It truly is quite astonishing that this route, with such a large collection of unique and very high quality assets, coupled with the exceptional route building and high detail density, is going to be free for us all... :o

What a fantastic community project. Well done to Matt, Phil, Richard and everybody who is involved, and also a huge thank you for your amazing efforts. :)

Kind regards
Chris

I couldn't agree more with you Chris, I am often amazed at what the Community can achieve when they pull together on a project, yourself included. :wink:

And a big 'thank you' from me as well, to all those that have been involved.

Excellent work Matt. I was at the recent Diesel Gala and visited Hampton Loade (and other places you've depicted so well so far) and all the locations are as accurate as the real thing! :)

I'm looking forward to the eventual release of this route very much!

Hello All

Sorry there haven't been any decent updates lately. There have been trickles on our FB page - http://www.facebook.com/SteamSoundsSupreme - but I intend to continue providing route building updates right here. Sadly, there has been little in the way of progress in recent months with the route itself. But, what I have here for you is a peak at the range of free wagons that'll be coming with the route. Kindly created for us by Phil Baines.

























There are more and I'll try and post some more pictures soon.

Regards
Matt

Not much progress to show I'm afraid. The route is in the hands of another route builder, just to help me get it finished.

Once thing I do know is that the Arley station model is progressing well. If Paul pops along here, maybe he'll show a pic or two.......................... :wink:

Thanks for your interest.

Regards
Matt

Some posts placed in the skip. Please stop hassling the route builder for progress reports, I am sure Matt will update you when theres something to report.

Matt, should you wish, I can lock this thread and only open it when you have progress reports to post.

Hi, will there be scenarios included with the SVR? I have a scenario idea. Do you know when 34053 Sir Keith Park got recommissoned? Well could you do a scenario for that? It will be a tough run with 8 coaches on.
Thanks
