I could suggest using the JK points and the JK way gauges by andi06 to stop distortion. Try not to use the straighten tool because as you straighten one length of track, sometimes something else becomes un-straightened or distorted.There is no need to straighten a piece of track attached to a straightened track if there is a change of direction. Colhad must have put two attached straightened tracks, either side of the middle point. Scenery points represent a large amount of fail. There is no need for any gauge to do this and Colhad did an excellent job, it looks very good now.

I can't finish without mentioning the length of the sidings, eight make them shorter or lengthen the platform ;) they liked to use available space, might wanna stick in a shorter siding between the two and the main line.

Double track is useful if not necessary in straight section to keep track at regular spacing. There is little need not to use double track when there is no bend... Join section of straight track with single and you got something more realistic.

Dave, I love the coastal route. Rocks!

I meant around tricky areas such as ladder yards it helps to use scenery points and straighteners to stop distortion instead of straightening and using default turnoffs

[escafeld]

The way I do it.

Where a winding track changes from right to left or left to right, I use a short length of double track usually shorter than shown, but longer here for clarity.

Short lengths laid. There is a branch off to the left.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/A-1.jpg

Join up the main line

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/B-2.jpg

Add a spline point to the middle of where the branch departs from the main line and join the branch

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/C-2.jpg

Delete one section of the double track

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/D-1.jpg

Add the single track replacement, which immediately distorts

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/E-1.jpg

Use the straighten track tool

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/F.jpg

Repeat for the other section

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/I.jpg

Replace all the other sections

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/K.jpg

I've left out crossovers, but they are treated just the same. Do a 'save' each time you get a bit correct and then if you have to do an 'undo' and things go pear shaped (which they do at times) you can restart the program.

There's a thread somewhere where I directed people to the site where you can download the track and also explained how to download it from said site. If you search through my postings, you should find it.

And yes it's compatible with TRS2004, as I still use that!

If you search for "tarmac platform" on the DLS it should bring up those good quality platforms by tmz06003, the safety paving is a seperate spline which should also come up under that search.

It is a payware Virgin Voyager, and he has reskinned it into crosscountry colours. Unfortunately he cant release it as the creator does not allow reskins to be distributed.

If you want the Virgin model, it is here;

This is correct. Only problem is that the Crosscountry logos on the oposite side are reversed due to the mapping of the model, as the Virgin Voyager had no logos under the windows.

Cheers for the reply, dont think ill buy the virgin one tbh, shame cant get xcountry one without doing own reskin :(. Very nice though, keep up the good work Mark!

Made a bit of progress since I last posted screenies. I've done a second station and town but I won't show that just yet. I have a bit of a gap between two stages of construction, only texturing, no scenery just yet.

I've shown this area before but I've done a lot more since then. So here are the shots.....

I always have a plan B with my routes, if for some reason it starts to not look very British. Due to incorrect scenery and such, as I don't have much knowledge of the area I'm doing. I can revert to just calling it a route, that does then make it less important to be accurate.

[bassist118]

@Colhad - That looks supurb, and the sceenery does look British, if your not happy and want to touch it up a bit then I'd suggest making the non - field areas a little more greener.

Great stuff

The signs on the platform reading "Truro for Falmouth" are photo textures and so is the one on front of the buliding. The BR Sign at the front of the station i believe is on the DLS.

Looks familiar, but I can't place it... good use of the buildings

Just a heads up - I've uploaded a new version of the buildings you've used. The concrete one in the middle is an alternative version, but the one with the blue panels under the windows is a kuid2. It has the same footprint, and a similar overall height, but it has an extra storey fitted into the same height. I realised that quite a few of my buildings were too tall, so I've been re-building the worst offenders. Where the new version has the same footprint I've obsoleted the old one - unfortunately there's always one or two folks who do something I didn't expect :o

All the best,

There's one "Concrete Office 3" on the DLS, no newer KUIDs.

There should be only one now - 134105:27051:1 it has obsoleted 134105:27051. The only major difference is that the upper portion has 4 3m high floors instead of 3 4m high floors. You'll just have to download the update and tweak the height hopefully. Where the footprint of a building has been affected, I've released a new version with -resized at the end of the name, and NOT obsoleted the old version, as I realised that it would affect the look of routes that referenced them.

Hopefully I haven't caused too much grief to route builders by clearing up my mistakes in this way...

Yes, I noticed that. I try (not always successfully!) to get a nice curve off the main lines and then a straight feeder track to the siding spurs. It looks better and as said, the loco won't get a rough ride.
But this is a minor thing, just trimmings on the cake and not meant as a dig in the ribs, otherwise it's looking very good.

Just like to help by saying that if you attach the trackwork as I have done and use the straightening tool where the arrows show, the turn-out will be much smoother.

Thanks for the tip's, Escafeld, Angelah. I hadn't noticed that , still got lot's to learn. Will go over the route & correct any more dodgy point work.

[Captain_Scarlet]

There should be only one now - 134105:27051:1 it has obsoleted 134105:27051. The only major difference is that the upper portion has 4 3m high floors instead of 3 4m high floors. You'll just have to download the update and tweak the height hopefully. Where the footprint of a building has been affected, I've released a new version with -resized at the end of the name, and NOT obsoleted the old version, as I realised that it would affect the look of routes that referenced them.

Hopefully I haven't caused too much grief to route builders by clearing up my mistakes in this way..No that's fine, a little height adjustment sorted it out. I have much harder things to reproduce in town than that, all the streets, most with trams will provide a challenge.

[meyshollop]

does anyone have any suggestions about graffiti I should put on trainz because I am hoping to re-release a model by pikkabird (i have sent him an email asking for his permission!) with graffiti on so any suggestions are welcome!

Hey Liam125, hows High Speed One coming along?

Hey Liam125, hows High Speed One coming along?
I've nearly completed the English side - just have to add some detail to Ashford International. I still need to do the French side up to Calais where High Speed 1 will join to the LGV Nord, which might take a few months
:)
I'll try to do some more on the High Speed 1 route over the summer holidays

It's been a little while since I posted anything (been planting trees and cultivating the shrubbery...) but telegraph poles aside I'm getting to the end of the landscaping at the north end of the Durham line now.

Here's a few from that area:

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pYLTZoM8PRkOj3BPTeqFoJwCgf-LyEv-A6ZaDTSzQR8MH4XxbxmXAGVFKaPpz49PSkC-FdmRGs7s8qXjZJZ69YC2zxnOg-0F-/rough_lea_40_south.jpg
An English Electric type 4 heads south past Rough Lea Colliery.

A Black 5 heads south past the farmer's crossing between Rough Lea and Hunwick. The line to Rough Lea Brickworks can just be seen on the left near the signals.


http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pL7_asAwCOfyYbOjOAWoDltyePV0m9fLQA5ptyObsRiIrxTp a1kapQTBiYBLwi2vj5BanQXGYpcUYMFDscLF6UPmhYopOumT-/hunwick_yard_looking_south.jpg
Looking the other way from the crossing in the picture above. Hunwick goods yard is just visible in the distance.

An English Electric Type 3 on a Carlisle-Eastgate cement waits for the road at Hunwick while a DMU heads north with a Durham service.

Looking the other way from the signal box, a Deltic passes through with a diverted ECML express (a reasonably regular Sunday occurance on the line until it finally closed to freight in 1968) while a Brush Type 2 waits in the sidings.


http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pH6jTh7-JiGR_bJ2NOizwONPIGqneuGt-_2bi7RP14qZGkXuqnUTz5SaHZ_eA88InMqazc-_CSni-jmpekUMEPAjkP7gcf91b/hunwick_37_southbound_cement.jpg

Beware of the flowers!

The line on the left of the picture is the branch from Hunwick goods yard to Newfield brickworks, which originally went on to link with the NER Todhills branch (notable for its 1 in 16 rope worked incline from the banks of the river Weir to the summit at Toddhills itself).

Next up: Burnhouse Junction and the Toddhills branch. :)

Nice work durhamlass

Try keeping the track between these two spline points straight by using the straighten tool and then lastly, attach from it to the centre rail. You may need to apply the straighten tool again after you've done that.

Thanks for the advice Dave! I've a whole pile of trackwork/signalling tweaks still to do, but I'm getting there.

Hi Durhamlass,
Yes, scenery, tell me about it! That route is looking very good and congraters must be in order.
It may only be spline points that are slightly askew, even a small distance out of perfect alignment can cause chaos. But they are minor things and as you say, tweaking is in the pipleline. And I am not one to shout about track laying having made bloomers myself. It's not easy getting it perfect but so satisfying when it looks nice and straight and in line. It's probably easier to get that in the real world than in Trainz!

Keep up the good work, well done.

Bless you,

Angela

[escafeld]

I'm not offering criticism, just advice. I've found out, in the past, that not getting the trackwork right before everything else, can sometimes undo a lot of things. Platforms, fences, OHLE, signalling etc have to be moved, scenery realigned, textures moved to one side and so on. Get the trackwork right and avoid disruption later on. Making sure your trains run smoothly is priority.

Based on Horncastle's former station, which in reality is not an industrial area, but agricultural.

Thanks! I have to admit I'm rather enjoying routebuilding - even if getting the scenery and AI right seems to be a never-ending job...

Not at all; it's simply that I've been concentrating on the landscaping in that area recently (god knows it needed it!) and didn't want to get diverted too much. A little while ago I also made some mods to the trackwork around Rough Lea and Hunwick after taking another look at maps from the period (including adding the single-slip you noticed...) which I haven't finished finetuning yet.

Now that the landscaping around the Durham line, Newfield and Toddhills is pretty much done, I'm planning to revsit the trackwork and signallng in the area before I move onto the Spennymoor branch and landscaping Auckland Park. So your advice is timely and appreciated. :)

Sooner or later I'm going to have to get to grips with GMax/Blender, which will be another time-sink no doubt! :eek:

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/Image040.jpgAwesome nonetheless! Great trackwork, great scenery, great atmosphere.
I have to agree, there is nothing worst than driving on a good route and your carriage being chucked all over the place because of misaligned vertices. That an never forgetting to put barriers or wall along the trackbed is primordial!

Some of us Brits have been following the TrainzItalia team and their re-creation of that great American route in Wyoming, Cheyenne to Laramie.
However, whilst driving on it today, I noticed how one particular part of the line resembles parts of the U.K; whether it be the Lake District or the West of Scotland, subsequently, with a bit of imagination I ran a BR train of the 70's, and these are the screenies I took....

Couriers always like getting in the way of everyone, don't they? Oh and they also love to duplicate their routes! Shame you are only using City Link vans and not Parcel Force, DH-HELL, DPD, United Package Smasher, Royal Mail or other couriers in the same row. :)

Nice shots, ex.

Still a WIP, on account of the custom cab taking longer than the loco, but I think I'm on the home straight now, and hopefully it'll be worth the wait;) . Seen in 09:

Thanks R3, and what a loco you have there, it looks superb, and a custom cab as well, you've done yourself proud on this one young man, and definately worth waiting for, as all your locos are....:mop:

Yeah, it's Darlington. I'm not sure if I should go straight upwards to Newcastle, or go over to the Tees' Valley Line.

@Glenethson: I used the lasso tool in PS CS3, surrounding the train(minus the undercarriage and wheel-trucks) and I went to the filter menu > blur menu > and selected motion blur, adjusted the settings, and I got what you see in the post a page over.

[durhamlass]

Yeah, it's Darlington. I'm not sure if I should go straight upwards to Newcastle, or go over to the Tees' Valley Line..

I'm working on the Bishop Auckland area (which could ultimately include the lines joinging the ECML at Durham, Ferryhill and Darlington) at the moment, so I'm definitely interested in any progress you make on the edges of that area!

My route is circa 1960 at the moment (which means the lines to Durham, Ferryhill and Barnard Castle are open) , but could easily be "cut back" and updated for 1980-present if you want the post-Beeching look.

That said it's a pretty big area so it might take me a while before I reach Darlington....;)

Oh wow, I was inspired by the Rail Simulator/Works' version of the Darlington-Bishops Auckland route, and I thought i'd give it a spin. I doubt I'd get this route done, mostly because I'm trying to decide whether I should go northward to Newcastle, or B-Auckland. And this one is obviously post-beeching(around the GNER-NXEC era).

It's nice to see such a following for routes in the North East. Apart from builder300544’s Tyne and Wear Metro area I’d almost given up hope. I’m working on the Morpeth area at the moment so I would also be interested in any progress you make on the peripheries, especially if you do decide to make the push towards Newcastle.

[stovepipe]

I'm another one doing a North East route - the Stainmore line between Barnard Castle and Kirkby Stephen, incl the Middleton-in-Teesdale branch.

Once I get these 30-odd miles done, I suppose I might work along to Bishop Auckland and/or Darlington, that's if my enthusiasm keeps up.

Must admit I'm flagging a bit at the moment though - all those trees and stonewalls are taking their toll....

I know what you mean - I feel like I've been doing scenary around the northern bit of my route (Hunwick/Newfield/Todhills/Byers Green) for months now.

That said, most of that area is pretty much done now so I'm starting to work my way south again. The Spennymoor-Bishop Line is next for landscaping, and once that's done I'll start on the town proper and the area to the south (including Shildon Tunnel and the branch to West Auckland).

I'll get there....eventually. :o

Why thank you! :wave:

On that note, here are a few pictures of the long closed Clarence Railway/NER Todhills branch:

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pueg6bHyf3ML2t0h8BIAKDiI9mD_ni4Dj_ImxeIAiHs_joeM YeNtAnBPZq0VPuCF9aOlmfR6_oPNItNY3JLG1kw/2009_07_30_001.jpg (http://cid-cf5ba69bca66f7d2.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/No%20Sleep%20Til%20Spennymoor/2009%7C_07%7C_30%7C_001.jpg)

Burnhouse Junction, where the newer Spennymoor-Bishop Auckland line (left) diverged away from the Todhills branch (right) to Newfield and Willington.

The trackbed here is now part of the Auckland Way (http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/341259).

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p0Z-II-q9jKoiYSRvxKn9sc7vb1dMmYxn0a7kvi14ujUWFy-2OLCB9aIlV8fINU0JG3BlUrkRsGEuJqWLPuPIBA/2009_07_30_003.jpg (http://cid-cf5ba69bca66f7d2.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/No%20Sleep%20Til%20Spennymoor/2009%7C_07%7C_30%7C_003.jpg)

The branch was notable for its extreme inclines - the worst of which was a 1 in 16 (!!) from just outside Todhills station down to the River Wear. The section between Burnhouse Junction and Todhills (shown here) had far less extreme gradients.

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pkViiskakNPYMdZg_R85H3K1EpT9pg0DKl0VA0ypFYweOwS4 EVp6bwqDDTMI0zBWpf4-fX6XDdm34N4W-kDXB2A/2009_07_30_005.jpg (http://cid-cf5ba69bca66f7d2.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/No%20Sleep%20Til%20Spennymoor/2009%7C_07%7C_30%7C_005.jpg)

Todhills station closed in 1867, but the engine shed remained open until 1922, and goods traffic continued into the 1930s. The station buildings themselves were still intact in the early 1950s at least.

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pQei0NrQqeUGVcEO4bho8pll6nT7OsuLHftMv5ivjsvLUVC7 SsoG766Z5e2ZM675LakSxCjPV1xo9LJlzzQ2a3w/2009_07_30_010.jpg (http://cid-cf5ba69bca66f7d2.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/No%20Sleep%20Til%20Spennymoor/2009%7C_07%7C_30%7C_010.jpg)

A spur leading to the colliery and brickworks at Newfield diverged from the branch before it reached the Wear. By 1900 the inclines and colliery were gone and the track from the brickworks to the incline - shown here - had been cut back to a spur at the bottom of the hill.

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pYR8CdE5w1PUtvA2hOvpWlsUzNkV0UEYNGbVdkbeJltxIhdH 13VYCgbtJD6e_Z5lBDrpc7B8VxLqf0ndM082wNg/2009_07_30_014.jpg (http://cid-cf5ba69bca66f7d2.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/No%20Sleep%20Til%20Spennymoor/2009%7C_07%7C_30%7C_014.jpg)

Newfield brickworks. There's an industry enabled coal drop-off and goods pick-up amongst the sidings.

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p9fOzGyJIOmM-y9WGpnWH-IQKf3PgX8qDE0yu9dKBGy8f704EEC7XDT7SMMZRDC8S_OwiG3V 0a6qnHEAz0Qqnnw/2009_07_30_015.jpg (http://cid-cf5ba69bca66f7d2.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/No%20Sleep%20Til%20Spennymoor/2009%7C_07%7C_30%7C_015.jpg)

If you walk along the line from the brickworks this is where you'll end up after crossing the river.

The Newfield branch rejoins the Bishop Auckland-Durham line at Hunwick. Incidentally, the blue 31 is a hint as to the era I'll be showing in the next set of screenshots. ;)

Thanks! I'm learning, thats's for sure. :)

I've set the route in the 1960s, since most of the lines in the area (though not that one - it closed 30 years earlier!) were still around then. With the Durham-Bishop Auckland-Shildon, Bishop Auckland-Eastgate, Bishop Auckland-Spennymoor, Bishop Auckland-West Auckland and West Auckland-Shildon lines all open (including the MPD at West Auckland, which closed in 1964 I think) there's probably plenty of variety around the route even without the old Todhills branch.

This period also allows you to mix and match steam and diesel - BR Standards and ex-NER locos such as the Q6, J72 and G5 featured heavily, and when dieselisation came classes 04, 08, 20, 24, 25, 27, 31 and 37 were all regulars on local traffic, with 40s, Peaks, 47s and even Deltics passing through on diverted ECML traffic.

I've bent history a bit in a few places (like keeping the Newfield branch in place, and adding an MGR loop at Rough Lea) to make it a little more interesting, but there is a limit I think! ;)

That said, once it's done we always go retro and modify a copy of the route as Stockton & Darlington vs Clarence Railway circa 1850 or so. I doubt there's much rolling stock for that period on the DLS though!

Had I set the route in 1980 (the period when I first started wandering around on my own - I remember exploring the remnants of the triangular station at Bishop Auckland when all that was left were weeds and bare platforms) all that would be left would be the Bishop Auckland-Shildon line and Bishop Auckland-Eastgate, with 101 DMUs and the occasional 31 or 37 on an Eastgate cement.

In many respects this exercise has been an education for me since it has given me a chance to learn about what was lost around my hometown before I was old enough to remember it (I do remember seeing cement/oil trains in the town near Tenters St, on what was part of the Durham line, but that's just a bypass now). An exercise in nostalgia then, but an interesting one.

And to Durhamlass,
Some excellent scenic work in those shots. Another well done for you...

As promised I've now done a little tuning on the trackwork (and some tweaks to the scenery while I was in there) on the area around Hunwick and Rough Lea, so here's another update.

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pcZ-0OJc7ElWGjj147Z3Sa1Z7CmfBsjyYB_Jc7Y1BUgkzZFbVP8y6X WtXeEZO9-_mcevfY5QzgHx7tjDTBOf0rAOJ8zY3how3/2009_07_30_022.jpg

The realigned trackwork at Hunwick looking north (I'm still not sure about that crossover, though) with shunting discs now in place. The line to the right is the one in the foreground of the first picture.

There's also now an InvisiCAB floating in front of the signal box for those "screenshot moments".

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pF5kNS5YNZZfO3Ua4tO_3qMq105PvX7eAu-NCUbuI-qyenMrnvOxxs0QgGxZv2u7-ISr_uKHKsY2-fcGxSmE2d7-Jb-W2M2eo/2009_07_30_030.jpg

Looking south this time, a Gateshead based class 46 heads north with an ore train. I always did like the look of this style of headcode on these locos.

From memory the 46's were a little maligned in the North East because as so many of them were based at Gateshead they appeared very regularly in the area. I did like them, though.

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pkq2I0SzqIFgft99DV_loUMzNOU1gv1hY32MpsgCwDwOkYad w9fUHiQXEqlBlByTcPhAbCXK3n54dOnU1htEZ1NRID0DDNbDi/2009_07_29_010.jpg

The unique 47901 sits in one of the sidings at Hunwick with an MGR train.

A class 20 "Whistling Wardrobe" leads a short train of HTV hoppers towards Rough Lea Colliery as a Metro-Cammell DMU heads south with a local service. I saw one of these locos at the Swanage diesel gala in May; it brought back some great memories. :)

Incidentally there's an InvisiCAB in front of this signal box (Rough Lea Junction), too.

http://rnpg2g.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pLEwOiJFSiuIZ9gJbDRlJS6dlZL293_vBZ1Hi0gRtpJLnbBF BmPXObWmlJS9g1aBL2WOgPgc_223wAasW863-xw/2009_07_29_023.jpg

Thanks! :wave:

I've spent a great deal of time working on that area, and it's finally beginning to show. I'm certainly looking forward to being able to get the rest of the route up to that standard, but that will probably take quite a while yet.

Next up: Byers Green and Coundon on the Spennymoor - Bishop Auckland branch. There's very little information to go on for that line (I have just one picture of Coundon station), so I've had to make some educated guesses.

The realigned trackwork at Hunwick looking north (I'm still not sure about that crossover, though) with shunting discs now in place.

The mainline appears to have a curve in it, which seems to be causing you problems. Carefully align and introduce two small sections of double track and add spline points at the middle of each section. Add the crossover and when you're happy with the result, replace the double track with single. Note - the crossover is attached to these additional splines. Points left out for clarity.
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/solution.jpg

[escafeld]

...oh and btw, if you're doing this on a line with gradients, you need to check out the heights of the spline points of the track that you're going to insert the double track into and then apply them to the double track, for and aft.

In this case the difference in heights was, fore 301.38 and aft 301.29. If you make both heights the same, as in level crossings, which aren't adjustable, the train leaps up or down depending on which way the gradient runs.

Thanks for the tips, as ever. :)

It was actually nothing unusual for the "main" lines around Bishop Auckland to sport "unusual" looking alignments (the dogleg in the double track Weardale line past Bishop Auckland East signal box was a particularly noticeable example!) so this is in fact potentially prototypical. ;)

However, looking again at the only photo I've found of the trackwork at Hunwick (see http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/h/hunwick/index2.shtml) it does look like I could do a bit more tweaking. Hmmm....

I'd say that's quite a revolutionary idea actually, although it would have a big effect on the aerodynamics
:D

[bassist118]

The route is very unfinished, not put 3rd rail all the way yet but I'm sure if the wind blows hard enough it should push these due to the sevear lack of aerodynamics

Haven't posted screenies for a while... Still very much WIP of my Dartford to London route:


A route 87 pulls into Greenwich bound for Cannon Street

A route 25 picks passengers up at New Cross

Same 82 at Dartford, with the soon to close GlaxoSmithKline in the background :)

Some great work here, I know this area very well and have just returned from 2 weeks in this locality.

Is the route for TRS2004?

Have you included the East London line at the back of New Cross or do you intend to add the Overground? Looks like you could use a Networker, how about using some of the prototypical first generation EMUs available instead of the class 313s? The 3rd rail at platform A needs swapping over so it is away from the platform face.

Are you building Lewisham station? This would be a good one to include with the variety of freights that can be seen there also.

Have a look at my tarmac platform range on the DLS, I think it would work very well on your route and allow you to build akward curving stations like Lewisham (although part is prefabbed).

Thanks for your interest in my route. The route is being completed using TS2009, so I can't guarantee it will work in older versions of Trainz. This revised shot of the one that you quoted has a tube in the back serving the East London Line. I've also updated my platforms (as I intend to do on all stations). Thank you for pointing me in the direction of your platforms - they are very good, but don't appear to be directly compatible with AJS's platforms. I will still think about using them. I have swapped the 3rd rail over... ;)
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/1/16/651972/Trainz%202009-1.JPG

I'm only using 313's (and 377's) at the moment (the 508 Southeastern's before they stopped working in TS2009). I feel they're the nearest we've got to a decent Networker, plus there's the ability to enjoy the journey as a passenger due to the internal view.

The image below is an indication of what I'm aiming to achieve. All stations are built, but some are very basic and there's lots to do on the landscaping front, as you can imagine!

[tmz06003]

@paulper- Thanks for the reply, that's a massive project but an extremely interesting one; London Bridge and Victoria will certainly keep you busy!

Your version of New Cross looks excellent with the East London Line tube in place. Now is a great time to build this area before the Overground sweeps away the existing landmarks (I'm not sure if that small ELL depot just north of New Cross will survive for instance?).

For a station like Lewisham, using a separate tarmac edge spline and surface spline would allow you to 'bend' the platform face to a much tighter curve without gaps appearing. 'Mind the Gap' is especially appropriate here; I stopped off at the station many times with my kids and none of them would attempt to get off themselves! The AJS Q stations will basically fit in with any platform system (and they work in TRS2009), they comprise very short sections of track, again ideal for tight curves and allow the angle of the passengers to be adjusted. I used a similar set up for the curved Mallaig station on my rework of Vern's Mallaig extension, this system fitted in very well and is extremely flexible.

I'm currently using TRS2004 to finish off a route for the Deltic Preservation Society, but I need to convert to TRS2009 at some point so will be very interested in your progress.

Good luck and keep up the great work.

And don't use BMP files! Yes, its a BMP. The reason being is that the size of the image becomes horrendously large and those who are unlucky enough to be on dial up connections, will just download the file, very, very slowly. Even on my connection, I am noticing one of your images are slow at loading.

Try converting the image to JPEG and avoid using MS paint. Try this: http://www.getpaint.net/

Oops! Should have been clearer - I only intend on completing the route with the stations coloured red on the map on the previous page. Thanks for the advice. Whilst not planning on doing Lewisham (at this stage) they would certainly come in handy for Dartford and London Bridge.

I have the small ELL depot already in place. To be honest I can't keep up with the change that is occurring along the route! :)

As the header says, some nice shots and thank you for posting.
Is that a Peak in the last one? True to form Class 37s appear so I assume you are basing it around the late 80s?

The Severn Beach route running out of platform 1 (the short bit beside 3) used Class 116/117s then. And they ran car trains to so needed to stable the stock out on the Pyle Hill sidings. The siding opposite these, the outer one, is for carriage storage.
From the timetable Class used were HST's FGW (fag packets probably) and MML, most likely Teal. Classes 08, 31, 33 37, 45, 50, 56 and the 116/117.

But cracking shots Stovepipe, you have done well.

Bless you,

Angela

[stovepipe]

Thanks Angela, all I did was press the buttons, you did all the hard work!

I'm having great fun with it, recreating the BR Blue days of the early 70s. I just about remember the Westerns in service, and have always been fascinated with the period just before. Yes that's a Peak, payware bought especially to run through Bristol TM .

I'm weighing up whether to add in Bristol Bath Road TMD, there's a great big space just begging to be filled where it was until 1990. I've got a track plan too.....but I guess I should try and get my prototypical route finished first.

If you mean the locos, the Peaks are payware from Total Model Trainz, the class 42 Warship and the Western Pullman are on the DLS, the 37's are from TC3, though there are plenty of others to chose from, search under user tmz06003.

Hi Stovepipe,
Would it be possible to send me that track plan please? Not sure where that TMD is but I did notice it mentioned in the timetable quite a lot.
If you can let me know where it is located too.... maybe.... please.

I bought the Peak, that's why I recognised it. Super loco and very well created. Oh, the 70's, yes, I got the dates wrong! Hence the Warship (Class 35 I think) and Westerns. I am also a fan of the diesel-hydraulics.

Angela

[stovepipe]

Hi Angela,

The track plan is available on-line at:

http://bristol-rail.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Bath_Road_Depot

along with the some photos. The whole site is well worth a look around. The TMD was situated to the south-west of the station, accessed by a line beyond Platform 15, the one that ends in a buffer stop on your layout.

http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&t=h&om=1&ll=51.446171,-2.579019&spn=0.002996,0.007317

The TMD was open from 1964 to the mid 1990s I think. The variety of loco classes in the 60s and 70s was amazing, and with the exception of the class 22s, pretty much all are available for Trainz.

[angelah]

I wished my layout looked as good as Angela's. Great work ..

Dear Paul,
You can do it just the same, it just takes time I am afraid, a commodity most people have not got while I seem to have loads of the stuff.
I noticed, I think in another section, that somebody wanted wider grass splines because laying 2 side-by-side didn't look right. I lay lots of the same splines beside each other and find the results very pleasing and natural looking.
The ones used are either FMA or JVC, depending on what I want, but I often overlay with another spline and/or a static object such as individual clumps. This helps to break up any tendancy to look too uniform.
But I admit I do lack inspiration at times....

The best way is to look at the real world and try to replicate it, you can't go far wrong doing that. For Bristol, my WCL1/2, the K&ESR and Hayling Island I used Google Earth to view the area and tried to reproduce it as closely as possible. I use 2 PCs for this, grab the images with ScreenThief then transfer them to a data stick and plug that into the second PC so I can view each one or multiple images by linking them together. There, my secret is out!!

Thank you for your kind comments,

Angela

[bassist118]

C'mon Isaacq thats one inspired peice of beauty there. Manc trams would look much better in that livery.

Angelah - Thats a beautifull route, your skills are and shots are very much appreiciated, you can tell by the quality that you build exibition model railway loyouts.

Great stuff all

Hi Angelah ,


The quality of the images is really magnificent.

The freshness of waterfalls, the fabulous cascade and the environment are

to take the breath away there.

A realization and a creation deserving of an artist on the subject.

I like and I am under the charm.


Wonderful!!! :Y: :clap:


Amicably Frédo.

[Isaacg]

Nice shot Isaac! Where did you get the overhead poles?

Paul

I think they can be found on Josh's site tramtrainz.net... there's a singular and twinhead pylon, and 3 different decorative streetside lamps.

[angelah]

Good morning Fredo,

You are too kind... and thank you for the charming way you put your sentiments.
Of course most will have noticed I forgot to change the AJS Canopy End to Barrel, that's why it is sticking up in a point!
Still more to do on this route, a couple of large bare areas to put something or other in but inspiration is lacking at the moment.
This began life as a challenge (and rather fairy-tale'ish being called Overhills and Faraway!) to see how I could reproduce waterfalls but I got carried away and it grew.....
This is a rather grandiose route but I also love the simplicity of single lines and have done at least one (two, Branchline SLW and Hayling Island). It is still scenery after all, no matter how many tracks are laid and that is what I love, creating the scene.

Still following the exploits of your routes, really beautiful scenes there, captivating I think.

Bless you,

Angela

Oh ya...in the 40s and 50s CP Rail utilized various ships and airplanes until they decided to just stick with trains.

Thanks for the info and sorry to hijack the thread.:confused: :wave:

God, how I remember that place when the EPBs were running. It was apparently quicker to get to the Queens House (my dad was dealing with audio tour guides at the time) from Maze Hill then Greenwich, especially with the amount of equipment my dad was carrying, like his Motorola mobile phone which had a massive battery and apparently good for whacking commuters with, should they inevitably annoy you or get in your way.

You know you can use an EPB and it would still look authentic? Theres one on my home server: http://81.6.245.27/files/

Great shots, especially from paulper, Nexusdj and marky.

@paulper- the more I see of New Cross the more I like it! Have you seen the coach from EMU 1884 in Deptford High Street? It's on a piece of track and is being used as a cafe- in a very interesting livery:eek:
I'm wondering if there is an older brick depot building somewhere that may be useful for the ELL depot...

@WEN- Agreed, I think your stock would be very suitable for this route as would your WIP class 377 (and re-liveried as a class 375). Also, didn't you mention a networker somewhere?

These are fab, well done. Will you be releasing this route for us all to play with?

[paulper]

Thanks tmz06003 - I'm waiting for a Networker to take the place of the 313's - I consider these to be the nearest thing we have to a passenger enabled Networker that also offers an internal view in the carriages. I also use some Southern payware 377's as a substitute for Southeastern. Over to you WEN(!)...

EPB's would certainly not look out of place and there's some on my line at Slade Green depot and Dartford sidings in case I fancy taking one out for a trip! I shall try and post some screenies including them.

I've not seen the old EMU - am going that way tonight, so I'll keep a look out!

Cheers,
Paulper
