Tommy Main Colliery

Great idea for a route. Not sure about the name. Percy Main was not named for the first or Christian name of Percy. It was named after the Percy or de Percy family who were one of the main landowners in the North East of England since the Norman conquest. Actually William de Percy came to England a year after King William I, in 1067.

ok

ok but when you relese tell me whats it under (routes,steam,woodhead)

What about "Tommy Main Colliery Extension"?

ok but can you name it Tommy main Colliery V2

Hi there. I hope you don't mind, but I have modified the Collary (more loading/unloading points, and added cars and locomotives in a free-roam), and am working on expanding it with another pit. I was wondering if it would be OK with you if I uploaded it here. I am sure people would enjoy it. Really, the main collary is still intact, I just slightly changed it for ease of use. I also expanded the recieving yard a little.

3. maybe put some hoppers/mineral wagons in the sidings/in the pits for us to pick up, load, or unload with a locomotive, so we don't have to bring the wagons in ourselves.
4.let us start on the reception tracks, or at the platform down the main, so we can simulate bringing cars in from the main line/workers to the pits from the main line.

Those would be great, and wouldn't take long to add/modify the route, in my limited experience. You have a great route, but it just needs a little refining.

I have the route back the way it was. After driving the route a few times, I would like to give you some suggestions, that, IMO, would make the route more fun,and add more shunting possibilities. (sorry if I am getting annoying)
1. Give us a place to unload the coal cars on the reception tracks. It is annoying to have to do it only 3 cars at a time because the track with the unloader is so short.
2. make the switch on the middle track at the transfer yard player-controllable, so we can runaround our trains there. (Like the train just brought a rake of loaded cars from the mine, and is going to run around the train so it can go back for more loaded cars.)

hi sergeant_oddball if you delite the route it shoud reappear and i am in the prosecc of making a career scinario
bye

cool. can you please fix that bad bit before Pit 2? I can't even make it around it at 3 mph, with a train.
