Ben and I have started on our first route!
It's very loosely based on UK assets and rolling stock, but we're not too bothered about using assets from other countries if we like them, as we aren't planning to spend months and months trying to re-create a real line/town etc.
I would like to add gantries for electric locos, and signals...but there are so many UK options for both in TRS2006 surveyor I have no idea which types of each should be used where (OK...I know I said we're not bothered being too faithful to reality, but I'd like to make a reasonably authentic if poss!).
Can someone point me to some info on what types of signals are used in what situations, and again which gantry types are used where? Also, some help with which markers/signals etc are used in goods and marshalling yards would be very useful.
Last question...someone said that track should be laid in the "normal" direction of travel to make sure AI works properly. Is this essential...what happens if some is laid the wrong way round? What about if you have a double track 1 up and 1 down...1 of these will always be in the wrong direction for AI?
Thanks,
Nige
