Lancaster-Carlisle - Progress Shots

Post by jonathanmlewis »

Here are a few more screen shots of the Lancaster-Carlisle route route (which was just Shap summit)

I will try to post some screen shots of Canforth and Lancaster soon but I still have to finish laying the track which I think is now complete at Carlisle (At Last!)

I hope to upload a version around Easter Time.

Looking good!! when we're all done, it would be possible to Euston-Glasgow, with a combination of various routes covering various portions of the WCML :D
(Wonder if the same could be done to complete the ECML......)

Looking good.

What Virgin coaching stock is that btw? caught my eye about the vast difference in red that there is between the loco and coaches. Wanted to do some check ups, and maybe provide an update :)

I can't remember who made them but I downloaded them from http://www.train-sim.com and their Virgin Mk2's.

There should be some new Virgin Mk2s soon, using the new model.
Great work Johnathon, looks accurate from what I've seen so far (living about 5 miles away from Lancaster and Carnforth I should know :) ) Keep up the good work.

I'd always wondered about those Virgin coaches in your screenshots- I'd never seen them here before. Just found them on T-S.com though- they're not that good.

Really looking forward to Rufiky's!

I think their a bit to big as well. But their the only Virgin coachs I have installed.
Here is a screenshot of Preston (the train is leaving platform 4) so far, no scenery yet and not all the track is yet complete.

I don't think it is, it is only 843ft above see level. It is the highest village on the WCML in England :)
