I must admit the 91 and the 185 would be the icing on the cake for me also, perhaps the release of your route will prove to be the springboard needed for these items coming into Railworks at some stage. Until then with the Included scenarios, your own payware based scenarios and the scenario possibilities referred to it looks like we are in for an absolute treat and we will be kept very busy with your route for some time.

Bring it on.

To be honest Richard, that is how it seems to work. Once the route is out, people know automatically what is needed and will hopefully feel inspired to create something for it.

I would love for these to be developed too. At least we will have Tornedo to play with. I am planning repaints for some ECML stuff on the future. But it is quite far in the distance.

I suppose it depends which way you look at it because it is slightly more than an "updated route". Anyone who suggests that is being pretty offensive. Like I mentioned earlier, I have no control over pricing, I am just a route builder and would rather keep this thread for the purpose of the title. If you want to talk to me about it or have a dig, by all means, send me a private message.

Just viewing the screenshots alone make it quite obvious that this is much more than a route update.

Hi
The price quoted would be extremely low, for a brand new route,but a little expensive for a modified default route,please dont get me wrong on this,as a route builder i am well aware of the work involved, even with new assets created and modifications carried out it is still at the end of the day 2/3 a default route,the screenshots look extremely good and the modifier has done a great job,bringing it up to date,and i would expect it to sell well,but i do feel he is being oversensitive as regards to the price issue,no one is critisizing his work,indeed he has said he has no control over pricing so posters are not getting at you.
This is now a commercial product that people are being asked to pay for so,unfortunately it will attract praise,but also critism,try not to take it personaly.
Good Luck

Hi Kevin,

I fully understand although I wouldn't agree with the 2/3 default route statement. It is well known that there were many reasons why it had to be a commercial product, I am not going to go there again. :D At the end of the day, people have a choice and as you say can either praise or critiscise. I don't actually take most things personally unless there are attacks on character (seen previously but now forgotten :)) and comments that try to state that I have just flown the route and added catenary.

Well from what I've seen of this route it looks very good and for £15 I think that represents reasonable value for money.
