Bristol Temple Meads

[angelah]

I have BTM more or less done, at least as far as I am going to take it.
The station runs out in both directions, to the west there are 2 sets of portals, one for the docks and one to go further west. The east also 2 sets, one for Parkway the other for Bath.
I have a mix of signals at the moment so will remove all except the Auran standard ones, just to make sure it works, which it does even with the mix. But for a tester it isn't best to have Blooknocks on as well.

Another few tiny bits to do then tomorrow. The Dispatcher file is 2.218Kb, a bit over 2Mb and it does attach to an e-mail, I just tried it.

I would like a couple of testers if anybody will volunteer please, preferably somebody who understands signalling (which I dont!!).

Let me know on this thread first please.

Cool, I'll test it if you want.

Angela,

I'd be happy to give it a try out if you like.

I would suggest keeping the bloodnok signals though......it will probably need a whole forest of auran ones to keep things running otherwise.

I only have TRS2006 btw, which may be a problem?

cheers

Hello Angela
Did you sort out the canopy for it? I played around with the one you mentioned although the ends showed up in 04 i could not get the spline part to show, pity. I would be interested in taking a look aslong as all signals are on the dls or built-in.

yay that saves a lot of time. Cant wait to download it. I have always bween a fan of angelah's work.

 

[Snowhill]

Just to let everyone know. Angela's Bristol Temple Meads layout installs into TC3 okay so should also install into 06 okay. It is another good example of Angela's excellent layouts... The station track layout is accurate..
Congratulations Angela..

Hello Stovepipe,
I have been there before with these signals when I thought about putting them on another route but got a lot of negative response, so I will remove them.
But that won't stop anybody replacing once they have downloaded the route.
My signalling is hopeless anyway so it will probably need looking at. I get the routes to run, that's the main thing.
It should not be a problem in 06. Snowhill uses TC3 and it imported okay. Well, I say okay, there are a lot of missing assets and some textures and oddly the AJS platforms aren't showing - I thought they did in TC3 and 06?

Bear with me and thanks for volunteering, you know what they say about that in the armed forces!

To all volunteers

Many thanks for replying, I was wondering if anybody would! Ha ha.

First; I have to make a few changes after Snowhill mailed me about a few problems.
Next; I will be taking out all Bloodnock's signals, it saves people problems who may not have them, not everybody has.
What I need is objective points and suggestions, but ones that are realistic. I mean don't suggest it runs all the way to London! This is as far as I personally wish to take the route, I was getting bored with it and had to make a concerted effort to get it completed over the last week.

Other than that - enjoy!

Once I get some faults sorted, for instance the point levers are not showing in TC3(!), I will let you all know by PM so you can respond with an email address to which I can send.

Blessings,

Angela

Point levers

Okay, I have found the problem. I used Bloodnock's point levers and Snowhill doesn't have Bloodnock's assets, hence they weren't showing.
They have been changed for Point Motor WH63 kuid 33572:24000 which is part of the Euro Track Pack.
The signal gantries also needed changing after I replaced the lights as they were a foot above the ganrty. The new gantry is JJS Cantilever Gantry 46819:38168.
Signals are now Auran standard British Default.
I also think there is a retaining wall that is missing for TC3 so I am about to go look for that now I know where it is, so will add to the post later.

Just as a matter of interest how many boards is in the layout?

 

[angelah]

No idea!

Just as a matter of interest how many boards is in the layout?

Hello,
A the moment I have no idea. I suppose I should have counted but never got around to it. I will try next time I go into Trainz.
I am awaiting the results of the updates from Snowhill who is a great friend of mine before I send the route out for testing. Might as well as much as possible sorted first, eh...
So be patient a little longer please.

Good news - I will look forward to testing it, when Angela's ready of course.

 

[Dean_Forest]

Could I test this in TC3 as well?

I know the area fairly well (my local station being Parkway!)

Hello,
This does run in TC3, Snowhill is a very dear friend and has that version, but there are a lot of missing assets in it, a lot of textures that won't show too.
But we are working towards solving some of these points. I am waiting for him to come back on the info I sent earlier today, but I expect it will take him time to sort that out, I must be as patient as everybody else.
It is made in 2004 so several of the built-in textures in that are not included in TC3, grass a3,b and ab; 1:1001, 1:610 and 1:1020 respectively.
You will need the JVC asset JVC(M)Hedgerow#2a w/trees & shurbs kuid 328583:3822 for a start, also texture asphalt01 98906:400575 and JJS Cantilever Gantry 46819:38168.
That's for starters....

Good luck.

The file will attach and send via email, I have done it on Yahoo, but this depends on how large each file is allowed by your server. The route file is 2.318 Kb(or near enough).

Kind gents

If the kind gentlemen who have volunteered to test this for me will PM with a mail address I will send the route.

Snowhill has had problems so I will let him sort those out and try not to trouble him with this at the moment.

Thanks Angela
Ive put it into 09 first which has not been used as yet. 719 download items required (743 items in 04) when this is finished will put it into 04 as i have a large download folder anyway for this version. 09 reports 36 items missing mostly 71619 kuids. Will check more details later.

09 shows the 71619 kuids with 2220* but on the DLS the only ones are 2200*
platform 7 & 8 ? not named.

Hiya Stagecoach,
Did I send you the TO file? If not then I will, it might help.

I notice you have used Norfolk rusty, they also do normal track kuid:79563:50004 this might solve the VSR problem.
