As I don't live in Victoria anymore I have lost interest in modeling its railways rather doing something completely different and Building a QR route and rolling stock.
To build a route it takes a massive investment of time and there is too little of that to go around.

G'day Guys,
I cast my vote for the Belgrave Line.
Just two questions:
1. It what era (year) will this be modeled?
2. If the Belgrave Line route is made, the line will go from Belgrave - Where?

Thanks for giving us the chance to vote for something we would be very interested in helping and, in the end, downloading it :D

Cheers, :wink:
Matt Oaten

In that you mean the Lilydale line.
You could also then continue from Lilydale to Healsville if you are feeling a little ambitious :lol:

Why not just do both the Lilydale and Belgrave lines?

These things take a lot of time and effort. I myself do not know the exact time but I know that some modelers take extreme care to make sure that their models are to the standard that we would all enjoy. If we kept barking orders for people who make these models, the modelers would be sure to stop making these or only use for private use. I myself have seen what has happened when people 'expect' to much from the modelers when Magandy UKBL stopped making Thomas The Tank Engine Models for anouther simulator.
Please in the future, do not put the modelers under pressure because what they do is a massive thing which takes hours and hours of time and they give some of the models out for free.

Thanks, :wink:

Hi All,
The Adelaide, Hills and South East route took over 5,500 hours across 3 years - yes, it is a huge route of around 1,300 kms with somewhere in excess of 1,500 custom built objects, but that gives an idea of the amount of time route building takes.

Matt, thanks for your wisdom.
Cheers
