I've decided to indulge a little fantasy on the route, by adding a station at Edinburgh airport. This is just a progress shot for now but a single line runs from a junction on the Fife line into this small two platform station. The trams fiasco never happened here, though my station is pretty much where the tram stop is now.

An Inverness Edinburgh HST passes through West Lothian along the main Edinburgh Glasgow line.

I've decided to drop my plan to include the Alloa to Dunfermline line on this route in the hope that I complete it this decade. Current curtailed intentions would be to terminate the east coast route at Inverkeithing, and the Highland line at Stirling, though I may continue this on to Dunblane.

Thanks Joeseph/Joe (not sure which you prefer),


I haven't done a progress shot for myself or the forum for a long time so have just done so. I have to say that it's encouraging for me to see there is actually something happening with this route as it can be extremely tedious at times, with no appreciable result.

This route represents the dedication, and attention to detail by a single person, my entire respect for recreating this section of the UK, PFX, never been to the UK myself but I do have a fascination with their train lines and whatnot, much fun than here in the states were there is pure freight trains more than passenger trains :lol: , maybe if I learn to make routes one day, probably I'll try to make a route where all began, a Plateway route for the locomotives by Flanders (Sorry for getting slightly out of topic there ._.) but keep up the good work! Cant wait to see this gem get completed one day :D

Thanks.

I've moved to another area for some variety and this is Larbert in its early stages. The station itself is complete, but the houses are going in around that now. I'm very familiar with this area, having lived in Camelon (a bit of a kip) which is the next stop en route to Embra and is only about a mile as the crow flies.

Still working around Larbert and the small industrial estate to the south is now almost complete, seen here on the left.

Change of scenery these last few days. I'm currently scuttering about around Falkirk Grahamston. Here you can see what us Alloa fans referred to as 'Shockville' in the foreground, which looks far more salubrious than the actual ground (now a Morrisons), with the station in the distance. The station building itself is a triangular construction but I've done a make do and mend version here. Some work to do no terrain levels but that will come later.

As part of the transfer from TANE to TRS19, I lost a few assets that don't seem to be compatible with TRS19. Falkirk rugby club was one such victim but I've replaced the buildings with something else that appears close enough. This is crossing Dorrator Road in Camelon.

A couple more in the vicinity of Falkirk Grahamston.

Looking west across the station.

Must be a weekend. There's not a car in the council car park.
