Would be good, specially when we get more trains to play with. So you don't have to use a 166 on a local Perservation/Heritage service.

when I get my copy, I'm going to be making a route, for the classic steam trains, but diesels can run along it.
Route has progressed quite far so I'll ruin it for you all 
Damon, you were very close and Tom that's why im doing it in this way.
It's a branch based very loosely on the St Albans Abbey branch, in an area similar to Epping Forest.
Starting at a country terminus with sidings (and refueling facilities for diesel and steam trains).
After leaving the terminus you pass through a residential area and then delve straight into the forest. When the trees clear you are given a clear view of the preservation society's yard including sheds and turntable.
Fast services can speed through the first station, or stopper services can be looped into the platform. After re-joining the mainline you pass the crossover points to the heratige railway, (frequently used for excursions...), round the bend and enter they valleys, opening up to a 125mph speed limit - a perfect place to open up those valentas on the early morning commuter services.
Screenies to come in the next few days...

I love the 43000! :P
This bug has been identified and will be fixed in the upcoming official patch.
As for the screenies Dan, looking good! I like the line idea of scraping through the lineside veg(etation)

That Route is excellent!
Thanks
Haven't been able to work on it recently as I have been away/busy, but I am still working on it. Getting quite used to the editor. Will post some new screenies when another section is looking OK
Dan when the editor comes out we can see some proper routes/traction

:? I hope nobody else who has posted screenshots of their routes takes offense from this comment. I certainly did.

The editor IS out, came with the game. Also, people are already hard at work at building routes and stock. 444 here is already mucking into what looks to be a great route! And someone on another forum completing a great 158.

So Daniel do you think Routes could be built in weeks rather than months Now!?, or if someone was actually trying to model a true to life route would that be just as time consuming as MSTS?Thanks

Depends on the quality as you said, if you want to model say the Midland Mainline in good detail, it would take you much longer than a small single track branch line. But after playing around a bit, its certainly easier and quicker than MSTS to build routes!
