It's all about money I'm afraid Louise.


Fortunately, I may have found a way around that, buy asking someone to get me it for Christmas or Birthday!

Now I need to keep tabs on all of the TC3 content being released in that time!

I like those pics..... and they're really good for a beginner(I didnt see the join date to see when you joined). Here's a 'lil tip though: Press Ctrl+H to rid of the junction arrows, and try to make the layout fully texturized(no "grid" texture), and also add in one of those nice backgrounds that give it atmosphere, like those skyscrapers and the hills. Your gonna fit in very well around here. I know it. You can also, if you havent already, register for the UKTrainz forums, and you can get the latest info on trains thru-out the UK.

[geordieboy775]

Thanks for the kind words!! I think the problem is that I went in way too deep too quickly and now I am trying to build a massive route and never seem to get anywhere, but don't want to start a new one because i've been working on that route for a long time. I have been using TRS for a while now, definitely took over from MSTS and KRS but I only recently started using these forums.

If I may offer a little advice geordieboy775, I'd steer away from laying everything down in straight lines and at ninety degrees, life ain't like that. It's also very rare to get completely flat land everywhere, even in Lincolnshire.

[escafeld]

For overmars and his fog problem.

You need these settings and a white sky like himmel. The second pic shows that a blue sky doesn't work.

Himmel is by niffi - Kuid:147131:251092 Niffi_w@gmx.de

It was downloaded with a demo layout, but you could easily make one yourself. Swap the sky image for an image same size, but white graduated to grey at the bottom.

Thanks for the comments mate (that's a compliment indeed coming from you)! A huge thanks to UK901Y for the phototextures also.

The big problem is going to be getting permission to circulate these, sdark has not been on the scene for some years now. I sent two e-mails, both of which bounced, but I've since sent another e-mail through this forum.

Glad you like them, I've toned all of the reskins in with the 24s and 25s so they can all be used together.

[Communist]

@tmz I checked your 24's and 25's next to the 31 I've been working on and they look similar enough to be useable together. Varying degrees of dust and sun fading can cause a large selection of colourings and tones to exist on locos that originally were painted with nearly the same mix of paint each time :). My main gripe with content recently is with the levels of specular being added to some custom and built in content.

Reskinning aside I'm now at the stage where my route has become ripe, where it's hard to get anything done on it, as most of the time is spent driving on it and 'testing' it :D. My only regret is making it modern image, as the TC3 steam effects are so good and driving so fun it's generally been steam specials running on it so far.

Don't worry about that Commie, I've made all of my TC3 layouts into modern and steam era, so I have 2 routes now for each sector, haven't finished enhancing all of them yet though, it's a big job with signalling, tree-planting, etc, but it keeps me out of mischief......:hehe: I could make your layout into 2 models, one for steam and one for diesel. If your route is as good as your reskinned locos, then it'll go down a treat with us all, I'm sure.

Thanks for that. I realise that now looking at the other screenshots, but I think when I started the route (I sort of started it, then went off using MSTS and KRS a lot and then came back again) I thought I'd get the track done and then do the terrain after. Now I realise that was a mistake :D.
I might work on another route and see what results I can get.

[escafeld]

I might work on another route and see what results I can get. Glenn

If I were you, I would get a map of a route out and follow it fairly closely. Or, lay a length of track along several boards and add spline points and pull it into some nice gentle curves. Lift the land off the zero level to say 5m Adjust the radius of the tool to maximum and add some height to the land raising it above and keeping some below the track and then reduce the radius of the tool and cut some grooves in the land to feature weathering. Then use the smoothing tool to pull the ground to the track. You will then end up with cuttings and embankments. Run house splines or blocks of terrace housing on level ground. Make some level ground if you wish and put single houses on sloping ground.

Pick yourself some nice trees out of this thread I did - http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?p=4541#post4541 - and make sure you randomly rotate them. Get some road bridges across the line, railway crossings and underbridges.

Adding stations on curves makes them more interesting. Lay a length of 14/16 carriages to lay the platform against, for clearance. When you build your station make sure there is a good road network to get to it.

Add some fields and apply the field textures, but put irregular shaped fields in. Factories were mainly built near rivers and the railways usually followed them, so get them in together and put the houses overlooking them.

[escafeld]

Great Shots all. Here a shot great looking new Black 5.

Yeah, I'd been using 25229 as the benchmark for everything I do, especially as Peter Hicks's Mk2s seem to agree! Like you, I've intentionally changed the colours slightly so that corporate blue does not become corporate bland. I also notice, in the screenshots recently posted by ex-railwayman with my reskin of 55015 on the Mk2s, that these match nicely too. The 40s are a similar hue so we now have a lot of stock that matches nicely.

It would be good to adopt the Mk2s as a rough standard, stick your BR blue locos against Peter's Mk2s, if they look similar, then they are OK!

Hay escafeld the Black 5 has a thread in freeware so you should look there.
As for the layout I haven't got very fare yet into it. It is Nuneaton Before Electrification. If you look back through the thread there are some screen shots of my first attempt at My Local railways. Which got a little out of hand. I also have alot more information. So I can make it more accurate.

[geordieboy775]

Thanks for the advice. I don't think I could work from a map as it sounds to organised for me but the rest sounds more interesting. I usually like to start from a town centre and work outwards from there as well.

With regards to this is is possible to lay your own platforms that are passenger enabled?

@BenThose 20's look very crisp indeed. Would love an updated blue 20 if anyone is up for that?

With the Central Services ones now complete, I'll be doing an updated BR blue one, along with HNRC's BR grey 20's (20901, 20905 and 20096) :)

[Louise_T]

Ben what about 20031? not mainline cert but she is in those colours at the KWVR ;)

[tmz06003]

Ben what about 20031? not mainline cert but she is in those colours at the KWVR ;)

Unfortunately that one has disc headcodes, we don't have a disc headcode fitted 20. I'm advised that the mesh was corrupted so a new one would have to be built from scratch. The only mesh copy that may still exist might be in the possession of Sulzerkid who created the DRS 20s, I've tried to contact him about it a couple of times but have had no answer.

Best to just reskin it and leave the auto numbering in place, then choose whichever loco you like above 20128.

[46035]

Ben what about 20031? not mainline cert but she is in those colours at the KWVR ;)

Suppose I could do that one too, easy enough to alter the numbers and make a variation on the "weathering". However, it'll have headcode panels, which 20031/096 don't have, so it'll be a tad unrealistic I'm afraid.....Unlesss someone is willing to alter pacificseven's 20 in order to remove the headcode panels? (as someone did in order to do the DRS 20/3's, but unfortunately they never made a copy before attaching the WIPAC's to that particular mesh!)

Edit: Tmz beat me to it!

No, one BR blue 20 and a couple of HNRC BR two-tone grey 20's (anything from 20031, 20096, 20901 and 20905). Will probably do 20031 and 20905 (the latter does have headcode panels, so will be perfectly realistic anyway). The BR blue 20 will just use the changeable number system.

Sounds good.

I got some pics of 20905 at Craigentinny a couple of weeks ago, some side detail shots and a cab end shot that may be of use, let me know if you want them.

The weather was foul as usual with torrential rain but the pics work for a reskin.

It's difficult to match bridge track with the track you use, on the whole. I mentioned in 'Tips and Tricks', that I now lay all the track and then sink the bridges just beneath it. See here - http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=6105&page=5

I've just spotted this. I've downloaded straight platform lengths with track, that are enabled, but not so sure about curved. Having said that, one of these has a curved bay/through. If I get time to wade through 21GB of downloads, I'll let you know. I also have curved sections of track which are enabled. I would just have to add the platform to suit. Never used them yet and probably never will. I think they came from a European site.

Don't I know it!! I had to first find a bridge that suited my needs (i.e one without supports) and then I had to lift it up so it got over the edge of the retaining walls for the lower platforms.

yr05tcurry,

where did you get 37114 and the wagons it is hauling?

ta

[yr05tcurry]

The wagons are part of that payware wagon pack on the Railwaves site, 37114 is a reskin by SHANKS, the link I found for it was expired so maybe ask him to email it to you?

HTH, Tom.

That's the one- lovely! I'll use that oil stained skin again for a reskin of the split and centre headcode varieties.

40122/D200 is now on the DLS also- perfect for Leeds- Carlisle services....

I've also had a request for some blue 40s with D numbers so will produce a few of these.

I'm going to be a bit quiet on the reskin front over the next few weeks, I've a route building committment I have to fulfill for a certain celebration in early October.

Well done all. I like the 40s. I guess they're not for TRS2004?



Nice pics escafeld, yes, as Kimmy says, they most certainly are for TRS2004, that's the version I used to create the reskins. They work in an old copy I installed of Trainz1.3 also. These are reskins of sdark's excellent class 40 mesh, not the new TC3 only version.

If you are looking for them on the DLS, kuid is 283805, remember to tick the Trainz box or they will not show up as they are trainz build 1.3.

Hi Tom, the 47 I've made using Tommy's Beta. So I think a release is very likelly :). I know the maps now changed on the 47 but it won't be much work to update it once the 47 is completed.

You are most welcome! Glad to see these are being very well received for those of us not on TC3.

Derby is looking very nice there.

Hello ex,
See, it isn't me.... my dear, dear young man...
I wonder why some of your pics don't show, must be something to do with imageshack. Can't say I like their new setup at all, a bit confusing, so I use photobucket whenever possible.
Hope you get it fixed.
So it was just a Class 33.... in what livery?

God bless,

Well, you all have me confused now, 'cos I've just logged back on again after tea, and the 3 screenshots are sitting there nicely, so unsure what the problem is, and at who's end......:p

And dont worry Angela, it's just a Class 27, on my railway days what we used to call a "Crompton in a kilt"......:hehe:
Oh BTW, I always use photobucket now, I cannot get on with imageshack, so try not to use them if at all possible.

(ok wrong thread.. but it's worth a try)

Nice pics Liam, fingers crossed they release an update to make that voyager work in TC3. Mines sitting in the shed at the moment :D

@Tony, Thanks mate, I can't take too much credit/claim on these wagon's of JohnWhelan that also use parts from PaulHobbs. The textures I've just reworked. but I'm happy with how the rust has turned out. I'll try that technique on some other stock, let me know if you want anything rusted to similar effect.

@Zec Rail

Ahh great, so maybe I've written the smoke part fine but the DLS is just rejecting it for the reason of 'guys on holiday in the UK and no one thought to let anyone know why their content is being rejected..' Lucky I mentioned it, thanks alot for the info, has saved me time ;)

Those blue 20s are going to get a lot of use. Great looking skins there Ben.

[Liam125]

Nice shots 46035
What tracks are used in your shots? I've seen them before and I want them :D

[46035]

@Communist - Thanks, hope to release them on Tuesday :)

@Liam125 - Somebody asked me the same question on UK Trainz, but unfortunately I was unable to give a credible answer as I've completely forgotten where I got the track from, or who made it! :o
Also, I have far too much content to merit finding out what the KUID is, so someone else will have to tell you (I don't use Content Manager either, so finding a specific KUID on my hard drive is hard work!)

[eso]

Communist, while you are doing excellent re-skins atm could you maybe do some for the unbranded PCA tanker by Greeni. It's a great model but way too clean :) Cheers

[garygreen]

eso they are being reworked to look better and getting them the right size too

[eso]

Yay!! Thanks greeni. Now I can go back to waiting patiently ;)

I always get errors if I try to start Trainz in any resolution higher than 1600x1200 On another tangent, years ago I had seen or used some UK traffic lights, can anyone remember them or know where they can be found?

@Communist- look under username kessica on the DLS, kuid 69978 for traffic lights- these look like UK versions.

You've done that VDA superbly mate, no need for me to do much more but I'll send you the olive/grey livery template when I'm done as a base for you to weather.

I can honestly say you are producing some of the best textures I've ever seen; well done mate, keep em' coming but remember to stick em' all on the DLS for us!!

@Tony

I reskinned your RF VDA template and inserted a new texture and then I weathered the new texture to prodyce the 5 different skins. I haven't weathered your templates. Just so you know the process they are going through at the moment. I think your template textures are good enough that we should release two different versions maybe. Phot-skinned and your skins. Then everyone is happy, as some people prefer non-phot while others prefer phot-skinned

Sounds good mate, I've tried to match the other non phot-texture wagons so they can be used in mixed wagon rakes, this gives us the best of both worlds.

liam, Are you making sure that your layouts for your desiro have 3rd rail tracks? i'm not complaing... it's just that class 450's are 3rd rail trains.

[2stepsteve]

You get that from Railwaves.com - it's payware, but it's worth getting. It comes in a pack of three with a c2c and Porterbrook class 357 and a Southern class 377

It is a very nice looking and detailed loco but blimey £9.95?! I understand alot of work has gone into it but still think it is way too highly priced. Trainz 2006 can be had for near enough that amount. If it was more like £4.99 i'd part with my money. Nudge nudge @ the creators at railwaves.com :p


Some truely great screenshots here I keep visiting to get new ideas, if only there was an option in trainz that captured a screenshot with all the KUIDs displayed over each piece of content. Would save alot of time for all of us!

Have a look under my kuid, 283805. They are named BR yard lamp eastern region. Meshes kindly prepared by Greeni, textures and nightmode by myself. You can also use misc ladder 10m vertical black, just place it against the lamp and sink it into the ground to suit.

That would be Pikkabird's Class 37 Blue, available on the DLS and much better than the TRS2004 built-in one.

Incorrect, you are referring to Ex's shots


my shot is of 20161, I just changed the numbers around, and the headcodes.


Type in 20186 on the DLS, and you will find the original version

HTH

D6791 was providing the power.

Having left the MK1 in the shed, D6791's driver was ordered to change his headcode for shunting around the depot, 0D37.

Ready to depart as 0Z37.

D6791 has arrived at its destination, Scarva, 5 minutes late. It was due to leave the depot at 08:30 exactly, but did not leave until 08:35, due to a minor fault with the loco, which, obviously, was rectified. This loco had to go to Scarva to strategically stable it ready to work a train out of nearby Coalville.

We wait at Killester in an empty carriage at 11:05pm. It's a quiet night.

New route! And I'm going to make sure I don't just abandon it this time. I'm creating a small sector of the Ascot-Guildford line.

The only stations I will be creating at this time is North Camp, Ash, Wanborough and Guildford.
