#6193. I've just had a look on the NLS's OS maps to see where your screenshots were taken Tanker and talk about colour me impressed if that is what you're aiming at representing.
Much appreciated Annie! I can't tell you how happy that makes me! Receiving a compliment from a Route Master such as yourself really makes me want to work even harder on this!
I have to be honest with you, the scale of this project is so massive I won't be able to acquire the level of detail I want on all the areas of the Southern Region, but I want to at least makes most areas stand out as they do in their photographs. Places like New Cross Gates, Southampton, Eastleigh, Dover Marine and many more need extensive research in the future before I make proper replicas of these iconic locations. (I can't wait for you to see London Bridge and Cannon Street when I post the next SR Update :hehe
But little areas like this are what gives the route so much character and add to the enjoyment of operation in sessions and freestyle play. The goal is for you all to have fun with the route while enjoying the authentic operation and running of trains.
I have spoken to Frank about doing the DEMs for the route in three separate sections like how I divided them up for the project, and I may release each Phase of the Project as individual routes based on their railway of origin. That would make it easier for users to modify for backdating or personal preference. Releasing the SECR/Kent and LSWR/Hampshire and Berkshire would make for easier DEM Mapping for Frank and for me to work on. It's definitely going to be segmented.
The South London Route will definitely get an independent release though. I need to add Feltham, Hither Green, and Reading Goods Depots to it before I start it but I will probably work with Barney on making some PBR Buildings and Scenery for the route along with a compliment of Locos, EMUs and Rolling Stock to match. We've got all sorts of projects like that in the works - not enough High Quality Premium Routes out there for us UK Fans you know?

I hope I can keep impressing you with my work! I'll do my best!
