Wow patchy,

That is outstanding work mate! I love the textures and scenery, very indicative of the area.
Beautifully captured.
Keep up the great work.

Sounds as well? Now you need a script that will stop traffic while it beeps at random intervals.

No sounds I'm afraid. Would be nice to do however.

Thought I'd give a train a go through the curves, it is easy to run away at speed through Bringo, the wagons are matruck's and getting looked over.
The real life scene:

Work in progress, taken at a slightly different angle at that location:

Taken just west of Bringo:

Thanks Mick, it is starting to take shape!
These wagons were built in china, and are used for Mt Gibson Iron Ore trains is the Midwest.
They are bottom dump paired ore hoppers. Their class series is MHAF, AHCF, KHBF.
The ones in the screenshot which look similar to the real life wagons would be used on Gindalbie Ore trains.
Cheers

They were in last months MotivePower or Railway Illustrated

Here are a photos of the variations, these are all NG:

AHCF, these are the most common on Mt Gibson ore trains:

AHCF Pair:

KHBF, these were for a company called Sinosteel, which owns Midwest Corporation. They were used for a short time before they decided to use trucks.
These at the moment are on lease to Mt Gibson.

The MHAF's were the first batch of ore cars to arrive in the Midwest, there is only 30 of these wagons. They are slighlty smaller than the AHCF's heightwise.

Cheers Mick.

Nope, where I am in Geraldton it is all NG. From Perth to Geraldton, then from Geraldton to Mullewa, and from Mullewa to Maya are all NG.
There is potential to go to SG in the future as all sleepers are DG concrete just sitting on the NG at the moment.

Cheers

There has been some good work over several railways and systems, my quiet period on these forums has been due to the need to move house. I have found a new place i sign the lease this week and hopefully soon back into full swing again. Keep up the good work guys.

Nope, WA is more narrow gauge than standard gauge even now, at least in the south west corner anyway - how else did Westrail hire QR's SX class suburban cars back in the 80's?

Also, good to hear you found a place Ghosty.
