Moderator: senjer

Do you want to be able to run tube trains on the line to Ongar again?

Yes, from Epping to Ongar, so occiasional tube trains, or 'full-tube-service' are possibilities.

Yes, but only halfway; no further then North Weald.

No, I'd rather have it un-electrified as is exists in reality.

as i can see the edge of the map i think this image is taken looking south towards debden which means all the scenary is on the wrong side of the track. the triangle car park and housing is on the western side of the station.
I build this based on what I see on Google Maps, so it looks correct to me: https://goo.gl/maps/xmj1ZnS85APZd8ZZ9
And yes, looking in the direction Epping.

ATO or classic signalling? With ATO signalling you'll get 3-aspect signals that show red, white 'proceed under coded manual or ATO only' or green 'entire section is clear to next signal' and intermediate signals are left out.

What Grade of Automation would this route be if that was the case? Between GoA2 and GoA3.

I would like to place those ATO signals, as that matches reality here. Are there any special settings I need to take care of for that?

I didn't feel like doing activities and testing today..... But I did have time to work on the route, so.... I decided to extend the line to Debden. :D
Tracks were already in place, so it is mostly scenery that needs work.

Around 70-80% scenery done, and signalling installed. Due to the extension, the temporary reversing switch I mentioned earlier at Theydon Bois (needed to reverse there if the route ended there) was removed again.
