    Help with a BVE project - MML St Pancras to Bedford

    I'm currently working on a BVE route of the southern Midland Mainline. I'm currently trying to get all the major structures accuratly placed, which is going well, but some help would be appreciated. All bridges on the MML have I.D plates which show the number of the bridge and its position in miles and chains. Last time I travelled on the MML I managed to record a few of these, but since this was from a none stop HST I had limited sucess. If anyone lives or travels on the MML south of Bedford, you could be a big help by recording the details from any of these I.D plates that you can, and either posting here, or P.Ming or e-mailing (chris.cooper23(at)lycos.co.uk)* them to me. Some other structures like lineside equipment cabinets and also some electrification masts have positions painted onto them in miles and yards, and these would be useful aswell. Anyone who can help will be credited, and it will also help to speed up production of the route. Thanks in advance.
    P.S - Could you record the distance and the units this is in (either miles and chains or miles and yards), and the type of structure it is (e.g underbridge, overbridge, lineside cabinet). Bridge number and also a rough idea of the position (e.g bridge at south end of Hendon station) would help but arn't important.

    I can get you accurate (to within 21m the location of every pertinent feature on the MML then use multimap to fill in the blanks regarding bridges) That's what I did for the ECML. You're going northbound, right? The best way to get overlaps, feeder stations signals and relay cabinets is to get a cab ride DVD. Build the bridges and then count back the number of spans or work out form the speed of the trains their actual position.

    hope this helps.
