Great Yarmouth to Norwich

Post by Miccer »

Hi all

Despite the fact that I like inventing routes based on well nothing I have found this to be a bit too difficult. It isn't difficult to build the stations but somehow I always run out of ideas as the route progresses. After giving up on my route this morning I randomly zoomed in on the East of England in Google Earth. To my surprise I zoomed in on an area just a few metres away from a railway line. I started researching and found out that it was the line from Norwich to Great Yarmouth.
Immediately I thought that this might be the one for me to build. It is mostly flat terrain, however the marshes will be a huge challenge with all those rivers, especially to make it look real. The main type of train used on this route is the class 156 which happens to be my favourite one and since I own the Oovee class 156 addon the rolling stock is no problem.

I also found a very useful website about this route with all the information regarding stations, station plans, etc... It also has a picture gallery that can be used for reference.

There are also links to several websites of the towns that the line passes.

Greetings
