Yes, my job is just to lay the track. The route will then be passed over to Ben who will populate it with scenary.

The pic of Herc passing Britannia points is just amazing

Not sure yet - It depends from place to place at the end of the day

A little Sands scenery update from me:

And yes that is Dungy lighthouse you can see in the background (from the last mock up of Dungeness

)

Cool beans,

Couple of points as I really dont want to see this fall by the wayside like so many other MSTS projects.

I wouldnt place any roads yet, I know theres a lot of level crossings, but id *really* wait until all the track and scenery is down first. Otherwise you may find a slightly screwed tdb, rdb and route in a few weeks. Likewise leave all the signals, platform, siding, crossing markers till the end as well. They create permanant entries in the .tdb flle which if you then relay any track can screw it all a bit.

Good luck

Chris

Nice to see another project on the go......

All the best to the team on this interesting little route. I'm sure it'll be popular!

Hiya Chris,

Don't forget this isnt actually on the route - It's just a mock up around a short 250m bit of track

Thanks for the comments though both
