Well, that's pretty obvious---holds true for any recent rolling stock pack but the fact that NNL may come with a bundled 'class whatever' doesn't make the purchase of a duplicate essential to use any other route.
People will have to buy the Class 378 standalone to use certain workshop scenarios and/or repaints.
And as you're of impoverished means you can't afford RW Tools..........

...and don't try and tell me that workshop scenarios won't download unless you have all the pre-requisites, as that's not the case.

Turnham Green isn't on the North London Line,it's on the Piccadilly/District Line,the nearest NLL station to Turnham Green is Gunnersbury.

Does the route map linked to by Juanillo put a smile on your face?

To be honest, I am looking forward to this... would have been an absolut stunner, if they would have also done the branch down to surrey quays. But this looks good enough for me, as i enjoy the London services.

Hi
I have just had a look at the route map and yes I'm really pleased with it,and the fact that it goes all the way from Richmond to Stratford,
I still thi k it would have more interest if it had been set in the 60-80's period far more interregional freight trains in those day's,and many different class of locomotives were seen on it.

This is actually one the recent developments I would be interested in.

A quick question on the electrification
Where the map shows third and forth rail, is there dual electrification on these parts (i.e. Third rail and OHLE) or is each section just singly powered as shown in the map?
For disclosure, I am affiliated with a third party developer however, I do not know anything about any future releases unless I'm working on them and even then, I'd be breaking years worth of built up trust to say anything about it ;-)

Iirc when I was on this train a while back there is a change over between 3rd rail and hole at Acton central I think it was there I saw the driver raise the pantograph. If that helps

The 378's run of the outer "3rd" Rail and the LUL units used both the 4th and 3rd Rails for their power circuits.. the same as from Queens Park to Harrow on the Overground/ Bakerloo.

Looking at the map it shows the connections from this route to all the other routes except the one from Acton mainline up to North London at Acton wells Junction . Given it's the main access for the class 59 hauled trains off the western and onto the North London I hope it's just a map error ?!

Hmmm, I don't think so somehow, Dave. :(

I've just had a look at this NLL route and calculated the approximate mileages between each station.

Richmond to Willesden 9 miles
Willesden to Gospel Oak 5 miles
Gospel Oak to Stratford 9 miles.

So, with all the extra bits tagged on, such as St.Pancras, etc, this looks like a 30 mile route give, or, take a mile, and it's going to cost £24.99, and you think that's value for money compared to the South London Network route map that covered nearly 90 miles in total, here's a map to remind you what you got and then compare the 2. And then, of course, Danny Leach waved his magic wand and merged the South London with the Brighton route to create a megamap, I think I'll stay with that one.

Hi Xguerra

I have just installed your version of the North London Line,and must say how realistic it looks for that period of time,it was quite run down then,in the 70/80's it was scheduled for closure,what actually saved it was when Network South East was formed.

Just a few things missing supermarket trolleys along side the track graffiti on the building walls,and so far no London Red Buses on the roads,other than that it's really good,it's kind of put me off buying the DTG version.

The section between Richmond and Gunnersbury is shared between National Rail and London Transport services.

Looking at the map

What is the Triangle at Gospel Oak?

It is not like that in real life.
