Been looking at BRT and noticed:

The Aldwych branch of the Piccadilly Line has been announced. This project was kept quiet in case it fell through, but never fear, it is here! The line closed in 1994, but still remains there, with the old Aldwych station being used for filming and private parties occasionally . This route is written by Kelvin Liu. Click here for details.

I have also decided, as a conciliation for the Jubilee Line being put back, and also an Easter treat, to work on the Harcroft route again. I have always loved this line, as it reminds me of the railways lines around where I live, so I have got lots of ideas for it. The route is being extended to Colliers Head via Great Chaswater, an extra few miles of scenic line to drive on. To allow for more diagram possibilities, I have added a special freight loop, and freight-only line (which is not drivable). This has allowed me to create diagrams using the Class 66 and various other locomotives. Click here for details.

I must thank Eezypeazy for lots of the objects, and BillEWS for lots of help with the signaling side of things. A lot of the update has been with textures, which I have changed to photographic ones, taken by myself. The track in parcticular has been redone, and I am very pleased with it!

:thumbup: At last! Something free, downloadable and enjoyable is expected later in the week! I've been waiting since christmas for something!

When it's released which will hopefully be "Sometime this week" as Rich has said I will be pleased to announce :toothy1: What a splendid route it is!

I think.......... :albino:

The 185 looks a bit out of place, as it has reflections of being inside (I say manchester picc?) when its placed outside.

Very nice screenies though! Keep them coming.

I actually agree there! If there weren't no reflection it would look great but at the moment it looks like the *Space Station* is falling down and the reflection is hitting a 185! :tongue: :duckie:

If you start posting like that then why do they bother?
Its not their job to make BVE add ons so what has the working week got to do with things?

I can wait...I have both patience and faith in Rich ;)

Anyway, the longer it takes, the better it will be! :D

I've deleted some posts from here. Nath9425 Be patient. It will be released when the creator decides to release it.

And, perhaps release has been intentionally delayed due to todays date, Friday 13th:?:

Nath, you are really begining to get one my nerves. Every time I mention any kind of release estimate, you take it as set in stone, and if I don't release it at that time, you have a go.

People like you are the likes who make BVE developers think "F**k it, why bother" :roll:

On a lighter note, not much to do on Harcroft, and should be out next week sometime. :)

I agree Rich.

If an Author hasn't set a release date and not said anything about a release date, then why ask?

nath9425 a prime example of not knowing when to shut up....
