No i havent looked into Website creation yet, its another thing to add to the list. Is it tricky to do?

not really, there are some programmes on the market that make it dead easy, or you can get a book on HTML (the code web programmers use)

hope this helps

p.s i could pm you with the basics if you want

Hey
That looks nice....you seem to have a lot of irons in the fire at the moment

Wow! Really looking forward to this one

Looks excellent at the moment - good luck for the rest of the route!

Wish i could do the same thing in MSTS as well, but creating all the structures would take more than one lifetime!
As i liked the Watford to M.keynes route so much, i got the urge to build Euston to Watford and maybe even M.Keynes to Rugby after that?!
Its good to have a few irons in the fire for variety, but too many could cause meltdown!

Hi Steve,

Looks very nice, well done.

This was going to be a big suprise but I might as well announce it now since it' been mentioned.

I've actually built most of the Milton Keynes to Rugby section already, so WJ-MKC v2 is dead, long live Watford Junction to Rugby! That's a total of about 65 miles/105 km of High Detail XP quality route with more detail than X-City South v1.2 in some cases.

All of the track and yards at Rugby are finished complete with detailed pointwork, flyovers etc, most of the scenery is done and it's far more realistic than any scenery I've made in a British BVE route to date, and the new Milton Keynes - Rugby section is so accurate that even 95% of the catenary masts are placed correctly in relation to the quarter mileposts. I'm currently finishing detailed overhead electrification that almost puts X-City South v1.2 to shame, and it should be released some time in the next few months!

2004 is going to be a good year for the virtual WCML.

Edit: Should have mentioned that's via Weedon and not Northampton, I haven't got any route data for the Northampton Loop!

Cheers,
Anthony.
