Hi, Do you have any use for a section of a night train arriving from Coates via Redbanks at Cairndow at 2:45-ish and 5:45-ish? Direction westwards. The return trips would leave Cairndow 22:50-ish and 1:50-ish eastwards. The 2:45/1:50 terminate at Coates while the 5:45/22:50 terminate at Bordele - t...

Mahlzeit, Please read the first message in this thread to familiarize yourself with the idea of a teamwork. ahh yes, especially: Avoid unnecessary dispatcher messages (the yellow phone), either by keeping your trains on time always and forever, or by disabling late and missed departure notification...

Hello, i would like to join this project. This is my first teamwork. I would like to build Haydon town for the beginning. Welcome! I look forward to see your creations on our shared map :) Please read the first message in this thread to familiarize yourself with the idea of a teamwork. All necessar...

Version 30 has been uploaded! Introducing the eastern half of Montspoor with hundreds of kilometres of new railway lines! Currently in operation is only R71 from Bordele to Penmarch and R77 on a branch line from Medis. Schedules for IC and stopping services from Coates to Bordele are ready, as are s...

Yes, of course! The eastern part of Montspoor is seen here with labels. Also note the future rail ferry between Ferryden and Selden




The full map of Montspoor can be seen here. You can open the image for full resolution:

Don't worry about the lack of updates from my side. I am hard at work behind the scenes (some may call it cheating :shhh: ). Hundreds of kilometres of new track with stations, speed limits, curves, and even some signals are soon coming to the main layout file. You can have a sneak peek here: https:/...

It may be quiet, but it is not dead :) Progress on the eastward expansion of Montspoor is underway. This mountainous country flattens out considerably in the east, but so, too, seems the population density. Lots of open space. Railway services expected to start in 2025 probably :whistle: Not all lin...

[... IR20] Do you need tilting trains for your part? No, it will not be necessary. With two stopping services per hour there will not be capacity for extra fast trains :) Maybe a train a couple of times per day to Pembroke from Cairndow via Henley could use that connection? But that's an issue for ...

Hi ho, [...] Are you planning to extend my IR20 Inverfyne (city) – Kidderminster Town – Bromsgrove – Redditch & Studley – Henley-in-Arden into Montspoor (to Camrose, Trimsaran and Redbanks)? In this case, it might be useful to decide on a common kind of rolling stock. IR20 would be extended to ...

7-9 coaches would probably be maximum length on IC4. ordinary IC4 + 7-9 coaches of Ski train? Total length not exceeding 7-9 coaches. I don't know where the mail train hub will be or what times they will go. Somewhere where you can make a fast getaway in all directions. The area between Guard’s Roa...

[…] if it is not coupled as extra coaches on IC4. I assume that there isn’t room for 7 to 9 coaches when coupled on IC4? Or the IC4 could be extended too - but then it wouldn't be a private operator train, but a Montspoor Railways train extended to you. 7-9 coaches would probably be maximum length ...

A maximum speed of 160 kph is definitely to be preferred, but 140 kph would work. 120 kph is too slow unless it should be overtaken by other trains - this would increase journey times significantly. OK. I didn’t throughly check your engineer’s line reference and simply assumed that a line through t...

[...] I’m certainly not opposed to through coaches or additional, earlier trains from further away (or later evening trains to further away) – e. g. onto a ferry. Nor to competing trains with other liveries. Some more trains may be added later then - but it will not be until the eastern parts of Mo...

Tagchen, as we are all interested in the well-being of our propserous citizens, a local private railway is planning to operate open-access trains to shuttle locals and tourists for day trips and longer holidays into the Cairngorms (famous for hiking and skiing ⛷🎿⛷️⛸🛷🥾): Ski-Trains.png Matias, if yo...

First of all, my apologies for hogging the build schedule. Unfortunately, there was a planning mistake which lead to trains bumping into each other. We can't have that, can we? So a lot of tweaking and testing in my limited spare time had to be done. But here it is, fixed version 27. Oh, and R44 is ...
