ECML Moorgate Extension - Northern City Line
This is an extension of the East Coast Main Line South - London to Peterborough route by Dovetail Games. It adds the short underground Northern City Line from Drayton Park to Moorgate as an extension to the route, allowing through services to run from Welwyn Garden City to Moorgate.
This version (v5) is a brand new, completely overhauled version to replace v4 which was released in 2018. Scenario creators are advised that there have been some track changes, so scenarios are unlikely to work on this new version without some modification. However, I believe this is justified by the massive increase in realism provided in this version.
There are no payware requirements needed for the extension, apart from the ECML London to Peterborough from Dovetail Games. All assets are included in the download. Scenario requirements are listed clearly in the provided manual.
Features:
- Brand new HD textures and custom 3D models for the stations
- Accurate layouts and entrances/exits featuring realistic cross passages and tube tunnels
- Improved track layout
- Poole Street substation included
- 'Step Plate' junction tunnels around Highbury & Islington included
- Custom made signalling system with accurate signal numbers
- Custom tunnel speed signs
- Accurate signage at all stations as of late 2018
- Quick Drive and standard scenarios included
- Bonus weathered 'GN Old' reskin for the Class 313 included
Stations Included:
Highbury & Islington - Essex Road - Old Street - Moorgate
v5.0.1: updated 18.04.19
- Added patch for AP Track Enhancement Pack - as the route was designed to use the original ECMLS tunnel track, this patch reverts the tunnel track only to its original condition. This only affects the extension and not the rest of the route.
v5.0.2: updated 01.07.20
- Fixed stations disappearing when scenery density level was set below 10.
