Looks fantastic, I started modelling the Beeston junction area in Leeds hoping to build the section to Hunslet goods for somewhere to run the J50 & J94, Unfortunately I couldn't find any gradient profiles so that one is on hold for now

I've been working on this one again,with considerable progress in recent weeks. The route map shows the current scale of track,with the Midland Main Line forming the spine of the route,from the bottom of the map image can be seen Carlton North Yard,Royston MPD,Monckton Coke Works and yards,Royston Junction (with the line towards Crigglestone diverging),the area around Walton where the GN main line to Leeds/Doncaster goes underneath,Sharlston West Colliery (Walton Colliery) and then Oakenshaw Junctions. To the east of there the former L&Y line to Goole features as far as Featherstone,and includes the collieries at Sharlston,Snydale East and Ackton Hall.

Below are some screenshots of progress so far.

Map of the route.

Walton,with Sharlston West pit visible and MML at the foreground of the image. The GN line towards Doncaster can also be seen.

Cheers,

A couple of further images:

Royston from the up side sidings,looking towards Royston and Notton station,with Monckton Coke works dominating the backdrop.

A very much completely WIP image of Royston MPD,custom assets are a possibility for this area as there's nothing really suitable available,particularly for the coaling plant that Royston had!

The art of route building is truly filling in areas where there is nothing . Excellent work!

It's very long and hard work,but it's worth it to see the results,thanks!

I know. I tried my hand at route building and practically rage quit. People don't realise that every bit of clutter has to be actually planted by someone - and given consideration!

It is definitely a gift.. one I don't have I can tell you, for much the same reasons as Trabant!

Royston MPD looks superb!

Thanks Pete,though you have a much higher skill than anything related to route building,I am currently tackling the yards around Carlton and Cudworth....now that's a test!
