DTG to produce Liverpool - Manchester via Warrington Central

[daveannjon]

Some people still don't realise there are TWO routes between Liverpool and Manchester.
There is the Chat Moss line where Stephenson's Rocket did so well in the Rainhill trials and it was the Main Line from Liverpool to Manchester Victoria.
Class 124 DMU's, 45's, 47's and even 55's worked on the Liverpool - Leeds/Hull/Newcastle services.

And there is the line from Liverpool Central to Manchester Central via Warrington (Central of course,) built by the Cheshire Lines Committee.
DTG have modelled this line and in modern times it has seen Class 31, 47, 101, 108, 115, 142, 150, 156, 158, 170 & 185.

Yeah, not being British, this is something which I'm not very much aware of

Wondering if anyone is adding the route via Chat Moss to this route, for uploading to Workshop or UKTS? Would be great to have L-M via Chat Moss available, even if in a modern day version instead of a (near) original Victorian version!

Cheers,

Don't forget the third route, the L&Y one from Victoria to Liverpool Exchange via Wigan, or bypassing Wigan for the fastest expresses. Still possible to do this route with a change to Merseyrail electric at Kirkby but takes a long time. As you come into Liverpool you run alongside the remains of the approaches to Exchange which only exists as a facade now.

As mentioned earlier I was very disappointed Longsight was not included

Well, since its launch I have spent an awful lot of time on the Liverpool-Manchester route adding in representations of some of my favorite locations that were not included!

These include the whole line/signalling from Deansgate thru to Liverpool Lime Street (via Earlestown), WCML from south of Warrington Bank Quay (including the station) to Bamfurlong Junction and the main crux of the operation Ardwick FTPE TMD (including Ardwick and Ashburys Stations) and Longsight Depot!

Around Ashburys I have some more scenery work to to but, as far as the line to Liverpool Lime Street goes, there are many, many hours required to put even some basic scenery in position - and may that will never be created who knows

Some images can be found via the link below but I have to say that all this is for my own pleasure of scenery creation and cannot be published due to copyright restrictions.

Very good pictures and easily recognisable locations - shame the route was not released with both Warrington Central and Chat Moss routes included.
