Re: The Midlands
But RSC have lots of other things to do too. Is it more or less important for them to represent stock from the Midlands, UK than to represent stock from the eastern US?

Re: The Midlands
I did start a route based on Coventry but then for no apparent reason RW crashed and I completely lost all track work and the station there but I will attempt to start it again tomorrow

I might aswell have a crack at it, although my short attention span may get the better of me!Darpor wrote:I'll put it on the ever growing list.

Re: The Midlands
Bakerboy I've got my own Midlands route based on the area I suggested, the only niggle is the lack of custom models and the gradient profile from Soho to Bescot has gone adrift somewhere and the South Staffs through Wednesbury is too steep.

Re: The Midlands
I might try and get the Snow Hill Lines built. I've learned a lot from the route I'm currently building, and if I cut out all the faffing around with this one I've done I could hopefully have it finished for the end of the year. I'm starting to learn about the joys of 3-d modelling now too, so if things go well, I might be able to give a nice home to the new 150.

Do that mate, that route is the best, how far would you take it south?gypbrc wrote:I might try and get the Snow Hill Lines built.

Colwall Tunnel to at least Tyseley. That way there is a natural turnback point at Great Malvern and the depot at Tyseley.bakerboy123 wrote:Do that mate, that route is the best, how far would you take it south?gypbrc wrote:I might try and get the Snow Hill Lines built.
