The Foxfield Railway is looking to be a fantastic route, Parker! Both Barney and I are extremely excited to see you've chosen to undertake this amazing little Heritage Line! Keep your eyes peeled as there most likely with be a certain iconic Foxfield "Knotty" locomotive appearing for you and your route in the future!A rather lengthy goods train for the Foxfield, skilfully managed by Wimblebury:
Cheers,

I recently decided to undertake updating my version of the Fellhall and Moorhurst Railway into PBR Standards. The textures are first, and the scenery will follow shortly after.
It's currently getting ready for the spring running season, and all the Tank Engines are getting serviced at Westerly Repair and Restoration Shops! Amongst them are LBSCR E1X No. 89, LBSCR E2 No.107, LSWR G6 No. 30272 (Masquerading as it's sibling No.262) and LBSCR A1 Terrier IOW No. 13 "Carisbrooke"
The larger tank engines and small tender engines are next on the list. E5 2567 "Freshwater", E6 411 "Blackheath" and LBSCR K Class 32343.
Finally we have No. 2329 "Stephenson" exiting the works in a newly outshopped coat of Malachite Green. Who's that engine behind it you ask? A F&M New Build Locomotive that's been under construction since the railway bought Stephenson in 1959.
This season features some surprising newcomers to the railway this running year, at Westerly's down platform we discover....
A Bluebell Brigade!! Bluebell Railway No.323 "Bluebell" and SECR Wainwright Class No.592 have been chosen as ambassadors to the Fellhall and Moorhurst! The F&M have agreed to cover their overhauls in exchange for the Bluebell leasing the two locomotives to them for the remainder of the operational year! While these two Chatham Travelers stay with the F&M, two of their own locomotives (LBSCR C2x No. 437 and LBSCR I3 No.30922) have gone as ambassadors to the Bluebell Railway to operate for the remainder of the year as well. Although they're only steamed up for some photographs, they do look a fine sight eh?
Good to pop on here again and I hope you guys enjoy these. I'm going to have a pretty big update on the SR Project in a couple weeks! Stay tuned!!

I promise we are not all bad eggs, us Thomas people.
Nobody is saying you are Loustar. But like I mentioned earlier a LOT of people have had bad experiences with the Thomas Community. We know that there are good people in the community but the group as a whole is pretty bad. Specifically people like Mainland Studios, Light and Coal and Tom K.
Don't take it to heart okay Loustar. Just be yourself here and people will be cool.

GER buildings were painted in a pale beige colour officially known as 'stone' rather than the shade of yellow you've used Mick. GER Brown was a lighter shade than GWR chocolate.
Finding good information on GER paint colours for buildings isn't easy especially when district engineers would please themselves over interpreting the recommended paint schemes. I have that GER signal hut drawing by the way and it's certainly an interesting one.
Ongar railway station has been restored to correct GER colours so is about the best example of GER 'stone' you are likely to find. It's one of the GER's standard 1867 brick buildings so not a lot of woodwork to be seen unfortunately.

That's quite Ok, - I was glad to help. And yes the signal hut looks much better now.

Something slightly different, three slightly different weathered PO wagons different numbers and the bulk loads are slightly varied on all four wagons. The bulk loads work with the 7 plank tops so you can switch other wagons the same way. Having identical bulk loads on a string of wagons is probably a bit unrealistic. Everything is on the DLS.

Clever work with those bulk load meshes John. When you see them altogether in a train of wagons like that they certainly look effective.
The Tirdonkin PO wagons look good too.

An excellent snowy screenshot there dundun.
I'm back testing a new TRS22 install in Linux. I'm still using Debian Linux, but this time with the new Wine version 9.0.0 working via Lutris. Lutris is an open source gaming platform for Linux and so far it seems to be working very well.
