Hmm...

Clever use of containers or nuclear flask wagon?

How do you get to his facebook page?
tried Krossrails facebook , i cannot find it.

His username is Kross Rails, you can see the photos without being linked as a friend.

On what we've seen so far I've been almost lost for words, so here goes. The route is looking fantastic, the detail incredible and, unless I'm very much mistaken, appears as if it could well be set in the late eighties/early nineties sectorised-BR era. Release day purchase, no doubt about it.

A few of the screenshots show un-electrified lines. Anyone identified these locations yet?

The Dumfries line best guess.

Double heading 87's on a container train anyone? I mean, weren't they meant for express services until arrival of the class 90? When were they stored, i think i have read it somewhere, they were stored and then sold (all of them?) to Romania(?)

Other than that, route looks really good, what else we could expect from mr. Ross

The 87's were mixed traffic from day one. Hence their being fitted with multiple working. Double heading of 86's and 87's was a common enough sight on the northern WCML, especially at night and yes, on container trains.

The Dumfries line best guess.

I'm not so sure it's appeared yet. One of the evening shots of a small station looks very like Bare Lane.

Is the Mk1 Buffet in BR Blue by RSC? If so isn't that new?

is it by RSC?
There are various locos, coaches and units in the video that don't come from RSC.

AP 90, 142
DT Mk2 DEF
JT Voyager

It is because Morecambe Station is shown.
The two lines from Bare Lane in to Morecambe are two separate single lines and one of the pictures is just before Bare Lane with a signal on both branches.

Also the line is not set in 2013 because Bare Lane Signal Box has closed and the track layout at Lancaster is different.

I would have thought that it is likely a reskin of the Maroon Mk1 Buffet that came with Keith's WLOS.

Don't recall seeing that one on Kross Rails facebook. Ah well, my bad.

So we have Dumfries and Morecombe. Wonder if there's any others?

I don't know, which is why I was asking.

Hopefully it is, as we could do with one.
