calm down dear.....

if it says Part 1, usually it's followed by part 2 or 3 otherwise it would just be called the WCML?

Can you not be so rude please? I think they were getting at the fact that East Coast Express came out in about 3 parts, when originally it suggested it would be released as one product. EB then charged a fair amount for each!

I think you're the one who has misunderstood - it was never suggested that this would be part 10, but part 1 (of a possible 10!). Please think about what you're saying before you shout and swear :roll:

I had a go on ECE and I couldn't recognise anything. York station looked like a mid-1990s computer game representation of York station, but I can't say I recognised much else, until Doncaster which was just the same. I then had a go on Hitchin-King's Cross which was the same story, and then uninstalled it without bothering to see Donny-Hitchin as I was too bored. I never, for one second, 'felt' remotely like I was driving the train (unlike e.g. CrossCity for BVE), and the sounds made by the trains was nothing like the real thing.

London to Brighton was silly. The fact that they think a branch line (toward Streatham Hill) at Balham is signalled as the main line just sums it up. When I saw that, I just laughed and that's not even my local area! I realised then, that it had a) not been researched properly, and b) not tested properly.

So unless WCML is on a different level altogether I couldn't see myself paying for this. Just my thoughts on EurpaeunBhaun's products.

BTW I found this funny:

Order your copy today and get 2 months Premier membership to the UK 's most popular community website UKTrainsim + an additional 6 activities absolutely FREE !
Please Note that any order placed after Midnight on the 7th a day later that originally advertised will not be entitled to this Offer !

Nice!!!!!

Let alone running through Coventry.
I think you mean a service from Euston.

There May have been a padd to Bham service at sometime in the past because I have a book about Class 40s & it shows the The Thames Clyde express at BNS bound for London Paddington , I am not sure if this was a one off or a regular service

Yes Tom they did a while back. I just thought as EB have created
all routes that are still in use, he may have meant Euston.

PBO looks similar to the real thing, except there's no line to March, the branch to the Nene Valley is in the wrong place and appears to be electrified!

I thought that Hornsea/Bounds Green/Ferme Park (whatever area it is) looked completely wrong indeed!

I'll wait for MidEast Plus to come out for a proper ECML run :p and might get Thames Mersey 4.2 DVD for a proper WCML experience!

Haha I have to say I dont think anyone is suprised by this! I dont understand why they announce their products so early! I mean they have said they're going to create the 'Midland Mainline' but i doubt that'll be out for a good few years!
