Scotland's going pretty good at the moment

Freeware , Payware ?

Do you not think that the title of "South of Scotland" rather implies that it's, er, not Scotland?

It says West of Scotland now... so I guess it's either Ireland or Canada

[bigvern]

Freeware or payware, Keith's work will be well worth supporting.

West of Scotland, hmm... doesn't look like the Mallaig line , non-electrified, double track - I would hazard a guess and say he is extending the GSW north towards Kilmarnock and maybe Glasgow.

We really do need a utility or some other means of merging all these adjacent Scottish routes into one glorious organism!

[Tankski]

Has anyone noticed this is on what seems to be, The Port Road's trackbed? places like the start look terribly similar to Dumfries.

[msey0002]

Yep . Well, Keith always wanted to extend his Port Road to Stranraer, maybe he's doing the GSWL Dumfries -Kilmarnock or Stranraer

[Darpor]

He has confirmed it over on YT, its an infill between the two existing routes which I guess would be Port Road and WCML.

[msey0002]

Makes sense then: Dumfries - Annan - Gretna Green

[TractorBasher]

The dfference is, this seems to be set in the present day. Only 2 tracks through Dumfries, no centre road. To the north, the line to Castle Douglas is a single track, presumably just the remnants of the stub to Maxwelltown.

[msey0002]

WCML is set in the present day, so must be tough to find a compromise. In fairness, I don't think Dumfries - Gretna has changed much since 1965 when the Port Road closed

[TractorBasher]

I think it will work well in the modern setting. I wonder how it will work at the southern end. Will it stop at Gretna, or continue to Carlisle with a duplicate of that section from WCML North?

[msey0002]

Keith said on YouTube that it will be freeware, so I doubt it will continue down to Carlisle due to the required assets

[phat2003uk]

Sounds excellent though I do echo Vern's view that route merging should be a future aspiration for RailWorks.
