Hello Spitfire! Oh don't you worry, everything is fine. I have just been very busy with work, decorating and other house jobs, spending time with family etc. But things are quieting down for winter so I expect I will have a touch more time for route building. Hope you are well!

Crab with the "Beer Express" passing Rawdon Foundry bound for London from the breweries at Burton Upon Trent.
Spotter clambers up the embankment east of Rawdon Road bridge to get a better view of the daily occurance.
A calm scene at Moira South Junction where the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint railway crossing the canal.
Evening stopping service from Leicester about to depart Ashby Platform 2.
I still haven't been able to change my user description on the left from "Trainz 2012 route builder" any ideas??
Cheers,
George

I hope you don't mind if I make another post (3 in 2 days, goodness me what's wrong with me).
Here are the first shots of the line east of Ashby towards Coalville.
Johnson 0-6-0 2F with loaded Moira wagons, in the background is the Royal Hotel and the now demolished Ashby Baths.
Now passing under Upper Packington Road bridge, Ashby seen in the distance.
Double headed, a usual sight on the MR due to the small engine policy, Burton Upon Trent bound passes over Leicester Road bridge.
And again...
No some shots way to the west. (and taken 30 years later) Overseal Station - closed in 1890. Any advice on a good platform for closed victorian station would be welcome! I've tried to make it look as abandoned as possible. Line tracks were still used for many years as it was part of the triangular Moira Junction.
Best regards,
George

I absolutely love the track work around Moira Junction!
Rawdon Colliery Canal Wharf, probably started to see much less traffic one the railway was completed circa 1850. But I have decided to model it in full use.
I hope you're all well!

A pair of "Rats" (Class 24) haul returning iron ore empties back from Consett via the Stanhope & Tyne Railway , seen here passing the flat crossing at Pontop Crossing.

I'm very particular about my signals and luckily found this page of an interview with a former signalman which includes signalling plans and even photos of the individual signals !

Nicely done Ken, - it very much looks the part. These are nice coaches, - it's a pity that Camscott didn't make them available outside of TtTE websites.

Got back into making a few buildings today! 
#teamSketchup 
This is the main section of Moira station in the LMS period. It's not 100% prototypical but good enough from the few photos I have.
I'm going to be making the station buildings modular so they can be used on other routes and locations. The Ladies and Gents, parcel office and offices were the same building but I'll make them separate and then place them together for ease.
Hope you're all well!

Here's Lambton Tank 29 passing through my own Pallion station with empties bound for Penshaw. At the age of 9 my parents moved to live near the station and I got friendly with the sons of the former stationmaster so I was allowed to roam around the station except for the signalbox as the bobby wasn't friendly.

@evilcrow and @lewisner beautiful detailed shots there!
I have now completed Moira's main building, waiting room and east bound platform shelter. I was particularly pleased with the guttering on the shelter. They were built in 1860s by the Midland Railway, these versions have LMS signage. I think they wont look out of place any time from 1860-1950 though.
As I mentioned before they are separate assets to make them more versatile.

Thanks @georgem2010 it's always nice to see new UK content as I struggle to find matching buildings for my NER lines.

Lovely shot @lewisner , what is that small stone under pass asset? I know a few places where I might use that.
If you ever need any of my assets with some different colours to match your needs, let me know and I'd be happy to ping over a few NER coloured buildings for you.
Moira station is almost looking complete now with my new signal box created from the only photo I could find of it's small platform box and sideway staircase. It was in use from 1899 to 1925 when the signals were then worked from the East Junction Box. After which it lost it's nameboard and was eventually removed by 1950s.
Best regards,
George
Hi, I am my phone in a pub at the moment but from memory the bridge is SAM VS 12m Culvert V2. That and his V1 culvert make very nice looking bridges when used with his embankments.Lovely shot @lewisner , what is that small stone under pass asset? I know a few places where I might use that.
