@chris2001trainz2010, thanks for the nice Words:)
 
Wow....... The attention to detail is fantastic in all your shots, I suppose you will need a high end graphics card and CPU to do the frame rates justice, but what the heck it's worth it to see a route this good.

Just one thing though, that bugs me is the round hay bales in the barn on the last picture , but that's just me being too picky, I guess!

Why that is prototypical here in the USA to store round bales under a roof.

(These bales are stacked vertical, but either way is correct)


@Epo where did you get that grain bin facility it looks amazing.
 
Yes I know, but It is not in the right time period. It would have been better if they were rectangular, but like I said, it's just me being picky I guess!

Well the first round baler was made in 1947 by Allis Chalmers. I don't know the specific time period of epos route, but 47 would be close.

Yes But to be fair, they were not commercially viable until the late 60's/ early 70's and most farmers did not buy in to them while they had a perfectly good hay baler in the traditional rectangular type.
 
For a chap living across the pond and in the grand scheme of his route, the shapes of hay bales are very small matter.

@j_Maybury, it's simply, the round Hay Bales looks better for me and my Horse Owner had to much Money to buy a good Hay Baler ;):D

@Chadd04, the two Cows on your Hay Barn Picture looks so sweet. Btw. my L.A.W.R. Time Period is circa the beginning of the Sixties.

Nice one Epoche.... Like your thinking, but like I said, don't mind me, It's just me being too picky again.
I think your work is outstanding, best I've seen here in a long while.
