As some of you know I started the Winchester and Western route a couple of years back, the idea being it would be a donation ware route to help support the web site. Wally did all of the track work which is done. I proceeded to put down scenery for months and got kind of burned out on it.
What I'm looking for is some folks to help out getting this thing done. If you are interested contact me by PM. If you raise your hand there will be no pressure to stay with this until the end just for as long as you're having fun.
Any questions either here or by PM.

Hi Buzz,
Could you please give us more information on this route i.e. Era, geographical context, length etc. and what help is most needed.

See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=24617
I have the Gore to Winchester pretty much done including the town of Winchester but the rest of it has yet to have scenery put down on it. Track is finished and no signalling.

A few shots from Winchester that I have been working on the last few days.

Where do I start?

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.

If you go south of Winchester down where the branch to Gore starts you will see the scenery ends. Just work you way South. I'm going north. Do you need a list of assets I'm using?

Yes please, would be useful. If I have to use others I'll let you know. I'm doing a "Route Markers" file. I've included all sidings and spurs (having identified the industry where possible).

I will be glad to produce a number of scenarios. Unfortunately, I have zero experience with route building.

Stand by for a bit while we get a few things organized and one of us will get in touch.
