Wenford Bridge Line

I'm anticipating the Alston branch for MTS will be ready some time in October.

Next up I'm considering doing Bodmin Road (Parkway) - Bodmin - Boscarne - Wenford. However just want to check no one else is planning to do this so as to avoid any clashes.

At the same time I'll probably be refurbishing Far North and playing Densha de Go is inspiring me to do an urban tram/traction/rapid transit style route.

Crikey Vern- No stopping you is there!

The Wenford line has always fascinated me - twisty track along a narrow right of way. Would also provide a route where 08 shunters would be right at home!

I've now managed to find a book that includes gradient profiles of all the sections, including the Wenford line. It looks for completion sake as if I'll have to go from Bodmin to Padstow as well though.

Projected start time...mid-October.

Vern's obviously paid by the mile as opposed to the foot

Beattie Well tank for Wenford Bridge surely

It'd look good in Trainz
