Some grubby reskins would look really good on NLLR route if you could
do them, i`ll certainly use them.

Thanks to John (Levisham) for posting about this 'unknown' route, it's certainly slipped under everyone's radar. I've downloaded it and it looks like a little gem, even though it's not fully finished yet, but, I can certainly place a few personal scenery items and make it very playable, the Rail Blue diesel era ran from about 1965 onwards, so, wouldn't look too out of place on this layout, even though it does look like it was created for steam, and with a few well known areas included already, such as Scunny, Barnetby, Immingham and New Holland, this should be good to go, the author needs congratulating on such a fine effort.

Cheerz,. Transport Steve.

Not "everyone's" . . .

This was the first add-on I downloaded and installed. I'm particularly pleased with the latest upgrade/extension as it covers the Immingham area (which belongs to the Docks people rather than British Rail/Network Rail) and I had a permit to walk the railway area last year which was fascinating. Much of the signalling equipment dates from 1912 when early power signalling was installed.

I've put up a new version BUT it only has relatively minor changes and if you have the route already, it's not really worth downloading it for the extra - more scenery between Ulceby and Immingham, more sidings on Immingham Docks, a few changes to the signalling, a bit more scenery on Immingham Docks. There are no new scenarios. I'll let everyone know when I've finished the area close to, and in Immingham Docks, and hopefully added one or more scenarios.

Good to see you`re still working on NLLR this really is a very good route.
Looking foreword to the next update.
Thank you for shareing what you have done so far.

Is anybody else trying (or indeed, succeeding) to download this latest version?

It keeps taking me to Skydrive and asking me to log into my account - which I didn't know I had! It is empty of course.

Skydrive seems to be quite 'moody'....I downloaded this a few days ago but now get the same 'log in' message which once done only takes me to my Skydrive.
It's well worth getting hold of though, quite charming.

mayflower61379, would you up-load to UKTS to give all those having bother the chance to run this litttle gem?

[mayflower61379]

You're welcome to stick it on the freebies section if you like. The only problem is that it is nowhere near being finished.

Whilst I am on, is there any chance someone could do a model of Grimsby Dock Tower? I think it's possible to "get away with" all manner of buildings that are "close enough" but this building is unique, and so evocative of Grimsby and the line past it, that nothing comes anywhere near close to resembling it!

Now uploaded to UKTS, just waiting approval---sorry it took so long to upload here, I'm afraid I made a total pigs ear of the upload and had to re-submit

Thanks for uploading it Gary.

If it's OK by you, I'll let you know when it's worthwhile uploading the next developments!

[levisham]

I'm glad to see it finally on UKTS even in it's unfinished state. I'm looking forward to it being completed one day.
Well done mayflower61379 I enjoy playing trains on it which is what it is all about,

Regards, John.

Just wanted to add my thanks for this. Having just spent some time driving endless kilometres of the North German Plain (Drei-Ecke route...) in pouring rain, this was a very pleasant change.

I'm also interested in all those fabulous steam locos but it occurs to me that a single request to Mike Round - by a trusted contact on behalf of the community - either to ask for reinstated downloads or (if permissions and protocols allow) to pool and recirculate those already in other hands, might be the way to go about it?

Or is that terribly bad manners?

Legendary locos, or no legendary locos, I'll be spending some time here...

My pleasure, and of course everybody else's too!!
I'd be more than happy to deal with uploading any further versions etc---just let me know.

Just to put my thanks in too - I was keen to download this latest small update as I am developing a scenario which uses the "improved" section of line. Hopefully this will be good enough to share in due course but its at early stages yet.

When I get a scernario and I don't like the weather I change it.
