European Model Railway Club Route a WIP by Euromodeller

[Vern]

Bit late to the party on this one, but the layout looks superb. That helix is particularly impressive!

 

[Elipsofty]

Man! Why can I be this good?:'( Looks amazing Euromodeller really love the detail in the scenery

 

[euromodeller]

Well February has been and gone, no progress due to Norovirus (not Coronavirus) and a wrist injury caused by too much mouse use! (CTS)
I also lost my Trainz mojo for a while, but that has returned!

I'll get some more work done here ASAP, but use of my mouse hand is retricted to a few hours a day instead of my usual 16-20

Another view of the new East End

I have good news and bad news.

First the bad news, I've removed the 2 helix in post #20.

Now for the good news......

A 4-track oval helix with contra-rotating tracks has replaced them!

1 track left rotating downwards
1 track left rotating upwards
1 track right rotating downwards
1 track right rotating upwards.

Making it oval has enabled me to lessen the gradient.
It's fully signalled and allows a lot of trains on it at the same time.

There's nothing like a good challenge to keep the Imagineer going

Pics time....

Railfan/trainspotter view..

General views..

Leg, legs, legs and more legs.!!!

More news 'soon'

Wow! You are the man! Monumental effort!

 

[lspdyiu]

INCREDIBLE!!!:Y::Y:
You’re certainly a knack in this as an imagineer craze I suppose.
C’mon, spill the beans out I am looking forward towards using your spirals when this is released.

I'm clueless when it comes to model railways but that is one impressive feat

 

[euromodeller]

I really need to get this completed :hehe:

 

[Forester1]

Don't rush your healing, but yes, this will be absolutely awesome when it is completed. I saw your helixes on the DLS, that is an outstanding contribution! :clap:

 

[fant_autentico]

Very interesting the addition of the helix, a lot of work !!

Hugs, Javier

Thanks Javier, you know I like a challenge or two

A 4 track contra-rotating helix just had to be done :hehe:

Cheers,

the crazy old guy!

 

[KotangaGirl]

That is absolutely insane Graham. If I attempted something like that my brain would blue screen and fall over.

 

[euromodeller]

The secret to building insane objects is....to be a bit insane oneself and rise to a challenge :hehe:

Talking of a challenge, someone on another forum said to me that trying to reskin a 5 car E.M.U. that was made with .trainzmesh and not with .im was not posible because there was no mesh viewer available!
There's now 3 on the DLS (insert smug smiley here).

Annie, I've not forgotten Madder Valley, it's on hold, I'll get going on it again when I am in the right frame of mind for it.
I miss the PMs from 'teddy' with advice and info, sigh.

cheers,

Graham
