Hi a214sli?

A much better phrase.
I should have listened in English.
Good luck

Have to say that it looks mighty fine
I don't envy you the job of replacing it all though Mark!

It is a fiddly and repetitive task, more so with matching the masts to the wire than the actual wiring itself.

I don't really see it as improving the route as much as overcoming the limitations of the default MSTS wiring.
Hopefully OR will eventually put in a better wiring system.
I will post some more pictures when I have completed some more points of interest.
Many thanks to Niall for allowing me to do this

Hi all,
Just to say I decided to go with route extension idea and added a few miles. Not too many though!
Because of a family emergency there will be no work on the route for a little while but I really hope if things improve I can start in a month or so.
I'll post pics when I get started. If I ever get time, I will try and add a little more scenery on the southern half, but make no promises.

While I've got a few minutes, below are the stations I hope will be in V4. Only seven stations but that'll be enough to keep me occupied for a long time.
When work starts for proper, I'll begin a V4 thread on the forums.

Charing Cross (Glasgow)
Glasgow Queen Street Low Level
High Street (Glasgow)
Bellgrove
Alexandra Parade

Ooops! I meant Duke Street, not Alexandra Parade. Good spot! Mind is elsewhere at the moment.
