Let me see if we can get this straightened up a bit.

This particular location had a station that is not present anymore?
The tracks are also not present?

You are wondering how you can recreate the location with minimal materials at your disposal aside from a track chart?

Do I have this all correct?

here some pictures of my coming project

Matt Peddlesden on YouTube has a few good videos on route building basics. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... jTcrpgSSFU

I would take a look at these for any specific questions as they will be demonstrated in video IF there is a relevant tutorial for it.

Come on back if you have anything oddly specific that he doesn't cover and we'll sort it out.


You're going to want to use the Google Maps Overlay or the GPS Marker trick for this specifically. Anything else will come after this step. https://youtu.be/sAdJEM26fjI
