To complete the work on my Tyne Valley project, I'm going to need to use rather more handcoding than I've done in the past. So, to get my self "up to speed", I've revisited my Aln Valley route for BVE 4. The main improvements are:
- Working semaphore signals: you'll need to have the BR Semaphore pack from trainsim central installed (thanks as ever to the team there). This includes a couple of distant signals - helps to enforce the speed limits!. (Hope I've placed them far enough ahead of the signals they refer to). The semaphores are probably a bit "over the top" for a preserved railway which will probably use the "one engine in steam" principle, but it's more entertaining!
- The timetable has been "eased", and runs include the class 104 DMU (the BVE 2 unit can be modified if you haven't already) and the Class 37 loco.
- Improved scenery: I've revisited some objects to make them work better. I've added "period" enamel signs to stations. I've added more passengers. I've revised some trackside signs. I've corrected much of the diverging tracks so they look better.
And so, I have no excuse now not to finish the Tyne Valley....
