Lots of steam and early diesels from 1959 to 1963.

I've not seen a signal with a sighting board in the sim before. That's something I've often wondered about as some signals are very hard to see from a distance.

How could you have got TS2015 to work if you don't use Steam?

I don't use Steam as I have not installed it.

Eh, so you don't use TS2015 then?

This is rather confusing to be honest :-?

This is probably the best looking route i've seen so far in this game. Ever. Sets a new standard.

From someone who's local to the area its all looking great - perfect feel to it.

One question - are you going to include the shire horses in the fields near Yarmouth station? Anyone who's travelled up the Acle Straight regularly will know what I'm talking about! - Of course I don't actually expect you to do that, more a tounge in cheek comment.

Although including the Vauxhall Holiday Park is a must!! Wouldn't be complete without some mobile holiday homes!

I'll offer to take some pictures if you need them at all for this or as/when if you decide to extend the route.

Cheers,

Tim

Thanks very much for the kind comments, much appreciated. Apologies for the lack of updates - this is mainly due to the time of year, work, family - haven't had much time to route build but have been tinkering with it here and there.
One small problem I've had is with the OHLE around Norwich. I'm using GEML/ECML South OHLE but I can't seem to find a post with a shorter reach for the wires if that makes sense - there are some tracks around Crown Point which have posts in-between which require a shorter reach. Does anyone know where I can find the required posts, if any? If not, I'll have to put a couple of gantries in place instead.

Anyway, here are a few more shots from around the route..










By the way, I think all East Anglia rail fans are in for a treat with what looks to be a new route from AP- can't wait for this.

Cheers

More shots - reskinned some IOW 3d track which I think works quite well..

Shots are from Bungalow Lane crossing and a bridge just east of the A47 flyover, east of Norwich
