I was going to ask the same question as my thoughts immediately turned to blue diesels. However, if necessary I can remove the "wires" as I have already done with other routes eg WCML North.

Crouch Valley 2 was NXEA era so probably about then?

Thank you for the kind offer but all is in hand with that side of things.

The route in set in the current day so there is a lot of Greater Anglia signage hastily painted over the NXEA signs. With also some First Great Eastern signs left and maybe the odd Network SouthEast sign still holding on in 2013!

As promised heres some pics and the only ones until release. Surprised more people weren't interested but guess the route doesn't appeal to many. Thanks to those who did and these are for you.
As always, work in progress and also artistic licence used where needed. All feedback welcome.

Congratulations on what looks like being an outstanding route - having spent most of my life living near GE tracks at Manningtree, what with the Mayflower line 1st & now your superb work, I can't wait to get going on the GE !! Your pictures are instantly recognisable. Looking forward to seeing the finished product> Well done - without people with your skills, this hobby would be far less fun & interesting

Impressive!

Instantly recgonisable, also good to see the signalling isn't the default 'EN444'.

I have some Anglia 86's that I use on the Mayflower line and they'll be very much looking forward to stretching their wheels on the GE mainline.

Looking forward to it's release - Keep up the good work fella.

Hi, It looks to be a step up from the older versions & they were really good!
