This puzzled me at first but and I'm told that this is in fact correct.

It is suposed to recreate a ford, rather the bridge - on the earlier beta copies, the cars travelled underwater so you can imagine I was a little alarmed :lol:

However, the answer is "no there shouldn't be a bridge".
:wink:

When I got an earlier alpha copy of the route from Chris the traffic crossing the ford was up to it's cabs in water so I raised the road to about running board depth. It is still probably a bit deep but you get the idea of a ford across the river.

I think in retrospect the car spawner could have had it's frequency dialled down to 1 car a minute.

I'd like to also point out that I think Southwold is the ONLY route ever released for MSTS where you see road traffic negotiating a ford :)

I think it is mega-cute.

BTW I've just released 'Blyth' V3 - the only change is a fix for the 'jumping rods' syndrome when setting the engine in motion. The black version will also appear shortly.

I shall update "Southwold Railway Locomotives & Rolling Stock" as well with the new version shortly. Shall I add Southwold to it as well?

It would be better if you did, so that newbies got the whole bunch rather than the older models.

Bruce,

Hang in there, I'm fixing Halesworth as well, hopefully tonight before I have to go travelling again for the rest of the week. Once that one is out you should be able to upgrade the whole pack.
