Lucky man - I wish I'd seen it in those days.
My Gran used to live in Combs in the late 60's to early 70's, but I was a wee nipper then. My memories are from the 1980's with 40s, 25s and 20s on the hopper runs which left quite an impression. But by then the quadruple track had gone of course.
Glad you like it, I'm having a whale of a time doing it.

Is this on the St Pancras-Leeds line?
Work is still progressing on this route. I now have track laid and graded down to Blackwell Mill and Buxton, with the scenics starting to come together. The western end seems to have extended a bit too, with New Mills Central and Strines added.......
Here's a selection from the last few weeks.

Just a "heads up", and relatively minor given how good the shots are...
In the time period modelled, train reporting numbers indicating freight ran from 4 (55-60mph) through 9 (30-35 mph). The ones in the driver command didn't come into use until 1969.

Thanks - yep it is in compatability mode TS2009 (SP1). It looks OK in TS2010 native too, but some of the trees turn shadowy/transparent and would need replacing.
I'm preferring to just keep building it for the moment, rather than faff around with patches, or moving over the route-building to TS2010. Hopefully some more pics soon, though I'm alternating between three different routes at present.

Progress?
Hi Stovepipe. Have you had a chance to make any progeress on your Chinley and Peak Forest route?
I noted in another post that you have a Stainmore route. I am thinking of having a go at building that route from Penrith and Tebay to Barnard Castle. Do you plan to upload yours? Or perhaos a few pics?
