Ye I did realise that when I read it in the Content Manager who was the author. I'm sure he's a happy chappy knowing we're still using and sharing his content.

The station buildings on that stretch are a challenge Lewisner - its the type of roof - the nearest resmblances being:- JBS Pittston Sta, R3 Norfolk council house, tour belvedere du kastel, (for the roofs of Beningborough, Pilmoor & Otterington SBs`), & Nastawnia Kostrzycu for Northallerton. By the way thats nice Pway work.
Yeah, I used BNCR signal cabin with a skin of TSP Brick Wall to make a tolerable model of Northallerton signalbox a couple of nights ago and I was going to post a shot of it so last night I opened the route and................found that the game had vaporised 2 weeks of work ! Two bloody weeks of trackwork , bridge building, you name it all completely wasted.
That must have been agony Lewisner; i am sure many Trainzers have their dreadful tales of woe to tell. In my case I had the best of intentions of oldiefying part of the TS2012 KX - Newcastle route from Newark Northwards.
Taking into account computer capacity I decided to delete South Humberside, lines to Lincoln, Sleaford, Spalding Skeggy, etc along with the ECML South of Newark. It took a few tedious weeks until I got down to the layout I wanted, (or so I thought), work was progressing well with regular screenies being uploaded until the computer died. New computer at around Dec 2016, saved layouts on a portable hardrive then downloaded onto new computer successfully & recommenced work, focusing on the Darlo - Newcastle section. TS2019 came along so I decided to transfer the 2012 stuff into it, again success with only a few track & spline replacements necessary. Great I thought, but, I then decided to take quick look at the Southern end of the route which I had not touched in years & yes the main line was deleted but to my horror all the Lincolnshire branch lines were still intact. I had obviously saved the wrong layout from one of my many deletion sessions years before & was now at an advanced stage with the Northern section.
After much pondering over whether to delete Lincolnshire for a second time I decided that because this new computer may well have the capacity, to reinstate the Newark - KX section by adding the earlier 2010 KX - York layout & oldiefy the whole damn lot! Yes, it meant another marathon deleting session/s, call me mad, bad or sad - its now going to take years.
I remember in the days of TRS06 when there was a bug that meant if you shut the game down too soon after exiting surveyor all terrain got reset to Zero height. I opened the game up and found to my horror all textures deleted and tracks suspended in mid air or buried underground. It was about 6 months work wrecked.
Anyhow no trains in my screenie today. Mu current route takes me a few hundred yards from RAF Driffield and despite knowing nothing about airfields I couldn't resist it. The airfield still exists but mostly submerged in a jungle except for the hangars which are in industrial use. To make things harder there are no plans, few photos although there is a Microsoft Flight Simulator simulation of it. Here are the RAF Type C Hangars.

Never heard of RAF Driffield - now got to satisfy my curiousity & google earth it.
