I really have to agree - the screenshots in this thread are more realistic than any other route I have come across. Quite simply stunning!

I live in Leamington and work literally opposite the station.

When i first saw a few of these screenies i genuinely thought they were photos for a second.

Absolutely epic job on the route so far, and don't forget if you ever need beta testers... ;)

I'm pretty sure if there was news it would be posted, and now everyone sees this in the latest posts list and falsely heads in expecting some news.

Nobody enjoys being badgered when they're making stuff. And you were guilty of bumping this actual thread back in 2015 and cleary took nothing from the warnings.

Although I know the name of the topic is "Birmingham Area", Is there a route plan for the route under construction? I wondered how much of Birmingham area you are modelling? E.g. Will you be modelling the line used by Vintage Train's Shakespeare Express? ect.
I was amazed yesterday when I was in Birmingham how quite a lot of Birmingham has changed over the years. Since I last went into the city. a few year ago. I hadn't been to Snow Hill station before. But seeing oringnal photos. I noticed a big difference within the station. Birmingham Moor Street and Tyseley seemed to have kept most of their features excluding signalling. - IF anyone can correct me. By all means do so. I am not from Birmingham so felt out of place yesterday when travelling on the Shakspeare Express. :P lol

Hi,
Thanks for you interest, its' still being worked on - I wasn't happy with the trackwork and texturing,so all these are being updated. I'll post some shots soon. I'm also trying to get the Norfolk route out - just wish I hadn't reskinned so many payware assets! I'm gradually releasing some of the required reskinned assets on this site. Appreciate your patience, this route has been in progress for too long.
Cheers

...and here was I wondering if your superb work had been snapped up by a commercial software house! :D

Good to hear that both of these routes are still in progress.
