How about some graveyards? More big town pubs and not these village real ale pretty buildings. Football stadium kits from non-league to erm, bigger.

Don't get me started...

A European main line which is not set in Austria or Germany.

Switzerland is nice but it would be mostly Electric lococ.
France would be good
Belgium would be interesting with a wide variety of trains and densely populated network.

And a Eurostar :)
Can give it a run on London to Peterborough

Would love a Class 124 transpennie. But it would have to be built by drawings.

Perhaps also a 56, 45 and 25 from RSC might be quite nice?

A Class 56 and two Class 20's are comming soon, i will stick with the advanced version 20. So hopefully the 45 peaks will follow to.

I haven't read ALL of the posts in this thread, but what I'd like to see is the facility of joining two routes together.
As an example, I have Bristol-Exeter and The Riviera line. Wouldn't it be great to be able to run from (say) Bristol to Paignton in one go.
Asus Z97-K. Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4 GHz. 3GB NVidia EVGA GTX780Ti. 16GB DDR3 RAM. Sound Blaster Z. Windows 10 64 bit.
2x960GB SSDs, 3x2TB internal HDDs and 2x1TB & 1x2TB external HDDs.

I completely agree... even better is the tantalising thought of getting from Dundee, through Edinburgh, to Newcastle and York, with the not too distant option of continuing through from York to Peterborough, to link up with the Peterborough to King-X route!

HOWEVER... I think the practicalities probably make this near impossible as a retrospective 'modification'... I very much doubt any of the routes are built with the level of accuracy to even get the joining tracking in the right vicinity, let alone directly linked up... I like the dream though... maybe a large scale 'community project' supported by some of the third party developers would be a more likely option!?!?

Somone has managed to join WLOS & WCMLS, as both routes share the same tiles for Carlisle.
Cheers, Robert :)

Really? You must show me!

I thought it would be impossible as scenery tiles are numbered as they are created, not by geographical location, so when you try to combine routes, the same tile names could signify totally different locations.

I cant remember where I saw it, I think it was on a US site.

But like I said, Carlisle is on the same tiles in each route, so there is no conflict other than Carlisle itself.

That is extremely convenient, but we won't be as fortunate with other routes.

Not unless the route authors are clever from the start.

The Grid could be very good, as could the peaks :) Though the JT 20's are just fine especially with the AP soundpack!
