Wycombe Railway & Joint Line [Historical]

[/IMG]

My 2020 project for TRS19. Seeking any useful info on line construction.
It will be a steam route and made as prototypical as I can manage. If you are aware of anything that might help then I'd appreciate input.

Cheers,
Val.

Getting past my bedtime......Best of luck with your project...........

Update: Hi Val Glad to hear...........And you see here, there are others who are very knowledgeable.........This Forum for me has been a wealth of information, and friends for a lifetime..........Take care.......

Well now you have impressed me Blue. What can I say but many thanks.
If all that read this thread give me 5% of what you have I'll be a happy as Larry.

Will not be an easy task but I'll give it my best shot. Have always fancied doing an oldie steam route. Six months, or more, from now we shall see.

Cheers,
Val.

Wow! What an amazing project. It is so rare for an historic Uk steam era route to be proposed by anyone for Trainz and I will be very much looking forward to progress with this project.

Thanks KotangaGirl judging by some initial research it'll surely be challenging.
Will be thankful to anyone that can provide even the smallest detail.

Regards,
Val.

Dear Val,

The GCR route includes the portion of the joint GCR/GWR line from Ashendon Junction. I have tried to model the section southwards to just south of Princes Risborough (see GCR V15) and intend to go to High Wycombe and beyond at some time in the future!!!! I do hope that you are able to make good progress with your overall project and have lots of fun.

Regards,

Peter

Cheers Peter,
Just had a quick look over your description re GCR V15 and looks like quite a job you have done. I see it is available for 19 so will download it for a better look at your exhaustive work. As for the Wycombe project it'll most likely take me a week or so of research before putting cursor to baseboard [so-to-speak]. Looks like Maidenhead a good place to start.

Cheers,
Val.
