That really is looking excellent.
It goes to show what can be achieved given time, research and attention to detail as well as some artistic skills.
There are some superb 'private' projects ongoing at present: this one, the extension of the WCML to Barrow, the Trans Pennine to name but a few, all of which put DTG's latest mediocre effort to shame.

I love it, and it looks like you might be saving me months of struggling with the route editor - I'd always fancied having a go at the Leeds Northern Line and the branches to Otley and beyond, and Wetherby with its lovely triangle, but never quite got there.

Lots of steam and early diesels from 1959 to 1963.

Stunning work so far & way beyond anything I could achieve I'm sure this will become a 'classic' :)
One minor constructive comment though :) , fences that go under bridges, not sure if you intend to remove these sections but I found it very hard to modify lofted items once bushes, grass & trees have been added. A fair few payware routes seem to have fencing running at the bottom of cuttings into & through bridges rather than the railways actual boundaries which generally are the tops of cuttings, bottom of embankments & from the line side up or down to a bridge. Hope you don't mind me commenting on this, the route is just getting better & better, looking forward to more screenshots :wink:

Where did the diesel brake tender come from. I didn't know one existed for TS2014?

After placing a number of trailing crossovers at junctions the dispatcher didn't want to know me. The trailing crossovers have now been removed because they messed up the tracks in places and all of the scenarios?
