Does anyone know where I can get some proper WCML OHL gantries (or would anyone be willing to let me use theirs???? Please!)

Cheers

Barry

Depends what era, check the stoke division and see what you think of those - its a basic set modelled off the WCML ones

Pendolino about to enter Primrose Hill Tunnel

I have decided to stick with the LGV catenary (subject to permission being given to use them!) as they are not really that far off what is actually used on the WCML! Plus several other items used require permission.
Track completed Euston - Stafford inc Rugby to Coventry. Northampton loop & Coventry-Birmingham-Woverhampton-Stafford & north of Stafford to be done, then scenery (mainly default), built mainly for activity scope rather than scenery! Track is 90-95% accurate but due to some limitations of MSTS, a small amount of "licence" has had to be used (mainly around Euston)
Might be a few months off yet though!!

Hi Barry
Thats looking great...just wondering whether you have considered releasing it as a beta route...cause as you say...scenery could take months

Cheers

Hi

I was wondering how you are going to get around the LBE 3rd rail track? I suppose you could just release it with the Global track Shapes, but you'll have to clearly state this fact.

and you would have to ask permission as well?

Last time I brought this up with EB they would be willing to allow use of the track, (and possibly not just to L2B users), I suggest you contact Alan Salmon and ask him.

Yeah, it does look good. And providing i get the sources i need, then it will connect up lovely with my MML line, AND the other sections of Central England that JJules and TrainSimminNick have WIP

I suppose I could do, all stations as far as Stafford are there, signalling from Nuneaton to Stafford needs doing but apart from that, it is fully drivable (all speed limits placed, slow lines Euston - Roade quite challenging!!), it all depends on receiving permission for certain items used in the route.
