Return of the Backdated North London Line

[mojo12012]

Thanks for a bit more of my old stomping ground, Xguerra. Will we have to uninstall the original or can this be installed as is? Sorry if there's an explanation somewhere I've missed.

Sorry, no need. Just install over the top.

Thanks xguerra.

Many thanks xguerra.

Thanks for the heads up Xavier, route installed and running very smoothly, although, I have noticed several trackside holes across the route, my lads will be out early tomorrow morning with the ballast gangs, double time on Sunday, that's going to cost me an arm and a leg......

Cheerz. Transport Steve.

Looks wonderful, downloading as I write - thanks xguerra.
Cheers!

Trackside holes, that sounds serious!
Can you describe these holes?

[TransportSteve]

The first is at Stratford Station, and the other 2 shots are at St. Pancras, there are more, but, we have a restriction of only uploading 3 screenshots onto this forum.

How very strange. I've found them too but they were not there the last time I looked.
And I am certain I have not touched the terrain there since it was completed.

Anyway, I've now been through every bit of the route and think I've fixed them all. So the installer will be updated shortly.
But I genuinely didn't make any of those holes! Therefore there is an undiagnosed TS2016 bug that is causing the terrain to corrupt.

EDIT: Installer updated. Redownload from the same link.

Well done, all the holes have now gone, as magically as they appeared, many thanks, Xavier.

Are you considering carrying on with this little project, or, can we treat it as finished now?

Cheerz. Steve.

Had a drive down to North Woolwich. I can honestly say I enjoyed this short trip as much as I have anything in game. I had been on the route (too!) many years ago and xguerra has captured the mood and air of decay really well. Thanks again for making and sharing.
Just uploaded a couple of short scenarios for the trip from Stratford Low Level down to North Woolwich. One pre-electrification early 1985 using a class 105 DMU the other later 1985 driving a 2 EPB unit.
I hope they run ok.
Hey ho, off to work..

Thank you too for the kind words you have put in the description!

That I don't know at the moment. Where else would I go that is considered North London Line?
My skills don't really give justice to a huge network of routes like something Danny would produce.

I have a few other ideas for other routes but some of them depend on what DLC is produced in the next year or so.

On reflection you have covered the NLL in its entirety to the map, much more than DTG's offering, including St. Pancras and even down to North Woolwich and Broad Street, the only significant thing that was missing, for me, from a railway operational viewpoint, was Euston Station, however, I appreciate that time and suitable research material is restrictive, for the build period of the route.
I don't think the community would expect a freeware offering of such huge propertions to what Danny, and others, have produced over the years, but, there is nothing wrong with your route building skills at all, you leave us all amazed with the high quality of your creations, for which we give huge thanks, and look forward to whatever else you decide to succeed in.

can i say how much better the NLL is now with the backdated version also.nice to see broad street reborn..

what people want i would guess now just to finish the NLL off is New line to finish in euston(which is a massive job if u go pre-rebuild) as euston had quite a few point motors operating, and for it finish at watford via the high street...as i said its a massive piece of work..but that would finish it for a few of the readers..it will kill alot of memory i suspect...and be a massive piece of virtual civil engineering...

wait for it someone will now ask for the croxley to be included also...(i am not)

i am aware that the WCML is available as an addon, but for those who dont have the funds

to all you route builders i have massive respect to you all - the tiny improvements u guys share make it worthwhile
