    Hey guys, I can't find any tram routes, even freeware ones, so using north london line as a basis, I making a freeware tram route that I will put up on the workshop. You will need north london line route and the freeware manchester metroLink tram available from:

    I've started work laying electric track in a straight line. I've sunken the track so that you can just see the silver rails and the gravel is hidden. I have placed 2 tram stations, the platforms are very low in height and are realistic...normal route's platforms come half way up the tram and are too high. Next, I'm focusing on adding concrete under the rails and roads either side of the tracks and then some basic scenery to give it a city feel. Within a couple of weeks I should have V1 ready, a sort of demo that will be there for testing from the community and feedback.

    Update: I'm using liverpool to Manchester assets now, much more suitable. It has rails only track which is ideal and I've painted the whole area in light tarmac as its going to be a city environment. I've got the platforms nice and low. These assets have sloping platforms and really cool modern looking shelters that come in yellow, just like the tram. It's coming together nicely. A 3 or 4 stop line will be ready soon for you to enjoy.
