Fictional Overground route.

[whiterider]

Hi,
As some of you may or may not know we have a free fictional Overground style route. Once completed it will have 3 lines and possibly more.
I am going to take the opportunity to get your (UKTrainSim users') help in improving the way the route looks.
There are quite a few pictures and there is three (two at time of writing, one uploading) videos on our Facebook page showing development so far. I will share with you some of the screenshots however.

One of the stations along the route. Station signs will be put up later

One of the last stations on the first line made. There is only one station after this.

End of the line!

Because London looks like somewhere in rural, mountainous Europe!

Sean - there's no need to be harsh. It's his route and he can build it exactly as he likes! As it's work in progress, these are developmental shots only so things may change, but in any event, how do you know it's set in London?

If it's not to your taste, don't download it.

This route is NOT set in London, and as if you could read the title I think you would find that out by the word 'fictional'!

Hi everyone, just wondering if anybody knows a way to make all the track in a route one speed without having to select each piece of track.
Thanks

Well done and nice work I like the screens it makes no matter weather its fictional the main thing is you enjoy it

Well Done

Indeed, one of the big advantages with a fictional-protoypical route is that they usually end up being more realistic than the majority of routes which are attempting to represent a real location. Immersion is far better when you're not able to compare what you see on the screen with a photograph.

Hi everyone,
Thanks 'partyspiritz' and 'transadelaide' I too think it is one advantage it also lets you do much more and can kind of let your imagination go wild... well to a certain length - I still want it to be fairly realistic. I highly doubt it will be anything like the Overground right now in London as well it's fair to say on just one route the majority is in tunnel sections.
The route won't have any track inclines either sadly, as I just don't have the time to put them or Super-Elevation in. I am hoping for someone to help me model station signs etc.
Another idea that I had was to get someone to model us a Class 378 and put it into a fictional livery, I would then sell that Class 378 via Just Trains with the route included (a bit like RSCs 111(?) with The Granfield Branch.
Lastly, Just wondering if anyone would like me to release the current version then every week/month if I think it should be updated, then update the file?
Thanks,
Jason
P.S If any body here could help me with modelling station signs, then please email me at: Crosscitytrains.jason@gmx.com

How much are you paying the Class 378 modeller?

Hi,
The person who designs it would get 70% of the money earned from it whilst on sale. The 30% would be going toward a website for us.
If you want to negotiate then send me an email and we can talk on there?
