Hi, I've currently downloaded the 3601 Green loco, C3265 and C35 from the DLS and wanted to race them like the Great Train Race. Is there any route anywhere that replicates Newcastle to Maitland?
Puffingbilly, a recent attempt to contact Daniel via e-mail regarding his Gosford-Newcastle route elicited no response.
I hope to embark later this year - after finishing my current commitment to the Rail-Sim team - on a detailed route set in 1955 and 1965 from Cowan to Broadmeadow. I have been collecting historic data and images for a number of years. To complete this project as a set of modules (Cowan Bank being the first) within the remainder of my life (I'm 60 ), would require a team effort. I'm not aware of any collective effort being made to produce an Australian route before now, so I'm not silly enough to think assembling a team with enough commitment to see the project through will be easy. We are not all interested in the same railway eras and locales and those that do hold a common interest don't necessarily have the skill mix required.
Why bring this up here, in Falken442's thread on Maitland-Newcastle? Well, because the exchange between Muliebuck and matruck struck a chord. I would have preferred to "cut my teeth" by contributing to the effort of a pre-existing team making a historically-accurate Australian route, but this was not available.
