Three more from my game, which has now progressed nicely after a slow start (due to brain being rusty after not playing for so long :P ).

The first shows the same Class 47-hauled Intercity service (seen above) heading towards Manchester with two Class 158 Regional Express units heading for Sheffield and a Class 321 NWT service approaching Stockport on a Manchester-Crewe service.

The second shows two Central-liveried units, a 153 and 156 from Coventry and Dudley respectively, approaching Birmingham New Street.

Finally for now, at the junction between the Manchester-Stafford route and the lines to Crewe and Sheffield, the Class 321 is held up by a Mainline-liveried Class 37 delivering food to Meadowhall Food Processing Plant near Sheffield. Really love that Class 37, one of the best IMHO! :D

Some more, getting more into my stride now (just don't scrutinise the different liveries I'm running together too much!)

In the first, a transitional Virgin train hauled by a Class 87 passes a DRS Class 33-hauled coal train.

The second shows an EWS Class 60 with a rake of iron ore wagons passing an empty food train (Intercity Class 47)

Finally, a Class 325 speeds along with its load of mail as the train seen above loads grain (not food as I said above :oops: ) and a Class 59 approaches with livestock.

Some great Eye Candy there, Martin... how do you find the scenario with the roads all pre-built?

Very nice pictures. The transitional Virgin train is rather nifty.

Thanks for the comments guys, more pics on the way soon!

I find it makes it more realistic/more of a challenge, as I'm not tempted to demolish them all as I usually tend to do with Loco - in this case I just rebuild/reroute some if I really need to. (Except maybe at Birmingham New Street where it looks like I've forgotten to rebuild some looking at my pic. :lol: )

So you are saying that you built the roads.

No, Andel built the roads, it's his Midlands Scenario (http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=492594#492594)

Sweet, reminds me of pictures of American freight trains which never seem to have an end.

Thanks, that was what i was trying to do, i would like to do a game with a few freight trains like that but imagine the loading and unloading times :shock:

train-a-mania , when there is more than the 38 or something cars it doesnt drive, the green light is on and it doesnt drive anywhere.

EDIT: this is the largest a train can get before it cant drive, it was moving at 9 - 12 kmh
