Belfast-Bangor (NI) Route
I would really want to drive the Translink NI Railways for TS2017 and hopefully have Northern Ireland routes from Belfast to Bangor. Here is a video of the NI Railways trains taken back on 15 16th December 2012...

I agree. I went on this route around 10 years ago, and my one memory is the scenery. Line in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand also welcome.
Advice, post this onto the oficial DTG discussion page, they may look at it and take action!

They ask for route suggestions. Are you on the steam app or the web version?

Dovetail Games said that I think the Belfast-Bangor line as a British Route is getting developed

Oh dear, hope someone doesn't get touchy with where I am from!

Been a regular visitor to the Province as a wee boy then taking camps there and holidays for myself. Decided it was about time I did a part of Britain to be caught up with on sims. Amongst my sims I also have (sssh, whisper it@ Trainz and I have spent an awful lot of time building the whole of N. Ireland railways - yesl all of it. Have slideshows on the following.
(1( Belfast-Bangor.
(2) Belfast-Newry.
(3) Belfast-Bangor.
(4) Belfast to Larne (Harbour).
(5) Belfast-Londonderry.
(6) Lisburn-Antrim.

Was fortunate going through one person to another getting a cd in the cab of the presently mothballed Crumlin. Went over from Glasgow to take notes and picture so the worst part of the UK on rail loss was at last represented. Haven't put it up ion the Trainz site but one Belfast man has already got a copy and happy as Larry. Hope to be back over to Ulster very soon for a few days break and I should tell you soemthing else too.

Decided after much arguing with myself that I was a bit put out finishing just after Newry so kep adding boards and tracks all the way on the IR to Dublin Connoll so eventually the Enterprise express can be run. Some of the scenery is partly done and have done the complete scenery for the DART branch t Howth just north of dublin and the start of the brach to Navan however an awful lot of scenery in-between Drogheda and Dundalk and north of there to the Border. Even got someone to produce NIR livery for me!

Know is a totally different type of rail sim but at least the whole of the NIR has been done (!). Originally didn't intend to go south but had thought of imagining a second version with maybe a couple of lines brought back. So don't expect the same as here but the NIR has been now done elsewhere friends and not before time and my many happy trips to a great Province. How often would you get a train sim lover flying over to somewhere to help in a build. Goodness decades ago I once even had a Belfast girlfriend from Cregagh! So have a look at yep, 6 slideshows for you good folks over there. Roll on my trip soon.

Hi Bobby

have been following your work with great interest on that site and I very much hope to have it to play myself, at some stage.

I model the NI scene in 00...

http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/56180-out-of-storage-some-of-my-old-uta-and-nir-stock/

...and am currently having a lot of fun with MSTS's Irish Enterprise North, in Open Rails...

http://tsforum.freeclanforum.com/t1311-msts-routes-in-open-rails-irish-enterprise-north

Would definitely buy any NIR routes and stock that become available in TS20XX.

Hi Ivor,

Apologies for long delay (!).
I really was getting very ambitious going over the Border from Ulster as my original intention had just been the NIR then perhaps a second version adding for the fun of it as if a couple of extinct routes were brought back. My scenery on the IR has been completed from Dublin (Connolly) right up to Drogheda and about a mile north. Have managed to crawl and fill it in from Dundlak to the Border and now slowly the gap between Drogheda and Dundalk. Did enjoy doing the Howth branch and with such a big project taking time off and on. When completed I will then muse on whether to include the Navan branch from Drogheda. Unfortunately the passenger bit is extinct but still used freight wise.

My website includes my comments on the disaster to NI rail world on nationalisation and I did have a tendency to go with views from years ago that the new authority was bus inclined with literally hundreds of miles gone. Many happy holidays as a child here and for years taking BB camps over and breaks for myself. Never thought would manage the whole of the NIR and did get help re the Crumlin Line through different contacts to a man who had a disk made having filed in the cab of an actual train before they were deleted (do know the NIR would hope one day to bring it back. Having not thought would complete things in NI I am determined to have the same feeling re the "Enterprise Express" route!
