Circular Quay is being re-devoloped again.
Before the Cahill Expressway was built, they had to first demolish Fire Station No 3 and the Sydney Harbour Trust building which was actually in the way. The builders used this area for managing workers shifts and their pay-packets, receiving delivery of new materials and the dumping of excess building rubble. It was also close to the pubs across the road. Eventually it was to become the parkland we see today.
I had some spare time today so I rebuilt and widened Circular Quay Station marginally. This is mainly because I've now installed a replacement girder bridge leading from the City Circle tunnels to match the track at the station. It didn't have bridge piers so I knocked up a model similar to the original.
Here are a few more shots.
The Fire Station is gone, but the Commonwealth Bank aren't moving out just yet. I'm sure they looked after the workmens payroll.
A 'Red Rattler' exits the tunnel from Wynyard to test the newly laid track to Circular Quay Station.
All eyes are on the 'Ship Inn' - No need to rush now - Last drinks 6 o'clock closing ended in NSW during 1955.
Cheers,
Roy

Beautiful shots as usual Graeme. I particularly like the V/Line heading across the bridge. It's a nice asset.
Here's a few from me.
Buses, Trams and Trains (and ferries) all came together around Circular Quay. Slowly coming together. Notice the street lights.
I couldn't resist slipping this one in. I can remember being able to park all day in the City for two pounds five shillings (before decimal currency happened on 14th February 1966). Of course it was an open-air lot and you had to wash your car when you got home.
That's me in my red MG passing the First & Last Hotel on my way home. BIG advertising billboards caught the attention of all travellers. Hmmm, I fancy a Johnnie Walker right now.
Most unusual! You could fire a shotgun up George Street and not hit anyone. Maybe the Melbourne Cup is running!

Light engines at Stanthorpe. TS19.
Wow! Those correctly gauged QR locos look fantastic. Are these currently available, or are they part of the TS19 package??
Wonderful shots Graeme. They make me feel like doing a trip to the country. And thanks for the nice comments mate.
Today I uploaded a copy of the Sydney TANE route I'm currently working on, into TRS19 and without any modification to the environment. I'm blown away by the difference our new version displays.
A shot that I posted on 10th Sep 2018 (# 34210) was taken in TANE. This shot was taken in TRS19.
I'm finding the detail is sharper and has a more natural look.
The harbour colours and reflections are as close to normal as they could be.
Pyrmont Bridge and the Darling Harbour shipyard.
I'd better get on and get this route finished.
Cheers,
Roy

Hi Forest_Runner,
Those QR locos you see aren't available yet. They are still getting modified and detailed so when they do come out, they'll look mint. I'm not too sure how long it will take to release them as the person who is making them prides themselves on high quality, and well made assets.
I have also been working in a 2250 class.
Cheers, Dylan.
For those of you who have my 'Sydney Central & Sydney Harbour V4' route in TANE, have a look at the graphics when you upload it into TRS19.
These shots were from the Helicopter session.
Vulcan's ferries look great from these aerial shots
And an aerial shot above the aircraft picks up its shadow onto the water together with sunlight sheen
Now if I keep playing around with this, I may not get Version 5 finished.
Cheers,
Roy

Thanks Marc, I appreciate your comments.
I always remember that we are only as good as the program allows.
We are fortunate to now have a wonderful program, which can all use to show off our individual talents.
Cheers mate,
Roy
You may not need a new computer. Make sure that you have a decent video driver installed, one that can provide a little more than standard and about 16GB RAM which is more than enough.
I installed a NVIDIA GeForce GTX1070 video driver into my Windows I7 system, upped the RAM and was pleasantly surprised to see the improvement.
Cheers mate,

Hi Roy,
It looks good. Just from the screenshots can't believe the difference between TANE and TRS19.
I think that I might have to invest in TRS19.
I just haven't had the motivation or the time recently to start up TANE. Maybe when I get TRS19 it might change. Work and other activities seem to get in the way.
By the way is that Sydney Harbour layout still available?
Regards,
Warren.
