UK Screenshots (Hi Res Version)

Can we not turn this into a "lets put people off creating new content" thread please...it really is a pain. And @ Chanedmyname...was there really ANY need to quote that image, seeing as it IS in the post directly above yours?

Rjl, I would say continue with the 101, alot of people would welcome a new model with open arms :).

A few screenies from me, with my reskin of the shiny new 156 :).

can you send me these mk1s please cant find them anywhere

Unfortunately, we can't send you any Mk1s. Firstly, there are loads and we don't know which ones you mean. Secondly, unless we built them (that does apply in some cases) they aren't ours to redistribute. Thirdly, it is possible you're referring to the payware ones by Railwaves, so sending is an even bigger nono than before. Sorry.

There is a reasonable selection available, depending on what you're looking for though. Try the DLS first - Magandy's reskins of the Auran model are still passible (if you squint a bit) and there are better shaped ones (but with solid windows and no interior) by SDark (builtin to TRS06).

I too support the new 101 - Pikka's model is old, so features the PM mesh which deforms at stratigic but annoying points, and has a rather simplistic interior. It used to be good, but it's like comparing Windows 95 with Windows XP when it runs with the modern stock. That said, I'd support a new range of 1st-gen DMUs, because there are only older models available (though I do know of some in development - perhaps before building more you should discuss with WEN and Rumour3). :D

Also liking the new (2nd Gen) 156 - are we allowed a Regional Railways version, or is that considered defacing the unit? ;)

BidMod Returns - big pics

Hi all,

I've been running some stuff around Angelah's latest route, to get a feel for it. There's a bit of an eclectic mix of stock, but that aside, here are the pics:

141%20%281%29.JPG

WEN's 141 rests in the station, with a train of conflats in the road to the rear of the shot and a view down the hill visible through the trees.

141%20%282%29.JPG

I took this especially to remind people what Pikka's 101 looks like - it would benefit from a facelift, but it isn't actually poor by anyone's imagination. WEN's 141 in the foreground again. The main trouble is that the PM meshes collapse when the computer is forced to work hard, so I had to run past a couple of times to take this shot - in the end I took it from higher up and slightly to the side of where I wanted to be.

26%200%20%281%29.JPG

Waiting for the signal is a 26 with a short train of empties.

141%20%283%29.JPG

The 141 passes the coal empties.

I'm really impressed with the scenic detail of this route, but I think the trackwork and signalling could do with a little touching up in a few places. I shudder to think what this does to the flanges on long-wheelbase stock! :confused:

When I have more time, I think I'll personalise this layout a bit, but that would be for myself rather than public release.

FSP, the coaches in the screenshot are narrow gauge. They are on the DLS, search for 'RickySykes' (username), or 'WCR' (Title).

Now, the multiple unit frenzy continues...

To me that appears to be quite a way off the real thing at the moment, if you want any help I've spent a fair bit of time around these beauties and I have a number of photos of the MNR and NYMR ones.

I'd love to see one though, have been thinking of building one meself for quite a while.
