Watford Junction to Milton Keynes - BVE route

About WJ-MKC - Route Information:

WJ-MKC will boast many features which will appeal to anyone with an interest in the West Coast Main Line. The route will be available at several detail levels, and will offer some half decent scenery, railway infrastructure, bridges, tunnels and some buildings too. The aim is to re-create the 'atmosphere' of the real line. Track layouts will be fairly accurate. Many parts of the route are recogniseable to those who know it, due to identifiable bridges, track formations, stations and in some places, perhaps even the terrain. Those with very fast machines might also enjoy the highly detailed and realistic UK Mk1 Catenary found in the High Detail versions of the route.

Along the route, various trains will be encountered - for example class 86 and 87 AC electric locos hauling Intercity services; or class 321 EMU's. Others may be seen as well...

Detail Levels

Here are the various 'detail levels' described. The hardware requirements recommended here are the result of extensive hardware testing, but as anyone who used the demo will appreciate, there are no guarantees that the routes will perform as indicated here. The routes might work better than expected on slower hardware, or may run slower than expected - the routes need to be tried first. The 'Low' and 'Standard' Detail routes in particular, certainly run better than the equivalent demo versions did!

'Standard Route'

'Low Detail Route'


And for those who like detail above all else, and have fast hardware...

'Medium Detail Route'

'High and Extra High Detail Route'
