My Midland Mainline route

UPDATE:

All trackwork from London St Pancras to Kettering is complete, all that is left to do is re-signal a few areas, and add some more scenary. Plus re-align a couple of #ski slope' gradients. I'm now working on a northern extension, i'm aiming for derby, but we'll see how it goes.

Souds good Chris. I can't wait to see some screenshots of your route. Which St Pancras building will you include? The famous trainshed or the interim station?

it will be from the orginal trainshed, which is built and finished. All the track work and siganlling is modern day.

I'm currently waiting for the route to be return from Blackfoot, who is correcting my mistakes. Then I'll have a crack at building the route to Derby (currently a kettering but this needs a rebuild). I'll look at each spur or branch at a time. i'd like to built the branch to corby but we'll see when the time comes.

hey chris

Just a couple o' questions mate. Hows the scenery and stuff going? and how accurate is your trackwork?

The reason i ask is your route is covering some of the same ground as mine and i was wondering about what your route is like.

regards
jon

Well as Chris said I am currently helping him by sorting out all the trackwork etc. Im not sure how accurate it is, but im sure its pretty close, he has DEM'd the terrian and layed a trackbed. Also he has some driver videos of the route also so Im guessing thats a big help.

There are also a few custom models coming fomr myself, such as platforms, platform buildings and general buildings. Once work is looking more promising then I some shots will be posted.
