My swedish is not that good, so I am writing in english (I can understand swedish though, so you don't have to reply in english)
Well, I know we have more train simulators coming, but I didn't want to let that hold me back, so I have begun a swedish route project. Having been in Sweden various times, I have developed a huge interest in your railways.
This gave me an idea to make the fictional KÖJ route.
So what is KÖJ?
KÖJ stands for "Kalmsholma - Östraväninge Järnväg"
The route is located in the northern part of Sweden. The mainline is going to be around 400 to 500 km. long. Other than that, there is going to be various regional lines that connects the main tracks.
The mainline itself will have double-track, so that activity builders can have more fun with AI-trains
The route starts in Kalmsholma in the south, which is going to be the biggest city on the route. Kalmsholma will have it's own "Pendeltåg" network, as well as a tram system. The city is planned to have 3 central stations. Two for regional trains, and one for InterCity trains and X2000. These stations will be conencted with a Pendeltåg line, which runs underground.
I am focusing most on this city at the moment.
After Kalmsholma, the line will run north, running through both big and small cities. Some cities will have their own local or industrial lines. Halfway through, the mainline will cross the norweigan border, and go through various mountain villages, until it reaches Östraväninge.
The biggest suprise in this route is yet to be revealed. I can say that there will be a small extra international line as well. There is a hint on one of the pictures ;-)
I know what you must be thinking - the size!
I can say, I am trying to keep the size to a minimum. 100 km. of track has been layed ,and the route is already 600 MB big (yikes!)
But don't worry. It will go through the "cutting/cleaning machine" when I am done
When will the route be released? Frankly I don't know.
Since I am not working at the moment, I spend hours each day on it. So it might not take that long. But it IS a big route, and my fellow route builders here will most likely agree with me when I say that Route Editor can be very tricky and sensitive sometimes.
MANY things can happen during the working process. Crashes and even more crashes. I am making many backups, so I should be on the safe side. But I can never be sure what will happen.
Other than that. I want this rotue to be as detailed as possible, and I am sure you do as well.
So have patience. I will promise you won't be dissapointed ;-)
Now for the pictues:
At the moment this is Kalmsholma C. 3 tracks for local trains, 5 tracks for IC-trains and regional trains. 4 tracks for freight trains, and 6 underground tracks for Pendeltåg.
As you can clearly see, there is still a lot of details that has to be added. especially on the platforms. But that comes last.
Kalmsholma C track 1 to 6. This is where the Pendeltåg will depart from.
Main building and IC track where an RC is waiting with an international train. The sleeping car on the picture is going to be a regular sight in Kalmsholma
