Question for paul502.......where did the Ribble Leyland PD3 Double Deckers in your screenshots come from?
UK Screenshots (Hi Res Version)
- Thread starter escafeld
- Start date
that route looks amazing
Agreed, that is most impressive Captain Scarlet

it is fantastic i must say
No, it's only a little layout, about 500 baseboards so far........:hehe:
If you want the original Sheffield layout, go to Capt. Scarlet's website here http://www.gregory-deryckere.co.uk/trainz/downloads.html
Greg started this route about 6 years ago, and has been adding to it ever since. He hopes to cover the area from Chesterfield to Sheffield to Rotherham to Doncaster across to Meadowhall and Grindleford in the West, possible even south down to Derby, so a HUGE area and he hasn't finished yet.....:hehe::hehe::hehe:
The original was built in UTC/TRS2004, so you guys using TRS2006SP1 & TS2009 may have quite a few asset errors in CMP, still, it's worth downloading just for the sheer enjoyment of Greg's hard work, and there's plenty of scope for consists of coal trains from Tinsley Yard to all the pits and power stations in the area.....And for those on TRS2006, there's a couple of Class 76's on the DLS you can utilise on the electrified section of the map.....
Have fun...
Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

Some really nice shots on here.
Here's a couple from me - WIP Stainmore.

Now that's looking good!
Meanwhile, I've just acquired one of Perchpole's Peaks so I thought I'd take her for a spin on the Bishop Auckland - Durham line...
D177 leaves Bishop Auckland heading north
North of Hunwick. I rather like this shot.
Passing Rough Lea Colliery
North of Rough Lea, heading for the portal which terminates this part of the route (and avoids me having to build Willington for now...).
I've done quite a bit on the Spennymoor line recently (Byers Green and Coundon) as well as adding Rough Lea Colliery (which you can see a hint of in the third picture) so I'll post some more pics shortly.

Thanks Ex-Railwayman for the vote of confidence and thanks to whittnall and 46035.it is fantastic i must say
I regularly put my route on my ftp, it's on the DLS yet as there are large chunks of grey still so I "back it up" on my webby for safekeeping where it is available to all. It's a few hundred baseboards actually, several thousand miles of track, 4 or 5 main lines. I'm mad enough to carry on landscaping several miles away from any lines if I like the area but there is grey in a few places. The latest additions is the landscape along the Midland Main Line between Dronfield and Chesterfield as well as Sheepbridge Iron Works and the branchlines to the mines near Barlow.
For now it is REMOVED I usually put a little remark at the end of my posts when I update the CDP. An update should be coming shortly, I've updated all the layout's tracks: bye bye AS49.
Whilst there is some grey, the layout stretches from Bentley, Doncaster to Horns Bridge, Chesterfield and Grindleford and from Wadsley Bridge to Darnall.
Very nice shots durhamlass and stovepipe, lovely moorland though not sure about the fluorescent trees.

That sounds absolutely huge - somehow I doubt my laptop will handle that one too well (but I might have to try anyway...).
I have to admit to trees being my weak point - I'm fully expecting to rip out most of the trees and replace them with better examples in due course.
That said, I'm starting to get the hang of the texturing now though and the JVC vegetation is a lifesaver. The most recent part of the route (Rough Lea - will post shots soon) definitely looks far better than my first go at scenery (Laterbrush, on the Weardale line) so I've got some rework to do there too.
If it helps both my Bishop Auckland and stovepipe's Stainmore route were built with DEM data so the hills came for "free".
At the risk of hijacking my own thread, try these: -
I doubt that there would be much need for any others apart from pine trees for UK layouts.
There has been a thread for trees, shrubs and grass on here for years, but some of the links need updating.

Is this route for TRS04

Admitedly I was refering to stovepipe's effort, as seen here http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/7406/screen047a.jpg these are Jankvis' aren't they?
I find that subtle tones, bland even and in keeping with the ground texture make them blend in their environment, change the height of some trees to make uneven tree lines. Don't forget to ALWAYS put a hedge, wall or fence along any track (ofc not if there isn't one irl). Telegraph poles (as you have done) are a bonus.
The layout is huge, it take more than an hour to take an all stopper from Donny to Chesterfield (not that such a service ever existed) then you have both the GCR and MR lines running parallel... Not blowing my own trumpet but it's a gudden
I bet it runs lovely now
My first glimpse of my layout running correctly was at the Trainz on the Road in York on ChileanLlama's computer... Built messen a new PC last Autumn and it runs great!To get the best backgrounds, I find that the best thing to do is simply build it! Just build a couple of miles of city on either side of a mainline and you can take horizontal screenshots for the kill.

I'll certainly take a look - thanks! Presumably there are a good selection of splines in there as well as groups and standalone trees? (I've used splines extensively on the BA route - it would just take far too long to position every tree individually!)
FWIW pines were pretty much confined to Hamsterley Forset in my area in the 1960s-70s, so I definitely need "any others".
No it wouldn't. In the Tips and Tricks forum I have suggested laying out a block of randomly spaced trees and copying and pasting them as and when. Put the trees on some area out of the way and name one of the trees 'TREE'. All you have to do then is go into the menu and do a search on TREE. Just make sure to bookmark the area you are working on to get back quickly,
You could also texture beneath the trees and copy the textures as well.
BTW, to delete an excess of trees, copy and paste blank squares of baseboard onto them.
Regards, Dave

Well I live and learn. Thanks for the tip - I will definitely give that a try sometime soon.
If you look at the aerial maps for the region (particularly north of Bishop Auckland) you'll see that a lot of the foliage follows field, road (Roman or otherwise!) or railway boundaries - hence the splines. Once you get into the detail for a given area (e.g. the Bishops Park just to the east of the town) that's a different matter, of course.
