then you should download this class-91 from this site

http://www.peterdhicks.co.uk/trainz/gner.html

but as you will find in thise thread
http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=14955
you need to also download these

Class 90 Horn kuid:37028:54090
spark kuid:60850:99999
Class 67 Driver kuid2:75134:67024:1
Chameleon livery system icon kuid2:75134:99000:3
Chameleon livery system library kuid2:75134:99001:9
NumberIt random running number library kuid2:75134:99003:7
Class 87 Horn kuid:45317:870100
(the list above is thansk to robin hoods)

sadly we might not see these two great work horses for much longer, with GNER sold and the gov getting people to upgrade its bye bye big bulky classic british bulk locos, and hello puffy sleek euro trains (pendolino)

i intend to keep the GNER running forever in trainz :D

also if you go into DLS and search GNER and download the class 43 (HST)'s it will look great
 
ok here is the country side (unfinished) this will be my last pictures of this map, so if you like what you see and want to see the finished item, you will have to downlaod it.

looking east down the line towards the village, looks all nice and quite its a shame ill be running class 91's and 43's and scaring the bird and the bees

002.jpg

curving country road crossing the track, so jump in your triumph spitfire and take a spin in the country.

003.jpg

carry on east and you will cut through a hill and your second road bridge

004.jpg

getting into the flat land now, the sheep dont mind, unless farmer joe comes along...

005.jpg

joe's farm, close to the mainline, and close to his sheep??

006.jpg

the village fitted with primary school, post office church and most important a pub.

and what is the village called?
007.jpg

names to show how thankful i am to robin hoods for his help

ok thats your lot for, if you want to see the finished item (to be finished item) then you will have to download it, ill keep you updated shouldnt be more that a week.

P.S ill use this same thread to post pictures of my next map (which will link to this one)
 
Awesome! looks great, it would look better if you went over some of the weird curved track and make it look like natural track laying, overall, on the country side pictures, with the over view dont have it so bumpy at the top

/\/\/\/\ = Bad ~~~~~ = Good

oh sorry! I was talking about the first picture, and I just realized that its comming off of a station :eek: but I can't wait to run it :D
 
finished and ready for BETA test

sfrr, the route is ready you said you wanted to be my tester, so PM me and give me a E-mail address to send it to. use any train you want for the testing i want you to test:
  • junctions
  • signals
  • general running on the map
there are no signals in the GNER yard, this is because it will be un-praticable to do so, so be careful in there, dont de-rail :D on the not of de-railing, tell me how many times you de-rail (if any) and tell em the reason for each one, even if your own fault :hehe:

cheers mate i await your report
 
It will have to wait until tomorrow, Its 10:00 PM here, and I have school tomorrow, but I have all weekend :D
 
to be honest, I havent gotten to test yet, my brother has been hogging the computer (no lie) and when I went to go download the rolling stock and engines off the DLS it wouldn't connect to the DLS :'(
