It's getting late, so I'll hit the sack shortly. A few more assets have just been uploaded to the DLS. The kuids are,...

<kuid2:508637:22186:1> AUS Footpath Asphalt Grass w Gutter
<kuid2:508637:22229:1> AUS Footpath Asphalt Grass w Gutter 03
<kuid2:508637:22230:1> AUS Footpath Conc Grass w Gutter 03
<kuid2:508637:22231:1> AUS Footpath Conc Grass w Gutter 04
<kuid2:508637:22232:1> AUS Driveway Ramp 3m Asphalt Path
<kuid2:508637:22233:1> AUS Driveway Ramp 4.38m Asphalt Path
<kuid2:508637:22236:1> AUS Driveway Ramp 5m Asphalt Path
<kuid2:508637:22234:1> AUS Driveway Ramp 6m Asphalt Path
<kuid2:508637:22235:1> AUS Driveway Ramp 9m Asphalt Path


Today I was focussing on the asphalt items that can be linked with the various footpaths previously posted. To the right in the screenshot are new concrete driveways specifically to be used with asphalt footpaths. On the left are different textured grassed strips, two with asphalt paths and two with different textured concrete footpaths.

Cheers,
Roy

Nice work all, Loven those ground textures if the water puddles are included Zec nice work.

Nice shot Mick, one thing i noticed was the lack of cover for the ticket machine all of the ones i have seen and used were undercover on the platform.​

Thanks Scott good too see you posting here and I hope the health is doing ok mate I do have the ticket machine cover for Warabrook station sum where on here but I think it is too big to fit on the platform in that pic lol.
Cheers Mick.

I've just downloaded elstoko's range of NSWGR Water Cranes.

They look great mate, and I'll make sure they are used on my 1950s Sydney route.

Thank you so much.

Cheers,
Roy

Thanks, Norm.

They still look good even after15 years. I wonder how many people are using them.

These two Driveway Ramps have been made to suit a wider entry such as, for service stations or parking stations.

One is the entry ramp and the other is an exit ramp. (Just swap them around if used for RH drive layouts)

Here are the kuids,...

<kuid2:508637:22240:1> AUS Driveway Ramp Wide Entry

Norm,

I always like your screens but this 2019 pictures not.

The sky is like sundown but comparing to that the landscape is way too pale, too white and looks unreal like a sort of a bad pastel painting.

But it's not only you, there are many others making this pale screenshots lately.

Where are the normal warm colors like in the Tane shots?

2833 and 2191 lead loaded cattle train 62N3 through mingela making its decent down the range. TANE SP2 has still got it.

Roy,

Thanks a lot for all the driveway/footpath assets, another muchly welcome addition for Trainz. All the small things like this can make a big difference in route building!

Keep up the great work everyone!

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks guys! The puddles are part of some new ground textures that I'm working on for TRS19. It's using the seasonal function, where the last month of each 'season' has wither a puddle version, or a 'wet weather' version, of that season's texture (will generally be summer, winter, and then a separate 'snow' one without a puddle). I may look at using different seasons to give either 'patchy' or 'heavy' snow as well


Hopefully have some more shots to show soon, been too busy lately to do much stuff that actually looks interesting

Regards
Zec

Come and sit in some Australian summer weather on a 35 to 45 degree day and I think you will find that it well represented in the screenshot. Heat glare makes everything very bright yet the sky usually has a very heavy heat haze, or dust making it somewhat darker. A bit different to what you are used to in the Netherlands, although you too get heat haze due to humidity in the summer. The closest Europe has to Australia climate wise, would possibly be Spain and Portugal in July - August Made me homesick when I was there.
cheers

Thanks Tom for your hard work. I actually felt guilty seeing that guards van on the pass, as I helped destroy one at Traralgon one morning. We reversed it down 4 tracks at once and "Granny" Davis only noticed and stopped pushing back with the L class when the van hit a staunchion and brought the overhead down. That cost me a $5 fine for not looking back.
Thanks again Tom.
cheers
Graeme
