I like those pics..... and they're really good for a beginner(I didnt see the join date to see when you joined). Here's a 'lil tip though: Press Ctrl+H to rid of the junction arrows, and try to make the layout fully texturized(no "grid" texture), and also add in one of those nice backgrounds that give it atmosphere, like those skyscrapers and the hills. Your gonna fit in very well around here. I know it. You can also, if you havent already, register for the UKTrainz forums, and you can get the latest info on trains thru-out the UK.

Thanks for the kind words!! I think the problem is that I went in way too deep too quickly and now I am trying to build a massive route and never seem to get anywhere, but don't want to start a new one because i've been working on that route for a long time. I have been using TRS for a while now, definitely took over from MSTS and KRS but I only recently started using these forums.

Yeah, I kinda noticed that, as I went to his site.... I like his roadside signs too.

I'll try and get those released in the next week, or the ones i've done anyway. Try and get them on the DLS as well, although I think the sizes are a little out i still like the look of them, even if that does sound big-headed :hehe:

With all the interest in screenshots of class 40s appearing recently, I thought I'd post a few also:

This is a joint venture between me and UK901Y, his great phototextures were an ideal base for this:



40047 at Haymarket Depot, Edinburgh



Easing out past the other locos on shed



Running light engine through Princes St Gardens



Attached to Peter Hick's excellent Mk2s at Edinburgh Waverley platform 1 (a nice match!)



Departing Waverley for Newcastle.
 
If I may offer a little advice geordieboy775, I'd steer away from laying everything down in straight lines and at ninety degrees, life ain't like that. It's also very rare to get completely flat land everywhere, even in Lincolnshire.
 
For overmars and his fog problem.

You need these settings and a white sky like himmel. The second pic shows that a blue sky doesn't work.

Nice gear tmzo6003

They both look great! I don't normally ask the following question, but I'll have to make an exception for these two 40's. Tony, when will they be available? the only problem I can forsee is choosing between which one to drive :D

Thanks for the comments mate (that's a compliment indeed coming from you)! A huge thanks to UK901Y for the phototextures also.

The big problem is going to be getting permission to circulate these, sdark has not been on the scene for some years now. I sent two e-mails, both of which bounced, but I've since sent another e-mail through this forum.

Glad you like them, I've toned all of the reskins in with the 24s and 25s so they can all be used together.
 
@tmz I checked your 24's and 25's next to the 31 I've been working on and they look similar enough to be useable together. Varying degrees of dust and sun fading can cause a large selection of colourings and tones to exist on locos that originally were painted with nearly the same mix of paint each time :). My main gripe with content recently is with the levels of specular being added to some custom and built in content.

Reskinning aside I'm now at the stage where my route has become ripe, where it's hard to get anything done on it, as most of the time is spent driving on it and 'testing' it :D. My only regret is making it modern image, as the TC3 steam effects are so good and driving so fun it's generally been steam specials running on it so far.
 
Don't worry about that Commie, I've made all of my TC3 layouts into modern and steam era, so I have 2 routes now for each sector, haven't finished enhancing all of them yet though, it's a big job with signalling, tree-planting, etc, but it keeps me out of mischief......:hehe: I could make your layout into 2 models, one for steam and one for diesel. If your route is as good as your reskinned locos, then it'll go down a treat with us all, I'm sure.

Cheerz. ex.
