UK London (includes Underground) Shots

[Nij]

Hi
I have been toying with a small tribute to London, without being too accurate, but including a short underground (end to end) line and a Mainline Station.

Here are a few shots in a couple of successive posts - please feel free to add more shots from your own London or LUL routes as I know there are quite a few Undrground fans out there.

Above ground first........

and take the Escalator down to the LUL Station

Here is the Platform

Nice shots there and very nice looking route!
Will you be uploading to DLS or ?

Just thought that I would input, the signs should have the station name, instead of Underground.

 

[Nij]

Thanks Bhorton - I realised that the signs should say the station name but went for a generic "Underground" as I didn't want to reflect any particular station (plus the building says "South Wimbledon") - That's why I said at the top of the thread it is not too accurate but a kind of "tribute".

Thanks for looking - Nij

Hi Reece

Thanks for looking in - I don't think I could release this to the DLS as there is sooooooo much custom content - some of which may not be available there - Sorry - it is just for my satisfaction at this stage, and the most pleasing thing has been working on the two levels.

Looking forward to seeing some of your route as it unfolds - doo keep up the great work - Nij

You can still upload to the DLS, just make sure you have links or directions to the custom content in the route description. Uploading a route does not upload a copy of the content; rather, it creates a link from the route to the content so that other users can locate and modify it separately.

At present I am carefully crafting the A Stock: the trailer is set, but it is no good without the motor.

The "ath" speech bubble indicates that it will also be used on Athens Metro line 1 in addition to the Met' line, but I think it's pretty much an in-joke about whether they could last as long as the La Brugeoise cars on the Subte. Actually, the Breathtaking Athens "ath" speech bubble is just as solid as I♥NY.

AMAZING WORK!

It looks so real. truly amazing! Could you please keep us up-to-date on this?
Keep up the good work!

Kind Regards,

Yes, that looks truly superb! I will be interested to see it in game

Unfortunately, there is always a tradeoff between quality and performance with regards to Trainz assets. Low-res assets render faster, while beautiful high-res assets such as that LUL carriage may harm framerates.

Since this is a traincar, ie a locomotive, it's acceptable for it to have a high poly count. And I'm sure the author will include at least a couple of levels of LOD.
It is indeed a fine piece of work.

I'm looking forward to seeing more Underground Tube stocks, I would love to see the 1960 Stock track recording unit.

That's fine but I would suggest you change the text to capitals. It really does not look good in lower case.

Otherwise very nice.

Hats off to the creator - 321 - This looks a fabulous addition to the LUL collection.

Some of my favourite rolling stock will always be the detailed items and they are well worth the additional polys.

I cant wait to see the finished items. YES PLEASE - do keep us posted.

I haven't been to London in a while (thanks George Bush) but come to think of it, I'm sure there are instances of the LU sign having just the word "Underground" on it.
