West coast route w.i.p.
Just a route ive just started, its based around the south end of the West coast line (Camden area 'ish). Its gonna have a large steam loco shed, carriage sdgs and a Gwr line that links on to the main line (artistic license). More pics to follow soon.

Re: West coast route w.i.p.
Looks superb Glen but you may want to consider changing the overhead catenary wire supports and wires . The catenary wire is the wrong type as it's the Mk3 type which was only introduced in the 1970s (Used north of weaver junction on the WCML) and the actual wire supports with the insulators is based on the PUG2 design which was introduced from 2000 onwards with the upgrade of the West coast mainline .
Anything of mine marked up as UK 25Kv Mk1 will be more suitable and matches the gantries you've used .
You wont have to bury the gantry concrete foundations and there are suitable wires available to run under the bridges .
Should look great with some electric blue leccies

Re: West coast route w.i.p.
Just spotted something, can i ask why you are using GWR\BR-WR Lower Quadrant Semaphores on an LMR electrified route ?
There are LMR UQ Semaphores available for TZ.

They are on a ex GWR line that crosses over the top of the LMR line. Artistic license at workRedDragon wrote:Just spotted something, can i ask why you are using GWR\BR-WR Lower Quadrant Semaphores on an LMR electrified route ?
