Recreating Thirlmere - Buxton

[Falken442]

Hi forum readers and browsers, I'm just posting this here so with my current project. Thirlmere to Buxton (RTM) so that if anyone was looking for a replica of this that I'm the one who will be making that route. This will be a thread for updates suggestions. I just need help with finding a particular asset. Has anyone made, in the process or is planning on making the Hunslet Z27 loco? because as well as just the layout I'm going to also have trains on it and the Z27 is one of them.

The route sounds like a good idea - as to the Z27 best way to help get it into trainz is start doing as much research as you can - see if you can find some blue prints and as many photos as you can

Ok, I've started planning and I figured out that I will need a few buildings as well
One big version or smaller ones that look like it of the train hall at Thirlmere

I've gotton a fare few photos of a Z27, still not the blueprints yet, but I have a mate tracking ones down I think of a 5 inch gauge replica. Would you like me to email you them?
