Hi vendel / Gábor
Firstly, let me, on behalf of all that use your products, thank you for all your time and trouble in producing such excellent content, it really is quite stunning.
I left Trainz for quite some time and didn't regret it and I took up photography again and got out into the fresh air. I guess everyone needs a break from Trainz, now and then, as it can become quite an obsession. I just use it for relaxation now, rather than a chore.

In answer to your question, I think the AJS wall is 25m, but I would need to check on that - I could be way out, but it needs to be very tall.
If you should decide to make any walls, I would be grateful if you would make three versions - with and without the capping stones and those with and without piers. I really is a pain making the piers :hehe:
If you are only wanting to make one wall, then without capping stones, or piers. You can always add piers and use cable box for the capping stones, but you can't take them away if they're there and you don't want them.
Kind regards
Dave

Hi Everyone,
Nice shots everyone.
We Start at Gainsborough where a special pulled by the lines Deltic D9003 Meld is waiting for the all clear.
After the deltic left a Class 57 speeds through with a Gas Train.
At Hampton on the Hill we see the lines Jubilee waiting to leave with an Up Train.
At Wolverton Station we see another up train Leaving with 5541 Duke of Sutherland in charge.
Later we see Meld stopping in Platform 1 at Troutbridge with its down train. In platform 2 the Patriot 5541 has just arrived.
Just outside Olemouth we see another Up train being pulled by Britannia 70014 Iron Duke with a small L1x Atlantic Piloting it over the single track section.
Here we see the lines LMS Garrett 47992 and 900 Eton at Templebay.
Finally the lines 4F 43999 Under the coaling stage at Olemouth.

Hello Angela, how's your eyesight these days ??
Yeah, I managed to get some more RAM installed on my PC, so I can download some of the bigger routes on the DLS now. Since I took the screenies of your WCL part two layout, I've always wanted to try your Part 1 section, and a real beauty it is as well, so now I can, and I even got all 71 DEM HOG texture kuids into my world download folder.......:hehe:
So, just for you, here's a few more pics, now that I've managed to get the underground tracks and trains set up, and put a few more trees on, it's a fabulous route, I used to work near Paddington station over 20 years ago, so it brings back memories for me also. You've done a magnificent job on this layout, so much detail, it's absolutely stunning, a true Trainz gem.....
Take care of yourself.
Cheerz. ex-railwayman.
Yes thanks
The line is formed like this:
Depot + Yard + Station > Junction > Short (ish) 2-track branch line > Station + Junction 2 > Portal.
Junction 2 diverges off as a single track (and fairly overgrown) freight line to a power station, which ends at the power station where there's a run-round loop/headshunt.
It's about 25-30 boards in size. It's got a lot of detail in the bits that are nearest to the track, but then less and less detail as the boards move away from the track. The unique thing about the route is that you can treat it as a modern day preserved railway (like the Great Central, for example) which has a "mainline" connection (like the Nene Valley Railway, Swanage Railway etc), you can treat it as a modern day passenger/freight branch line with retro signalling (there are routes remaining in the UK which still use semaphore signals, or a mixture of semaphores and colour lights) or finally you can treat it as a 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's route by removing a couple of the more modern items (there's not many). In fact, the route probably represents the transition between old and new signalling very well.
The power station branch is entirely colour light signals, but the rest is semaphores. Personally, I treat the route as a 2-track freight only branchline, and treat the depot as a mini preserved railway / heritage centre. One station acts as a closed one, whilst the other is part of what I call the "heritage centre". There's also a siding round the back of the "heritage centre" which is part of a small scrap yard.
The route features:
*Modern and retro signalling
*Modern speedboards throughout (remove/replace as necessary, if you wish to use the route outside of it's intended era)
*A railway heritage centre (retro station, loco/rolling stock repair depot, sidings, car park)
*Nice amount of track to explore, with lots of pointwork
*Power station with it's own branch line, diverging off the main network
*Portal with minimal amount of "clutter" around it, to allow for easy merging with other routes. Portal also acts as tunnel leading to the "national network".
*Large amount of detail nearest to the track
*Three signalboxes to support signalling system (two open, one closed)
*Realistic track, trees, scenery, vegetation etc
I may add a bit more to it, but essentially the route is finished. An extension to it could be built in the future though. Am hoping to release it on Friday, subject to the usual disclaimers. Will try and post some more screenies later or tomorrow, anyway

Well Harcourt, you made the Along UTA Lines, so who made the UTA 0-6-0 and 2-6-4?:udrool:Nice shots everyone.
Thanks emo, glad you're liking the route, I see you're exploring it well!
Dave, yes you're correct, I recreated the Connolly Station area, with those junctions. The scenery isn't very accurate though, as is the route, its a shorterned version of what it is in real life.
Here are some shots of the station, again based roughly on Connolly.
Trainmonkey, the 2-6-4 tank isn't available, one day it will be released but not at the moment, not sure what 0-6-0 you're refering to.

Hi Ciaran,
It is a joy watching your screenshots. I hope we may see many more.

End of steam on them Ole Valley
Great shots everyone here are a few from me.
A Class 24 leaves Gainsborough with the 10:20 down train to Olemouth.
A 8F pulls an up train after the Class 24 failed. I feel sorry fro the passengers of this 8F as it is unbalanced. As can be seen it has a fowler tender after it had its tender switched with a Jubilee.
From under the Canopy at Gainsborough we see the arrival of the 10:45 from Olemouth hauled by a Class 26.
9F 92029 with the 10:55 down parcels train to Olemouth.
Here we see the lines last J69 hauling the only train in 1967 to go to Templebay.
