That's if I ever get it done :lol:

Looking towards Southport, the old landfill site at Appley Bridge which used to see regular freight trains.

Looking towards Southport again, just outside Parbold. A nice look at the gradients thanks to the new easy FOV feature.

Looking back towards Wigan. The Wigan skyline is beginning to take shape.

Looking back towards Appley Bridge. A class 150 crosses one of many foot crossings on the Wigan-Southport line.

I thought you lived in birkenhead :D

I'm trying to figure a way of getting the UKTS freeware terrain textures into an existing route. I need a wide range of textures to work with.

Ok my old house.
But it was the first we ever lived in on our own so I still think of it as ours.
And TBH the state of it (not our doing) I doubt anyone else is living in it.
It was cheap though and a very scenic area.

Sometimes I take my camera and my other half up to one of the many crossings and sit there all day and not see a single person :D
