Cheers
Charles

Uploaded pending approval.
Can I just say a big thank you to all have contributed scenery, stock, advice, photos and local knowledge. And a special vote of thanks go to Kieran, Geoff and Mike who did a stirling job with beta testing and provided many useful comments and feed back.
Various scenery items from the route are being uploaded for other route builders to uses and a stock and activity pack should appear sometime with perhaps a dozen or so acts.

Magic words indeed!

So what have you got planned next Charles?
Seriously, well done. From the screenshots the route looks great and I look forward to trying it for real.

Well, there's the activity pack to finish, but then I think I'm retiring from route building. Although, I might be persuaded to help out other folk with their own projects.

Hi Charles,
Thank you for this route - it has a great 'feel' about it.

I have completed the supplied activity and there appear to be plenty of opportunities for activity writers (unfortunately, I am not one!). Bedford Midland station looks very good, and I was pleased to see the 'blimp' sheds at Cardington - I remember seeing them when travelling from Derby to St Pancras on the Midland mainline.
There is only one comment I would make, and I hope it's not taken as 'nit-picking', but there is no 'Right-Away' signal for departing a station. Of course, it is easily corrected by adding an appropriate "Discrete_Trigger ( 60 ...... )" line into the ingame.sms file, in the route's SOUND folder.
Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged and Malcom,
Ged:
I have completed the supplied act. As you have. You did not mention this. So this may be my system only.
I have a giant Signal Lens at Shefford:-
I have seen this mentioned on the forums before, but have forgoten the answers.
Charles:
You have had the route tested I know. So this may well be unique to my System. As it is a pretty big thing for a tester to miss.
Fantastic effort though. Ged put it best. It just feels right.
Good luck
Doug

Good luck
