Railway - Trainz routes selection

Compton Magna, a fictitious route based loosely on rural GWR lines found all over the country. It has the main CM station and MPD, a coastal resort, several minor stations, a docks and other �industries� but does lend itself to adaption by the end user. Who? - that�s you, you muffin!

Cranby Town is again a fictitious line with the same characteristics as Compton Magna but in a different setting. There is plenty to occupy the adventurous mind here with organising passenger services to running freight to the many industrial and small business sites.

Cranby New Town is, as its name suggests, an updated version of Cranby Town when, after modernisation, a canal and quay network is in places near the expanded town itself. All other aspects have also been brought up-to-date with better track and services. A must!

Edward�s Town has been dedicated to the memory of my late partner (Edwards being his second name) and created during and shortly after his death. He is sadly missed. An 8-board route with several towns and smaller stations that also produce plenty of freight working including china clay. Enjoy this picturesque route.

Hayling Island. Although you can�t see my real version, this is an extremely accurate model that everybody can access. Trainz members have kindly made the Terrier locomotive and Bullied coaches that it pulled. Sadly there are no Maunsell ones, but hey, this is a great little route.

The Kent & East Sussex Railway as it was shortly after the Second World War and in full flood with 2 connections to the main lines. A highly detailed route that took a considerable amount of time and research to produce. Single line, just as it was.

Longhurst Deacon is another of my famous fictitious lines. Double tracked with plenty of action available in both passenger and freight areas. This route, as most of mine will, needs a high end spec PC to run and it is advisable to reduce both Draw Distances, the Detail Level and add full Daytime Fog in Trainz to aid running speeds, frame rates in other words.

Paddington to Reading is part of an ongoing project. It was initially meant to be Paddington to Penzance but unless somebody brings out a very powerful PC running it full length may be impossible. So it is being created in sections that can, as the user wishes, be �merged� in Trainz. This section includes the Reading station and MPD and runs out as far as Theale station and works and beyond, so quite a run. The route is in full scale and highly detailed. Enjoy.

Aleard & Hallington is another route create in memory of my partner Alan (hidden in the names). Yet it is a route nonetheless that has is very own merits and is a great little �mover� to boot. Plenty of variation and plenty to keep you busy. Double track in the main and highly detailed.

Selection Page for my Virtual Routes created in Trainz 2004 better known to many as TRS04. Although Auran brought out 2006 and a splendid program it is too, I stuck with 04 because my routes are then forward compatible. Making them in 06 would have meant all those still using the pervious program would not be able to run them and that would be a pity.
This page takes you to each route. At the bottom is a button that will move you to the Downloads page.

The next section has been underway for some time but after Alan passed away I was unable to look at it for some time. But progress is being made now, I owe it to him I feel because he always supported me in these efforts. At present just the other side if Great Bedwyn at Tibbs Green, so plenty to do yet before getting anywhere near Westbury. The section does go well past Westbury station and town.
