The Todo list

If you would like things added to the Big Build let me know and maybe it'll be added.

The Main Line

It's my aim with the main line to remember that in the 1960's many real rail lines were removed. In-fact around 3/4's of the UK's train network was completely wripped up. There is a line in the UK that shows evidence of this today. A large part of this line is dead straight(ish) but then suddenly it wiggles around and has many turns. The straight part of this line would have been a main line. It would have gone far beyond where the wiggle starts. The wiggle would have been a branch line coming off the main line. At some point part of the main line beyond the off-shoot was removed creating what we have today.

And so this is going to be the center point of our main line. A fast 4 track line going through at least 3 towns and then just beyond the last of these there'll be points leading to a branch line. Beyond the points on the main line we'll see the tracks being wripped up by workmen.

The branch line will have two tracks and some wiggles. It will lead town to a size-able town with a freight port.

Things to note...

  1. The sea level is quite a bit lower than the level at the main city. The main line will need to have gradual slope with a larger slope required on the branch line
  2. The branch line and main line should be thought as as one single line. They will just be made to look separate.
  3. The intention is to be able to run both passenger and freight traffic along the line.
  4. The main line will need to turn back on itself some what in order to make sure the Coastal route branch line between Perran Sands and the New Freight terminal at the main lines terminal is not too long.

Things to Add

  1. A freight station near/ outside the main city
  2. Large engine sheds and sidings
  3. A fly-over of some sort. A branch line comes off of the main line and then bridges over. The line will likely go to a portal
  4. A new bus line/ service / station visible from the actual train. The bus will be a train and run on a session
  5. A canal with boats. The boat will be a train and run a session. The canal will likely enter into one of the towns.
  6. A tunnel near to the city. This could be used as a portal on the Perran sands session so main line trains don't run too far.

The Coastal Route

This line will run between the terminus of the main line and Perran Sands. It will run along the coast as a single track windy branch line.

Things to note

  1. There will be some passing areas on the line.
  2. It is the aim to run two small passenger and one freight train.
  3. There will be at least 2 villages in-between the terminus stations
  4. There will be a separate narrow gauge railway as part of the line. This is freight only

Things to Add

  1. A freight station between the narrow gauge and branch line
  2. A Hill top mine of some sort where the narrow gauge will collect freight from
  3. Cliffs, tunnels

I can't promise that your ideas will be used but if they are good then who knows.
