Wendsey

Post by Mightyena »

Hi all!

After playing around with NexusDJ's brilliant Midshire Mainline and having a bash at some little route building projects, I decided I would have a go at a proper full scale route. My dream i suppose is for it to become as universally known as Midshire haha, though that is unlikely!
Anyway, I shall upload a map of where the line intends to go along with the screenshots of my progress (as soon as I make one haha)

Version 1 is still quite a way off yet (it will be the first incarnation I get to where you'll be able to naturally reverse trains at both ends)
So I give you, Wendsey, V0.4 haha!

Naturally I will release it when I reach V1, but if there is enough interest then I may release V0.5 as a sort of 'taster' to give you all a feeling of what it will be like, and to get much needed (and wanted!) feedback :D

V1 will also (hopefully) include my reskins of the Class 477(see here), 317 and 369 to run on it!

Many thanks for having a look, :lol:

Looks good, i think you should do some mainline-ish sections on your route.

haha thanks, That is technically the 'mainline' section (just not 4 track) as it carries the pendolino, HST and Voyager express services, and has a line speed of 110-125mph haha.

However if you mean a 4 track traditional mainline, you're in luck :)

That look like a mainline?

And a few more of the Awsworth line:

Aha glad you like it. I've now produced a map that shows you the different sections of track so far. Note the line will continue in both directions.

Image

this is the section I've done so far (Trackwork). I may upload it to the DLS when I finish the scenery between stations *shudder*

I do also have a video of the journey so far between Boston Junction and Wendsey, so I'll try and upload it and post the link (file is 7.6GB though :shock: )

EDIT: uploaded the preview video to youtube, check it out here:

or for the full link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgq5YJNO ... ture=g-upl

Keep an eye on my youtube account as I will try to add more preview videos as I progress :)

OK, Wendsey V0.4 Preview 3 is up and running (preview 2 refuses to upload at my Grandad's, will try again when I get home):

Enjoy!
This one is a cab ride on board a class 369 showing the approach to Stonewall Vale station, the current terminus of the Awsworth line. (This train is following the green and blue sections of the above map :)

ah, well there will be in the future, I plan to have 4tph along the Awsworth Branch (blue section) in either direction, and 6tph along the mainlines in stopping services, and then either 2 or 3tph fast pendolinos/voyagers to Awsworth. But setting up the session will take quite some time haha. Sound good?
