Yes, my job is just to lay the track. The route will then be passed over to Ben who will populate it with scenary.

Not sure yet - It depends from place to place at the end of the day :)

Cool beans,

Couple of points as I really dont want to see this fall by the wayside like so many other MSTS projects.

I wouldnt place any roads yet, I know theres a lot of level crossings, but id *really* wait until all the track and scenery is down first. Otherwise you may find a slightly screwed tdb, rdb and route in a few weeks. Likewise leave all the signals, platform, siding, crossing markers till the end as well. They create permanant entries in the .tdb flle which if you then relay any track can screw it all a bit.

Good luck

Chris

Hiya Chris,

Don't forget this isnt actually on the route - It's just a mock up around a short 250m bit of track :wink:

Thanks for the comments though both :)
