi Nick,

Your picture wouldn't be Eastcroft sidings by Nottingham station by any chance?

Yep, that shot doesn't really show the MSTS version very well though so I'll post a better shot soon. Eastcroft is pretty much finished trackwork wise as I head toward Nottingham Station

Hi Nick,

Looks good so far. How far have you got with MML so far?
Being my "local" main line it's certainly one I'd be interested in having amongst my routes

Hi

My route passes over yours just out of site, over the top of Nottingham station. Nick, could you e-mail me those trackplans you talked about, I hope you're not having trouble sending them over. (I've got some signalling ones from ThamesClyde)

Just a quick heads up reagrding the Midland Main Line, basically it's being built but with a "northern" feel (ie. The northern part of the route - Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby, Loughborough [Maybe link to janis15 at Loughborough to extend to Leicester

]). I won't make any progress posts unless wanted or I think is needed, I shalll post a map and then you shall just have to keep your eyes peeled!

Ok, now Just to inform everyone on whats being made heres a map (an modification to the Network Rail map ).

Progress is going OK, and all being well I'll deleiver a few "double take" shots of the stations, depots etc.
