fiction WCML Euston-Wolverhampton

[madmardy]

Ok i'm really going for this one
a fictionalised version of the WCML with most stations between
Euston and Wolverhampton it will also include trent valley loop (probably only to nuneaton at this point) midland loop anf the northampton loop.

I am intending to go quite a lot further up in the future,Glassgow maybe?

[southcoasttrains]

Looking forward for this one
Any chance of having a branch from Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction?
Please so I can run my VR between Clapham and Rugby, mayby Brum New Street

[madmardy]

Just an update
track work completed between London Euston and milton Keynes
including branch from Watford junction to St albans
and branch from Bletchley to Bedford with a few fictious power station and coal mines thrown in

estimate completion of project end of August 2002

Will look at doing clapham to willesdon jctn in future versions

[simont]

Did you include the Euston - Watford suburban lines?

[madmardy]

NO i've really simplified euston to watford
for three reasons

1) this is my first majoe route don't want to get too complicated
2) i don't have any track plans (remember this is a fictious route based on the WCML

3)With london i dunno what the effect of frame rates will be

i will probably re hash all of the euston area in a next version

[johndibben]

Very sensible .... if you create something that gives an impression of the WCML .... that gives good frame rates in MSTS .... you have a winner!

To do it accurately .... you would indeed be the 'Madmardy'

What time period are we looking at .... the broader the better

Of course Bletchley must be 100% accurate

Cheers

Wasn't Bletchley knocked down, moved and rebuilt as Milton Keynes?

[RAARAA]

i think the WCML is the most intresting route

[madmardy]

i think the reason for that is that it passes through a larger number of major cities and on the whole is a more industrial route

[johndibben]

Basil ....

They did knock Bletchley down in 1960 something ....

A fine building .... rebuilt with a 'workmans hut'.

Only willpower keeps it up.

Its also popular cos its more scenic and goes through nice places .... and Rugby.

If its only an impression .... thats all that can be achieved with MSTS at the moment.

Some lines have to do 125mph .... simply to get somewhere interesting .... before the passengers get bored .

I am making a branchline from Wolverhampton Low-level to Stourbridge. We should collaborate on the high/low level station buildings. You can do the viaduct for high level

[madmardy]

well you might have to wait a bit for this route now (see post in route builders form)

I'm gonna swing for these two companies one day.
oh theres a thought its my birthday next week a good present for me
would be the head programmer of kuju standing here right in front of me
while i .........

[southcoasttrains]

You should complete the route up to Carlisle to meet the S&C or maybe up to Glasgow

[madmardy]

according to my track plans wolverhampton only has one level

would love to take it up to glassgow if i had the time,present plans for the future would see it going up to stafford or maybe crewe

[danielwilkieuk]

Glasgow to Carlise is in planning at the moment, Its not done by me! but the station layout will probably be the exact same!
