I have started to build the Blackpool Tramway Route. The route will have 32 stops and a depot at Rigby Road. When i have laid the tracks and roads, i will mail the route to Fred (member of the UKTrainSim forum) in Great Britain, who will do the special buildings and objects for the route.Info about the real thing:
The tramway in Blackpool (in Great Britain) opened for traffic 29 September 1885, and in 15 July 1898 the extension of the line to Fleetwood opens. The length of the line is now 18 kilometers long, the gauge is 1435mm and the line voltage is 550v DC. The line has 75 cars (Double deck and Single deck). The track and overhead wires are owned by Blackpool Borough Council, and the cars are owned by Blackpool Transport. Look here (for pics of real Blackpool trams):

RE: Blackpool Tramway Route.

I think you'll find it's been split into two to fit on the picture. The two halves join together at the red dot.All we need now is a Balloon car to go along with the 1937 Brush Car we've already got

RE: Blackpool Tramway Route.

Hi!Just wanna tell you all tram/trolley lovers, that Freddie now has the base route. And is going to correct my misstakes and put in the scenery in it (watch out for lots of custom objects!).Here a couple of pics (the trams are made by qzdcg8):
