Crianlarich to Mallaig

[Andreww]

Recently I found the Crianlarich to Fort William section of the west highland line and was wondering if it is possible to merge this and TMZ06003's excellent Fort William - Mallaig to be used personally and not to be uploaded?

If you are confining the use of the material to yourself there are no restrictions on what routes you can merge. Whether it is possible to do this effectively is a different matter. Even if both routes are correctly aligned and are at the same height there is still a potential E-W and N-S mismatch of up to 360m.

I did this successfully some time ago. The two are at the same elevation. As far as I remember I brought the Mallaig route down onto the West Highland, using the West Highland version of Fort William station and up to the Caledonian Canal. Just work out exactly where you want the joins to be, make clones of both routes and cut out a few boards from the Mallaig clone before merging so that the fit will be exact. You then merely have to readjust the scenery a little along whichever join line you have chosen.

Good luck.

Both these were originally made by Vern, and intended to be merged IIRC
