Bridgehampton Metro - UK Light Rail / Modern Tramway in Progress
- Thread starter paulzmay
- Start date
It probably is, but I've done almost nothing to the route since the last ones. I've spent most of my Trainz time recently on the next phase of my Westhaven route, doing re-skins and on trying to teach myself G-Max...
This work includes a project I'm working with BidMod on to create a set of UK style tramway signs:
These are BidMod's mesh (with a few minor edits in some cases), and some textures from each of us... I hope to have a full set both with and without posts, left and right hand, with diverge limits and other ancillary signs ready in the next few weeks. The without posts will be in a range of offsets, and I've adjusted the mesh so it should sit on the front face of Silversmith's poles.

Still excellent Paul, most excellent!
Paulzmay! Paulzmay! Tramtime, excellent!

Wow! It's been said countless times, but this is an amazing route! I think you have set the standard for those wanting a prototypical, fun and gorgeous tram route. 
Thank you for posting all those awesome pictures and for taking the time to help us with the questions we had! I've been inspired and helped c/o your suggestions to improve the mini tram route I've decided to build in my route.
Keep up the great work!
I (like so many others) look forward to downloading and playing with this route when it's finished and ready to go.
Again, keep up the great work and thanks!

Unfortunately most of the download will be the dependencies, which, without permission, I couldn't upload elsewhere. If the route proves to be huge I may take up your suggestion, but it will only help to a limited extent.

Class of '10!!!!!!!
could ya point me towards the tram signals?

I've used more than one kind, so I'm not sure which you mean. Some are attached to the traffic lights by Andi06, some are by yannl, downloadable from BLH-trainz.com http://www.blh-trainz.com/downloads/SIGNAUX TRAM.cdp . I've also used colour light signals by Bloodnok.
Hope this helps...

Keep it coming Paul, EXCELLENT!
One question, not about the trams but about the mainline TRACK.
I'm in the middle of building a route using AJS's animated points. I'm therefore using one of the track choices associated with those points.
You seem to be using what looks like Bloodnok's VSR track for your main electrified line, (which in my opinion is one of the best track sets around). But you also seem to be using animated points…. Which from the picture at the bottom of page 7 of this thread, (view through train front window), seem to fit-in with the VSR track. I didn’t think the VSR track was compatible with the AJS point meshes…. So, have you found a way, or are you using different animated points, or am I seeing things?
Thanks,
Boat, (Mike)

The track is indeed VSR 3rd rail with Andi06's points. I just used the closest match, and hoped it wouldn't look too bad. I'm still looking for a 3rd rail spline to fill in the gaps with...
Progress on the route at the moment is non-existent, and I'm going to re-work much of the overhead and many of the crossings and junctions, so it will be a long while yet. I have, however just had permission to upload my re-skins of Cosey's trams (see a few posts earlier), so I'll finish them off and upload...

Will The Trams and Route be TC Compatible? Btw, If you Have TC maybe you could reskin CAB's NF10 Combino(The Silver LRV) in Bridgehampton Metro Colors(With CAB's Permission of course, to release it) Or Maybe Since I'm Learning to Reskin
.... I could do it for us TCers!:wave:
Happy Holidays!

P.S. Be good or you'll get a lump of coal from Santa! LOL!(It'd acually benefit if you have a steam train....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!:hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Thanks Paul......
Yes, the rail mesh is a bit thicker on the points than the VSR track. Maybe we can persuade Andi06 to do his brilliant point with a VSR mesh sometime…. For VSR lovers?!
Meantime I’m using AJS default track, (and to be honest, since I run scenarios and not sessions, it’s a bit difficult to change to the others anyway).

One other thing Paul, (or anyone).
I've just got a 'roadworks - single lane - alternate stop-go' set-up to work using AJS's street set, (and a bit of my scenario).
I would love to find a SINGLE facing roadworks style traffic light that has scriptable coronas . Drawn a blank so far on the DLS.
I wondered if you had any ideas?
Thanks,

@Isaacg - I doubt if the route will be fully TC compatible. I suspect there will at least be a large amount of missing content from TRS06. I'm trying to use a decent amount of built-in stuff to avoid folks having too much to download, unfortunately this may leave TC users out in the cold... Once the route is ready, I'd like someone to try it, and see how easy the conversion is.
I suspect that CAB would not allow a re-skin of the NF10, but you can always ask. As it's only a single ended tram it could only be used on one line of the route, so I'd rather re-skin something reversible (for instance Denis_fr's Citadis).
@Lo_poly - Thanks! I think it's by Advance, and it's on the DLS for certain.
@ Boat - Hmm - good luck with that request. Andi doesn't usually go for fiddly requests like that - he is, however, very generous with his meshes, so if you fancy having a go yourself, it's always worth asking.
I'm working on single ended traffic lights myself at the moment, working from Andi's original traffic lights. A road-works version is certainly possible - send me a picture, and I might get round to it. Single ended versions of Andi's lights are definitely going to happen, though.
@Everyone - MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
All the best...
