Hello all, I've done a little more on the electrified section of the Drodditch Line:

2 477s pass at Shugey:


My new attempts at recreating the southern terminus at Toppenham Green:

Hi all,
I've done a bit more to the Drodditch Line:

A little map of the electrified section. The bit from Westfield to Caswell Park is an existing diesel line, which will be electrified up to Caswell Park. Ginton and Caswell Park stations already exist as part of the diesel line. The line to George's wood, and all the smaller stations are being built. The line from Westfield to Toppenham Green/Birchfield is already in place


A 477 terminates at Westfield, the extension section not having been built yet...


The early stages of the extension line electrification are underway. Here we see the site of Honbury station:


The grassy verge just past Honbury



The line's name-giver - The disused Drodditch station

Sorry, but it's just too bright & too plastic for me.

Looks superb Mightyena

Drodditch sounds awfully like the town i live in 'Redditch' is it based on the Cross City line or the Midlands?

It's not intentionally based around the X-city line (but does comprise of a short electrified section and a few diesel lines around a big city). I did start it off as set in the West Midlands (my inspiration was the Snow Hill lines) but it doesn't really have a definite region anymore. I tried to keep the towns 'Midlands-sounding' eg "Drodditch", "Fimbar & Hartlington", "Shugley" and "Solebridge Green". Do they sound Midlands-y enough to you?

Try :
Dudlay
Brimingham
Brimingham Snowham hill
Tuesbury
Thursbury (see if you can work out where I got those bury's from?)
Bradley Heath
Castle Heath
Shortbridge
Newbury port
Woseley
Great Bromwich (I've already used that one )
Wedneston
Wesall
Tyscot (another one I've used on Midshire)
Perry Heath
Queens Heath
Wolverbury
Oxscot (another one I've already used)
Rowley Green
Sistereaton
Tipley
Princess Heath
Briernett or Pensley
Merry Heath
Blowers heath
Dandywell & Sudley (lol)

And my favourite combo that I've used on a lot of my routes "Lichworth"

Shugley sound simular to Rugley Trent Valley while Fimbar & Hartlington sounds like the station Hayes & Harlington on the GWML which is in London.

Hi all, after a while, I've done some more on the Drodditch Line, whilst I wait for inspiration for Wendsey aha!

It's a dull wet weekend, and the line is closed for engineering.
Mullcorn station is now buried underneath a shopping centre:


Still pretty bare - haven't yet added platform furniture:


A gloomy day just east of Westfield, looking towards Honbury:


South Drodditch:

Hi all, I am continuing with the Drodditch line, just extremely slowly! Instead of producing new sections though, I've been going back and tweaking some of the dodgier existing sections:

Westfield has been edited to make it a little less 'Bright and plastic' looking. I've given it new platforms, furniture and the Drodditch platforms have more realistic OHLE:


Fimbar & Hartlington has also recieved some platform updates:




I've also started to update Jakestown, but haven't got any pictures of that yet. Will post some soon.

Let me know what you guys think, comments are always welcome

Great work is It going to be uploaded to the DLS?
And will it be for trainz 2009 sp4/trainz 2010 and above? Thanks

Thanks, It probably will get uploaded once it's finished, but that's a long way away at the moment. I'll try and upload it for 2009sp4 and above.

Thanks Mate all in good time eh make a good job of it it's not easy to make a good route

Hi all, I've been doing a little more on the Melbridge - Tristanwood section:














And a 478 approaches Birchfield:






And I've redesigned the junction at Melbridge, where the line to Birchfield (bottom) splits from the line to Toppenham Green (right)




What do you guys think so far?

Cheers,

I think it is excellent great work there
