It looks fantastic.

Is it just me or does the track when entering the Dduallt siding go into a bit of a sharp curve?

Looking amazing! Any chance we'll get an original formation FR&WHR at some point? I would personally would love to see some variation in F airlies, Georges, etc. and would just be lovely to have. Not trying to pester you though, all in good time!

Hello,

This is stunning looking work guys! I like the way you left the goats in (and always wonder whether anyone noticed the significance of their placement?!) The custom assets make my original route look a distantly related cousin.

I'm really looking forward to having a go when this comes out, even though I'm familiar enough with every rock, stone, and fencepost from the original enough to drive it with my eyes closed! I'll have to start thinking of more scenarios... Apart from Port, has the track and signalling changed at all? I imagine Boston Lodge will have had some work. Oh, and regarding the comment about the track at Dduallt: http://www.summiteer.co.uk/2017/Jul17/F ... 000083.jpg shows how it was in 2017...

Keep up the good work !!


Thanks,

Here's some more screenshots from another scenario.

Those of you who played Kevin Martin's Ffestiniog route on Microsoft Train Simulator might remember a scenario called "Shunting at Port".
Well this scenario is my take on that idea.

Another novelty to look out for here is the new coaling stage that Steve has created. It has a platform with some coal buckets, some workmen figures and alongside is a static SAR bogie wagon filled with coal. A rail vehicle version will also be available with coal and slate loads for anyone who wants a bit of extra freight variety.
It features most notably a coal loading function whereby a bucket lifts up into the air and pours coal into the bunker/tender of the locomotive, if you've stopped in the correct place of course.

Now how many people have noticed the fact that the coal level in the bunkers/tenders of Steve's locos rise and fall depending on the coal loading?

Well done on the route looking good, one note that I want to point out there is a post at old Boston lodge shed with the yellow circle white post with yellow circle near it (old distant board for Porthmadog)

Looks great as ever!

How many scenarios will be included?
Will any be based on real time tables? E.g the 1005 off Port

I like the look of the SAR B Wagon! Is that a static model or a runable vehicle?

Xavier said (thanks for the updates, route looking amazing) that there would be a rail vehicle version so I assume that a runnable version will be available (alongside the static one at port coal). Trainmad have you got any further with releasing MSTS carriages?

As I said above, there will be both.

I missed that particular bit of text! Oops!

Xavier,

Thanks For the new Garratt Paint Pack, looks great on external views. However, for me at least, whilst in the cab of some of them, the boiler is the wrong colour:
Boiler In cab view in grey 87 appears blue (like 87 in Blue)
Boiler In cab view in SAR Black 87 appears blue (like 87 in Blue)
Boiler In cab view in 130 appears red (like 138)

Hopefully you can help, looks great otherwise!
Thanks
