I'm looking forward to running both the route and the activity but the only thing I would change is the Southern M7T for a BR Black M7T as the Bullied Pacific Loco's are BR Green.

Is the stock from BATS Southern Cd?as I think they are some of the best Southern/BR loco's around, the only loco missing is a decent Lord Nelson.

Hi,

Thanks for the comments, the route is the New Forest Route and will be available on UKTS once it has been completed.
All the stock used in the activity are from the BATS Southern Region add on.

A couple of reasons why i chose the Southern M7, one was because i put the two BR black versions as static consists behind 34016 "Bodmin" and i didnt want to have two of the same loco in the activity, i liked the overall look of the Southern M7, and i also wanted to create when BR took over from the "big 4" so there would be a range of liveries out and about, even though the Bulleids are carrying the later version of the BR logo

Some lovely southern stock there. I tell you what the route is looking very nice im looking foward to having a go on the old lymington line. ive run the dorset coast one so much now it will be interesting to see the route in the steam era. Good work im looking foward to it and well done on the activity looks good. cheers all

In the old days the the steam era Lymington Branch was a lot busier than now and had quite a bit of freight traffic,I think to wards the end of steam the M7T's were replaces by Ivatt 2-6-2T

These days it's just like a long siding just an EMU shuttling up and down.

421s are far from being just EMUS

You cant beat southern EMU's, All that go without the scafolding spoiling the view.

I will say one thing the 421's are/were far more comfortable than some of the plastic sets now, but I must admit the Deserio's are some of the better emu's, unlike the Junipers.

But I still say the line now is like a long siding with no passing points, in the old days it would classed as a one loco in steam branch.
