Vale rale
8 years ago... I started a ill-fated project called "vale rale".
Vale rale was a combination of 2 routes, one was called "COAL VALE" (available on the DLS), and the built in route "Rosworth vale".
The route was not scratch built... but it took 6 years to completely re-buid the route from almost scratch.
The entire project was surrounded by a theory called "Never-ending session". Which was a session which didn't end.
The route was modified to deal with a high amount of traffic, stopping freight trains, local passenger trains and express passenger trains coming form lowfell to armandale.
It took 6 years because I originally planned to build it within TRS2004, but I didn't know how to export from TRS2004 or 2006, during the age of TC, progress was halted.
With TS2009, I managed to export the route onto TS2010, and I completed it late that year.
With TS2010, I had to replace all of the trees in both routes. During that time, I added a few more as well.

While the route was going, I took some time out of my life to get into content creation, to create a fictional bulkhead flat wagon (Uk theme).

The reason for this, was because there was no UK wagon that could carry logs which had working couplings, so I decided to make myself one.
All it needed, was texturing.
Capacity:
- 3 lumber loads
- 12 auran logs
- 3 20' containers
- 1 40ft container (other loads could be handled too).
- 6 general goods crates.
The wagon would have been fitted with vac/air pipes and chain-based coupling.
I was also getting a route sign ready for new station signs.

The route ultimately failed... Due to the fact that modified routes aren't meant for uploading, no matter how much they've been modified, and the fact that automation was not possible.
When I realised this, the route finely collapsed, my random of trainz was burning and unfortunately, nothing really motivates me to continue any more, the route is on a verge of being wiped.
So, that's the FULL progress of what I've done for trainz so far. I hope you enjoyed reading this, I have not enjoyed writing it.
Ironically, the trains on my banner were meant for the route.
Edit: Only the route is up for transfer (via .cdp), but by request only. I do not support for any unknown KUIDs that occur.
