Hi All
Sorry for no pictures but I want to announce the future of the Southlines route.
Some of you may have noticed that I have had the assistance and encouragement of FootplatePhil in updating the latest edition of Southlines. I shortened the route so that Phil could add that part from Young to the north to Weddin and I think you will all agree that he did a terrific job updating the section he took over, it really looks good to me.
My Trainz experience is that I get enthusiastic for a while, then drop off and then come back, those who have followed the development of Southlines over the years will have noticed this. So I asked Phil if he would be interested in “taking over” Southlines to permanently merge with Weddin and he has agreed.
So Southlines will be merged by Phil and come under his creative control and reappear as Weddin Demondrille or some-such title under Phil's Kuid and with my full agreement.
Like everyone else I can still make sessions if I wish based on Phil's new map.
If I decide to use part of the tracks of the old Southlines as part of something I make in the future under another title then I can.
You have all seen Phil's screenshots and he really has a good eye for the country and he also is great at the trackside detail stuff.
I am confident that Southlines is going to get better in Phils capable hands, even if it isn't called that anymore.
Phil will continue to add to the Trainz journey.
I will still be hanging about, but not making big projects.
There is some great work going on here, congratulations everyone.
Stay safe,
Tom
