The Bristol Rail Project: New Beginnings


The Bristol Rail Project


I'm writing to give you trainsim lovers something that I think many of you will enjoy to here I am creating the former rail network that once ran around the city. The project is still in its very early stages But I hope that I can keep it going consistently and keep you guys updated with what's happening. Currently I am using the JT Bristol to Exeter route as the template and changing the track and scenery back to 1950-60's era.

The track I have changed so far is Bristol Temple Meads now has 15 platforms the track for Redcliff and Bristol Harbour have been put into place, Bristol St. Phillips is Back along with St Phillips yard and Barrow Road locomotive shed and Avonside Wharf. Dr. Days and Kingsland Road sidings have been added Lawrence Hill Now has 4 platforms. Also The track to Portishead, Bath Green Park (Via Mangotsfield) and Bath Spa have been laid. here are a couple of pics of what I have created so far.
