But the devs have been toying around with it for a long time. You just need to remove some codes, right ? :wink:

There were some debates on station roof height and bridge height...

It's been a while, but I'm still going with this.

Ever since the 86+Mk2 sets were withdrawn in favour of Mk1 EMUs, Uckfield line commuters have been moaning about the stock.
Perhaps these gleaming new Mk3-based 442s will make them happy?
442001 leads a 12-car formation fast through Trafford Park, squeezing between older EMUs on suburban services.

Just around the corner the junction station at Fort Matilda was getting overcrowded, preventing additional local services running through from Trafford Park. A spur has been built off the TP-FM line down to the lakeside to serve a new station on the lakeside. Tube services that formerly turned back at Trafford Park Metro station have also been extended to meet the ferries.

The freight yard and junction at Fairburn North just keeps growing.
Newish Class 60s on bulk mineral and oil trains still slog through; the container trains have been handed over to 92s and moved back to the fast lines to separate them from slow freight. The APTs on the Avonmouth line remain unique - the more recent electrification of the old Rhymney line used the cheaper 91+Mk4 sets, and the 90s now used on the Poole and Fairburn loops are only an incremental improvement on the 86s that preceded them.

Fairhaven Logistics Centre has probably the second-highest throughput of any station on the network, after the similar facility at Goxhill (or maybe third after the docks at West Calder).
Featuring clay, iron ore, coal, sand, stone, bauxite, oil, metal, petrol, farm supplies and engineering supplies, moved by ships, trains and helicopters on their way from everywhere to everywhere else. :D

Thanks Dave and Trond for the compliments. :D

Fun (?) with grade separation at Botley Junction. There's a reason I mostly stick to flat crossings. :P

St Ives is the final passenger station on a branch from Reading (freight trains continue down to Ockendon). A pair of Turbostars roll into the small town's single bay platform.

Class 67s are a pretty pointless locomotive. They were built for high speed mail services but they all got cancelled shortly after they were delivered and they've not really found a use properly since. They're mostly used on short intercity trains up to 6 coaches in length, pretty crap locos really!

If only Pikka had put the Mk3 DVTs into his set. :(

They're doing OK on the grain runs though - slow drag up the branch, but it's all downhill along the mainline to Fairburn and that extra 15mph over a 66 helps keep them ahead of IC225s.

The Victorian main station building at Reading Great Eastern survives, but all other traces of the original have been lost in a recent reconstruction. Passengers are as disgruntled as the historians - the new roofs provide far less shelter than the old plaform buildings.

The new layout has almost twice as many platforms as before, however, allowing for this lineup of trains.

A rather awkward new curve at Birmingham Junction allows trains from east of the city to continue through to South Gyle. It's the only location on the network where passenger trains turn 180 degrees within their own length, as demonstrated by a pair of brand-new Voyagers on a London to South Gyle service.
Older HSTs on Eaglescliffe/Plumpton <-> Birmingham/Glaisdale trips are also in evidence, as are a few airliners and a tube train.

Another pair of Voyagers speed over the SXCFML on their way down the hill from Limehouse. The 221s' tilt capability is handy for the sharp curves on this stretch.

The track is NuTracks, but I checked before my last post and they look the same to me. :wink:

That's the reserve one, built to take some of the load after the first one got overloaded...also, that's the quieter half of it! :roll:
Double-headed 92s really do keep things moving though. :D
