A GNER HST service arrives at Durham on a dull autumn morning. Any RS/RW users notice anything different here?

Wow, looking fantastic!

Not had a look at this thread much lately, been swamped with other stuff away from the PC/laptop, but just got up to date and brilliant stuff.

Keep it up!

Cheers Chaps. Andy, all will become apparent in due course. ;)

An NXEC HST storms past the Sidings Hotel, Shipton.

Cheers Andy.

Here are some scenes taken from what may well form part of a scenario included with Newcastle to York "Modern". :)

Glistening in the early morning sunshine, 43319 leads 1A11 - Newcastle to London Kings Cross. The service is being given the road on to the slow lines at Tursdale due to over-running weekend engineering works on the main line.

Passing under "Metal Bridge", the name given to the nearby group of houses and the small bridge that passes under at this point and not the newer concrete structure passing overhead although it also is locally known by the same name. The eagle eyed of you will note that this was not present in the original route.

Snaking off the main line and obeying the 30mph limit, Metal Bridge and "The Poachers" public house are visible in the background. Some years ago, there was a small ride along railway in the garden of the pub.

The cause of the problems, could it be that there was far too much tea drinking going on overnight?

A Class 220 "Voyager" passes in the other direction. The delays caused by this over-run are not too bad at the moment but unless things are cleared up, the services will start to stack up due to there being only one track on both entrance and exit of the slow lines. Despite this, 1A11 can still expect to arrive in Darlington 4-5 minutes late.

Looks good, I thought Rail Simulator was pretty accurate in some respects. More than railworks. But yours looks very accurate, how much is left to do?
