Have to say that it looks mighty fine :D
I don't envy you the job of replacing it all though Mark!

Thanks all :D

It is a fiddly and repetitive task, more so with matching the masts to the wire than the actual wiring itself.

I don't really see it as improving the route as much as overcoming the limitations of the default MSTS wiring.

Hopefully OR will eventually put in a better wiring system.

I will post some more pictures when I have completed some more points of interest.

Many thanks to Niall for allowing me to do this :D

Hi all,

Just to say I decided to go with route extension idea and added a few miles. Not too many though! :lol:

Because of a family emergency there will be no work on the route for a little while but I really hope if things improve I can start in a month or so.

I'll post pics when I get started. If I ever get time, I will try and add a little more scenery on the southern half, but make no promises.

While I've got a few minutes, below are the stations I hope will be in V4. Only seven stations but that'll be enough to keep me occupied for a long time.
When work starts for proper, I'll begin a V4 thread on the forums.

Partick
Charing Cross (Glasgow)
Glasgow Queen Street Low Level
High Street (Glasgow)
Bellgrove
Alexandra Parade
Pollokshaws West

Ooops! I meant Duke Street, not Alexandra Parade. Good spot! Mind is elsewhere at the moment.
