Hammerwich - Wood Green - BVE2

Route Overview

For those BVE stalwarts who had the old 'HST Test' route I made just after the discovery of BVE, they'll remember the basic nature of it. I'd been meaning to upgrade the route for some time, so here we are.

The route starts in the fictional Hammerwich, a sub-surface though station, line speeds rise to 125mph in parts, and ending up some 45km later at the station of Wood Green-on-the-Sea.

The mainlines are fitted throughout with  MkIII overhead line equipment, signalling, points, and smooth curves. A huge thanks to master craftsman Anthony Bowden of >Rail Sim Routes UK< for giving permission to use these objects.

We have a wide range of daylight, traction, and timing options from a local class 323, Semi express class 321, Semi fast 357, HST, Voyager and class 87 Express routes. Right though to Midnight Empty Stocks and Mail runs using either the class 87 or the newer class 325. You'll pass a wide range of Midlands based traction from 150's, 153's, 156's, 170's, 323's, HST's, Voyagers, Class 87's and 90's.

Some routes will give little scenarios, giving information on any delays you may get, there may be equipment failure too!

Station names are very loosely based on Midlands towns and stations. Some of which were closed in the Beeching era.

Expect some artistic licence though; who heard of a seaside near Wood Green (Wednesbury) - which is deep in the heart of the industrious Midlands 'Black Country'!
