I'm fairly impressed with it - it continues to the same standard as part 1 - i.e. Not the most detailed, but a reasonable representation of the route, and still some problems like gaps in the OHLE gantries etc.
However, has anyone else noticed the lack of signalling on the down line between Stoke tunnel and Grantham (sorry, 'Gratham')? - there is a 4-mile gap with no signals in it! It's not like that in real life is it?

I have been playing both Parts 1 & 2 of the ECE, and in my opinion it is good value for money.
The Activities entertain, and it is a reasonable interpretation of the route.
Like anything else anyone can find faults if they want to go looking for them.
But overall this is a decent product.
I would just add that on some PCs the settings may need turning down slightly to enable navigation of the busy sections of the route.
Kind Regards Stephen.

I only have part 2
So far I'm chuffed to bits with it. I've just come back into MSTS, and I think its value for money, although I am woudering weather to get ECE part 1. The activities are good, and I think the models are pretty good as well, particulary the sounds.
The only problem I have with it, is the fact I cannot create activities for it. Be nice anyone could make some interesting activites for just part 2 :. I would if I could, I used to enjoy maing activities.
