Chiltern Railways

[Woodyleonhard]

Categorised as easy, deliver 50,000 passengers using rails only
requires the BR set from amitrains and earthslopes from steves locomotion cache (web names in readme)

The first one requires WinRAR but a .zip is underneath.

Screen shots would be great.

Sounds like fun, but it would be good to see the screenies too.

Just downloaded this, its just a random generated map with the Chiltern 166s as the only vehicles. Not even any place name changes. Not good I'm affraid.

Yep I d/led last night. Not much value added here!

Sorry about the names , ill do one with a few more trains, buses and for liking (and cash) trams. and ill need a route map
(:;goes to google...;:).
PS: why would it be called chiltern (drums and ding)

I'd suggest looking at the Midlands Scenario or the Southern England Scenario to see an idea of what a map should be about.

So no Class 47's with mark two stock, no 31's doing Claydon Binliners? so absolutely nothing based on the Real Chiltern rail with the shared access with LUL?

Ive got a line - curve thingy off wikipedia, ive done the line from Marylebone to aylesbury.
So I present to All locomotion lovers (like me) Chiltern Railways v 1.1 Beta!

Hate to tell you this, sadly its not anywhere close to accurate.

People play with accurate maps to replicate accurate routes and enjoy trying to do what the real world can't - make money.

Try doing a map of somewhere new.... like South East UK or the North of England?

i know, i only went from seer green to wembley for leeds vs doncaster and i cant really remember what the track was like.
ill have a look at the midlands.
ps one more attempt, then scrapping (doing sumthing else)

Go to your local model shop and invest in a copy of the video by 125 productions for the Claydon Binliner run from Northolt to Calvert, sit down watch it and take notes, your map misses out one of the fundamental sights of the run and that is the brick arch viaduct over the four lanes of the M25 let alone the divergence of the up and down lines north of High Wycombe.
I'm not picking holes for the sake of it, but I think Andel would agree that when you put out a scenario based upon places people know on a daily basis you have to be accurate or flack like this will fly pretty fast and thick!

Surely the best way to design it would be to put Marylebourne in the SE Corner of the map, then run out north westward to High Wycombe, and then turn northward to eventually Birmingham in the NW corner. Then towards the NE of the map put the Aylesbury branch, perhaps ending up at Rugby at the North West, so we have the option to restore the start of the old Great Central mainline if we want. Make all the terrain flat to begin with with the terrain generator, then raise land for the Chiltern Hills where the hills are and put in any relevant rivers.

I don't even know this area that well, but thats how I would approach it. Use a proper map, such as an atlas for guidance.
