Network Southeast or South Eastern (South Downs Lines)

* Note I’m not changing the route from Network Southeast era but was just curious to see which one looked better at the docks station.

So which one looks better, Southeastern with modern networkers or a not as modern Network Southeast era with Slam door rolling stock instead

South Downs Lines and East Kent Branch Line comparison (Old Post – Just kept to show how it improved!)

*This is an old post just kept for other reasons and to compare the updated released version of the South Downs Lines to the original Challenge route!

I’d though that I’d post this here for those that were curious on the difference between the two, the original EKBL (East Kent Branch Line) and the current version the South Downs Lines (SDL). A spot the difference between the East Kent Branch Line and the South Downs Lines, with out Dover Docks, Canterbury Parkway and the new lines because there isn’t anything to compare them to 🙂

The pictures are in order (so the first one for the EKBL Version should be at a similar angle to the SDL version – I tried my best although not perfect for the angles) – Click for full size!
