Spent many a time at that crossing both as a kid on the way back from p'boro nagging the parents to go and watch the trains, and as an adult in my previous job having a cheeky skive. Any jobs that required crossing the railway I always made sure I went via as many level crossings as possible, after all if your getting paid to sit in a car watching trains go by then why not? Can't do that now though, instead I watch them go by from my office window.

Yes, it's a reskin of WEN's class 477.

@Joe_T I do, I have some Southern reskins and some fictional Hayden Trains reskins on the DLS. There's also a First Capital Connect and NXEA set awaiting upload

And a screenshot to stay on topic:
A 313 leaves Ashwell East and rushes under the Pointeden line headed toward Ashwell

Nice shots PerRock! Just thought it worth mentioning that in the York shot there is an accurate model of the signal gantry on the right available on the DLS KUID2:174088:38001:2 plus the signal bracket I use in my Millfield shots (ex TC3 Settle & Carlisle) is a reasonable match for the one in front of the HST. Heres a couple of my shots of the real signals before they disappeared in 1989.

The route is the bog-standard built in ECML route. I have been thinking about looking into upgrading it (for my own use)... if I really wanted invest in the time to do so.

They still need some work, this is the 1st time in TRS for them;

Great shots everyone.

A 313 leaves Ashwell East and rushes under the Pointeden line headed toward Ashwell

A heavily rebuilt 313: that with it having 4 carriages and the DMSO of a 508! But hey they've put 508 MSOs into class 455s so why not. :hehe:

 

[nathanmallard]

BR #60800 'Green Arrow' on my route which was created wholly with the SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+P function (apart from the bay area at one end). BTW, does anyone know whether 60800 or indeed any of the V2's actually carried Apple Green with BR lettering?

 

[peterwise]

Nathan,

SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+P ?

Peter.

 

[nathanmallard]

Yup. Create a new route, and hold down that key combination. Press ESC when you want it to stop. Instant landscape!

Yeah, it's a Hayden Trains refurb, so it doesn't look much like the original:hehe:. The extra TSO was added for increased capacity on busy services and the DMSOs were rebuilt with new front ends, light clusters and motors.

Just another one to keep on topic
