Knowing Aaron, he'd probably want as much of Brum as possible, so probably, as a guess, Via Brum Int.

Update 16th May:
I have some track plans of the birmingham international area and down to coventry, just waiting for the wonderfull new street pictures and plans, once i have these i will start track laying. If anyone has pictures of the track on the leamington spa diverision from the mainline just leaving new street they would be greatly apprichiated. After the bank holiday i will set a date to when i hope to get everything done.

Cheers,
Aaron

bad idea, cos if you miss it, everyone on the forums will come round your house and smash your pc.....

For your own sanity, just start making the route, and post updates when you want to show something off. From the ten commandments of route building,
1] NEVER set a completion date, and tell anyone what it is.

Look forward to your efforts

Must be the same list a the top 10 rules of stock building too !

Also, add to that
11. Build only what you are interested in personally [1].
Don't build something just because someone else wants it. Because at the end of the day a lot of people are not actually very greatfull, and don't really care how much of your free time you might have given up to build something they want.

I took this line a long time ago after learning the hard way. Its just as valid for route building as stock.

[1] Unless there is money changing hands !
