EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY...

The Railway like so many other rural lines fell under the hammer of Dr Beeching, or most of it did, tne branch line from the East Coast Main line via the old Willoughby Junction to Skegness still survives, albeit single track.

I have tried to be faithful to the 1960`s era within the limitations of BVE, as I have said before this is a first attempt at coding a route, having started very late on in the time span that railway simulation has been around. Dennis Lance`s tutorial was most definately the genesis of my attempt. It was just reading, understanding and doing, not that easy at my
age.

One of the biggest problems i had was trying to hand code a route ( i couldnt get routebuilder to work)  that was completely flat and making it look right, I still dont think it does but its a start.
 
The ELR had the second longest straight stretch of track in the country and there were in fact only four bridges on the whole of the route between Boston and Skegness including the Mablethorpe loop to Louth. I chose this route mainly because I live in the area and secondly most of the infrastructure still exists, necessary for the object making for that period.

The whole route is almost complete but i will be making it available in stages. 

The first being the one of the local servives between Willoghby ( whose claim to fame was the largest station complex in the middle of nowhere ) and Mablethorpe. Some somersault signals survived until the closure I am told....

When i do finally release this first diagram (end of March at the latest ) please read the credits, i would not have been able to do this without the help of certain people.

Please dont expect too much at this first go, i will get better...
