![]() ![]() ![]() Originally I had made custom environmental sound files for the route which had to be ditched, and some of my texturing for the liveries had to be simplified to allow the route to load! I did manage to get our "Cravens" coaches to leak steam though without causing the 'pooter to crash! It ended up being released in two halves, partly because we were making the route part-time but also because the route tested the available computer processing at the time, especially as the original MSTS was a bit clunky in the way it handled the files. ![]() Ballyshannon, there's a blast from the past! I was co-author of the route, along with Andy Dunnett, who made the models, and Gordon Mackenzie whose Ruabon-Barmouth route was adapted by me to make a fictional Irish route (ironically several years after I did the conversion I moved to the area and am now involved in the Dolgellau model railway exhibition which on Ballyshannon became Belleek!) We didn't pull Ballyshannon because we moved on to make the Enterprise route, it had served it's purpose and we felt that by making an actual real-life route for MSTS that there would be less interest in a fictional route, especially as the models which had been made as freeware (like the 80 class) were upgraded, with new sound effects, colour schemes, interiors and the like.Īndy, Gordon and myself together with Dave Babb and Sean Geoghan were the "creatives" behind the Enterprise route, which features models of the 80 class, 450 class, 29000 and C3K units, 141, 121, 201, 071 and Hunslet locos, and an 81xx DART emu. ![]()
