I see you have been spending time at Longport. Thank you for buying the route and I hope you enjoy your purchase. Sorry about it being pre-electrification though!

thanks nexusdj , but I wonder if someone can give me a hint how to get maps of former British railways?

Hello JPBT. If you mean the networks of old railway companies there are a number of publications that show maps of railway companies as far back as pre 1923.

However if you are looking to trace the route of a closed railway line you can refer to a relevant OS map with a scale of 1:25000 or greater. The following link will take you to a website which has maps which cover the whole of the UK as it was in the middle of the 20th century.

Try this site: http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html

Select the area you want from the main map then pick the era you want. 19th & 20th century is well represented.

There are some excellent scales suitable for Trainz modelling, including highly detailed 1:500 maps in some areas. These can even show both rails of the track, locations of signals, turntables, type of station/yard buildings and hardware such as cranes etc.

I've chopped some up and laid them as 1km square basemap tiles and they make track laying etc. very easy.

Dreadnoughts; weren't they London Metropolitan Railway rolling stock?

An NBL Class 29 lets off some "clag" as it gets the signal at Wapping Bridge junction, Penshaw.

Also, congratulations to those who make it onto my 'Trainz User Collection Screenshots' in My Pictures.

It saves me searching again for your marvels.

Dreadnoughts; weren't they London Metropolitan Railway rolling stock?

They were Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Class 8 4 cylinder 4-6-0s introduced in 1908. At the time they were the largest UK locomotives so they were nicknamed after the large battleship class of the same name. They were mostly rebuilt in 1921 and more were built up to 1925 by the LMS. They were used for a time on West Coast expresses between Crewe and Carlisle.

 

[chris30sg]

They were yeah, it was just that Klambert is doing the A stock, and it would match with Andi06's Met Vic locos.

Excellent route , Superb detail and a week needed at least to explore every section of it . As for an electrified version if you every consider an updated version I'm told there's a suitable kit of Mk1 catenary parts on the DLS , Though it's a bit rough and ready and the authors name does escape me

Great shots all
