Nottinghamshire UK

Anybody guess what this might turn into?

Hi David, you couldn't give us another picture of this taken from another angle, or would that give the game away. :hehe:

Not wanting to give the game away, :hehe: but here's another angle on the building in question.
Of course, it's still missing 3 flagpoles and a footbridge...

looking very much like nottingham midland station,
looking good for it as well. I have recent photographs of the front of the station if they would be any help when adding detail? as well as the trackwork as well I as i have started to create modern day version of nottingham.
 
Hi Kev
Thanks for that. I'd be interested in any photos you've got of Midland Station, although I'm not making a detailed model, just a textured box. After all, it's only intended to be seen from the cab of a train being driven under the bridge into the platforms...
If you've followed this thread, you'll know I've done a layout of Nottingham, Part 1 is from the A52 overbridge, to Radcliffe Power Station, which is already on the DLS. Part 2, which I'm slowly working on, will be from the A52 bridge, including Midland Station, to near Colwick.
Mine is supposed to be an early 80s version, but I was going to do an "updated" to present day so I'd be very interested in what you've done of your "modern day version of Nottingham". It seems wasteful to duplicate effort...
What do you think?
 
well i'm still quite a newbie to route building and i haven't been rushing to get it done either lol partly as i have moved down to london so can't really go and visit the locations. i'll try and knock some screenies together but i'd imagine that yours would be much better. (this has been WIP for about 4months now)
you would probably be better carrying on with yours i'd say.

yes matey, i lived in nottingham for about 13 years right next to mainline to sheffield. its one of my better efforts lol. anything you might suggest as extra? i know the foot bridges could do witha better version, any suggestion any one on that bit.

Hello, you can only use the assets that are available on the DLS and on 3rd Party sites, as a non-creator myself, I don't know of any footbridges that would be any better than what you have already used mate, maybe another creator may think differently. Looking around the screenies, you seem to have everything new in it's rightful place. The canal and the new Magistrates Courts, the Inland Revenue complex and Capital One's new office block, I suppose you have the new Holiday Inn hotel next door to Capital One on the corner of London Road and Station Street?? It seems you have covered all bases, so well done on a great job, I will be very interested to see the fully textured version when you have it completed. Great work Kev....

My email notification of new posts seems to have stopped. This should re-activate it.
Well done Kev, not a totally accurate model, but immediately recognisable nevertheless.
What's the clocktower? Is it a seperate item?
 
hey david.

yeah i'd admit not the most accurate version in the world.maybe that gmax modelof he staion would be a good addition in the future. the track plans are allhopefull accurate as i had some good birds eye view shots of them the multi storey next door!!!!
