Thanks for the offer Windsor. From testing done so far it's become obvious that if you don't have a VERY powerful machine it won't run so could you please post your machine specs?
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.
Good question. From the ariel photo on Windows Maps I could see it was a relatively modern HST/APT like shape and colour but that was as much as I could tell having never seen the real thing. I just put something fancy there for now that I had available until time allowed further investigation..
Is there a readily available freeware asset that more closely matches reality? If so post the numbers and I'll update for final release (due within a week).

Hi Steviez
Thanks for the compliment about the route. Has there been some proposal about a new station if so exactly where? Agree about LNWR/LMS stuff. I have a great aerial picture of Crewe yard taken in 1954 that shows the connection from the north-east of the yard, under the main southward running lines connecting to the potteries lines - these lines no longer there but have hinted at them in my route.

Segy,
I am afraid, to my knowledge, no one has modelled the APT. It would be great to see it modelled. However, here is a page with some info and a picture on it! http://www.therailwayage.co.uk/advancedpassengertrain.htm

From what i understand the new Crewe if built would be south of the diesel depot and the former Stoke-Crewe yard link would be re-instated as a passenger line avoiding conflicts with the crossing of the station throat as happens now for certain services also the dive-under for the Manchester lines etc would be brought back to passenger standard.
The only problem with the moving of the station is that it takes it another 3/4? of a mile away from town but the station as is now is very delapidated and does not fit with modern operating methods despite the layout having been completely rebuilt in the days of the class 40's on the North Wales coast.
If you want to speak about change in infrastucture i started work in the biggest marshalling yard in Europe at the time but things change and most of the yard is now given over to housing.
In reard to the APT someone was building one for Trainz but cannot remember who, I travelled on the Apt from Preston to Euston during the testing phase and it was a wonderful train before its time.

The APT was being modelled by J Moody in 2006 but after searching, there doesn't appear to be anything since.
