Sandymill to Invermay Late Train

© Bryan Dudley & Robert Glass 2001-2003.

"We start at Sandymill on board an HST. The sun is beginning to go down and the sky is a tapestry of different colours. As we exit the tunnel and pass along the sea front the Cal-Mac ferry to Skye acknowledges our passing. From here on you are on your own, I will not spoil it by going into more details. All I will say is that I have tried to re-capture the solitude of the "long distance train driver" working a late shift and added a nice surprise or two on the way."

BVE Track Sound Standard Compliant

This requires the HST available from Steve Green's Train Sim Central

The route works well on a 266MHz with 16mB Video Card and 128mB Ram. So, any machines in the range will cope and as always, the faster the better.

Due to the number of objects I've added to this route in order to make this thing look and feel just right (nearly 400!), some users may experience pausing at certain locations along the route. This is not a problem (well!), but I'm speaking (or writing) from my experience with a 266MHz and 16Mb VGA card. I don't know how it will run on your machine, so please bear this in mind! I have had this route tested on machines ranging from 233 MHz to 1 GHz and obviously different effects were experienced. But, nothing devasting was ever reported.

This add-on is compliant with the BVE Track Sound Standard [BVETSS], so whenever a train is used in combination with a BVETSS compliant route the correct track sounds are guaranteed to be heard.
