Hi Roy.
Back in May you showed us some Terrace Houses you were working on, plus some Servo Driveway entrances and some more house driveways.
Any chance these will be added to your very useful collection of scenery stuff on the DLS?
Really appreciate your work - and the the inspiration.
Cheers

Back to the 1950s when Redfern Station had a pedestrian walkway attached to the western end. I happened to find this old photo and naturally, it inspired me to start to create something similar.

There was nothing uniform about it's design, with bits added here and there.
Early days so far. One section of the closed-in walkway.

And the open section.

In addition, I've been working on some concrete walls, overpass earth fill, with and without fences, which I'll use around Central.

Hi Roy,
Those ped bridge kit look profoundly awesome there I guess you’re planning to add spline attachments to connect with stairs to the bridge kit later on. When released is the fixed track asset going to include the following aspects: height-adjustable, secondary rotation, etc.
Have you finally managed to fight out the case in regards to your street kit assets on solving how to allow secondary rolling on another axis? Additionally, do you also plan/intend to build a refuge island (a pelican ped based xrossing consisting of a safety refuge margin between the road) and a roadsign ti go with it as part of the street kit?
Sidewalk—————Road———Refuge———Road—————Sidewalk
In addition to the miscellaneous assets in the 4th screenshot they’ll come practically handy for building flying junctions or flyovers for retaining trackwork on my route.

Hello from France,
always a magic work , and your footbridge will certainly be a "must be" on all maps...
Thank you for the great work !!! Friendly , Marc
Nice work Roy the way your going with this content creation caper soon you wont be route building any more as you'll spend more time creating stuff for the route you don't have time to build cause ya too busy making content for it lol, Keep it up mate the stair case's look like they will fit into a lot of routes for any era.
Cheers Mick.:wave:
Yeah, you're right Mick. Each time I start to work on my route, I notice something that could be done a lot better.
It only takes a couple of Google searches or some YouTube videos of cab runs around Sydney and the next thing I'm working on another item I hadn't even thought about yesterday.
I'll just have to spread my time a little more evenly in future.
Cheers mate,
Roy
Hey Roy
Worst part i find in doing all these assets is going back and forth testing them out to see if they fit and then going through all the sketchup assets on the computer hard drive to find them again to edit them,,, there are thousands of assets,,
With the Sydney Harbour Bridge i must have loaded it into Trainz thousands on time alone,,
I remember being awake at 3 am setting the RSJ's in on the bridge and it took months day and hours,,, but i know Roy everytime you make something you hope people like it and you smile at your creation,, keep up the good work Roy,,,
Cheers Stephen
Hi Steve,
Back to the project model you built before about the SHB, It is outstanding still but on the bridge peak or summit on the top arch it is missing a red beacon as well as significantly historical cranes in which the workers used to construct SHB when it first opened in 1932.
The SHB N - S Entries, I must admit they’re good and accurately built but for one thing the northern road entry curve of the pylons are slanted including the trackwork as well. The trackwork itself remains levelled whereas some roadways are to be gradually sloped. I have traveled past over the SHB both by train, bus & car and can observe the differences of the roadwork and trackwork according to your models built.
(Tane) It didn’t give me any trouble to when I build the mighty structure on my own. I used an alternate moving object tool(ctrl + move tool) to neatly place each of the SHB assets and they fit in nicely. Some of them appear to be clones of the same asset just thought I’d mention it. Quick Question, does anybody own Pyrmont bridge and or Luna Park assets to compliment for my route? If so pm me thanks guys you’re the best railwaymen enthusiasts keep on showing pride in your work remember no sleep time always work.

Apologies Steve and/or Roy referring to my post in the 3rd paragraph, 1st line I um.....I was meant to say that by using existing Steve’s SHB assets to put all the components together and by using Ctrl + move tool instead of merging the already made SHB route onto mine it cos my pc can’t handle excessive RAMS plus I use Radeon R9 380(lowest video card) and if it does, 70% of the time it will drop frame rates from smooth to a condition where it is not playable that’s when it goes clunky and then crash. This can put an impact on gamers whom use low video card. And yeah I still have a copy of your Sydney Route just lacking some time checking out on missing dependencies but will pm you though.
And about modelling own items and adding to Trainz, I do have Gmax but can’t understand how each of the aspects or function work there’s so many scientific terms in regards to modelling own creations and other stuff and coming to think on it my level of reluctance is not so sophisticatedly elaborate or well knowledgeable person, which means I personally don’t come close to being comprehensive. Still a student schooling although I hate myself to be put as the odd one out or be in a “3rd wheel”.
