UK Screenshots (Hi Res Version)

All messages about my new route:

Right, Louise. Thanks for that, I didn't notice that with the platforms. And I think i'll replace that crossing with an iverhead one, otherwise Mrs Cotton and Mrs Blunt would get very hurt!:hehe:

WEN, did you mean the 6th Photo? Because if you did, the platform gap isn't actually that big, it's just the picture is taken at a slight angle. I will show it later on today.

And Kimmy, I am looking at that link right now!


Thanks for all the help!

Cheers,
Bernard

More progress, these pictures were taken south of Stratsted, apart from the first one...

The new walkover provides a much safer way to get over the lines.

After departing Stratsted, we arrive at the Broomhill Tunnel.

Coming out at the other end.

Looking over the boating lake

The train heads along the banks of the lake. As you can see in these pictures, the line is surrounded by much woodland.

Cheers,
Bernard

A J30 heads a local coal train south through Burdale station past the huge quarry with its' small engine shed. The real shed still (more or less) exists today after 54 years disuse.

Thanks for the comments Boobless_Ed, they really do mean alot to me.

Great shots everyone!

Some from Goonbarrow Junction, just half a mile south of Bugle. It isnt much of a junction at all now, and just goes to a china clay dryer located next to the Newquay branchline. However in days gone by there was a branch which went to various other China clay works around the area. A passing loop also exists here and is still used by passenger trains to pass each other.

A class 66 filled with china clay joins the Branchline, then it will head to Fowey Docks, where the China Clay is exported by sea.

A Crosscountry HST bound for Newquay awaits in the loop for the train occupying the northern section of the branch to pass.

The three sidings located parallel to the Branchline, the signal box can be seen in the background.

The Goonbarrow China Clay works, behind are the man made hills of China Clay spoil seen all over the China Clay district in Cornwall.

Well, It's very sad to see someone leave the forum, espcially if they've been on it for such a long time . Angelah, I really think your work is excellent, and if you do read this, come back please. I would love to see some of your work back on the forum.

Now, back to the subject of screenshots. I have been letting my creativity take control and I have come up with a new station called Lentock, and this is what it looks like...

A class 421 (or '4-CIG', they are from TempestTrainz) arrives on platform 4.

Nice shots there!
I googled TempestTrainz, and got nothing? Could I get a link to the site?
Thanks,
Mitch

You can also get there by clicking my signature banner on my posts. It's probably gonna take a few more hits to the site before google gets it! :hehe:

Actually, any line is split into 4 areas, where its needed. The Cess, which borders the line from the boundry fence to the nearest running rail. The 4ft is the space between 2 running rails, while the 6ft (which never is a constant 6ft, IIRC, for the Watercress :ine, some places are between 5ft 6in on straights and 8ft on curves IIRC.) is the bit between 2 parallel running lines. Finally, there is the 10ft, which is between 2 sets of 2 parallel running lines.

I am talking about the 6ft which is a lot wider than typically found, still, at least it means I am safer there than on national rail. (Note... NEVER seek refuge in the 6ft!)

Your spot on wessex, here is a diagram of what wessex means...

There is usually a slight hill on one side of the track with a valley on the other, which prevents subsidence and flooding, and helps drainage of water. The lower embankment is usually were you can access the tracks from a roadside, the hilly embankment is usually covered with bushy brambles, stick bushes and nettles to prevent tresspass.

The above is also a signal diagram, to show placement of signals on a two and four stretch track.

Hope this helps

Just to add to Airtime's post above, the Network Rail rulebook defines the "Railway Boundary Fence" as being a MINIMUM of TEN FEET from the nearest "running rail". Anything nearer than that is "Limited Clearance". My own experience of measuring OS maps shows that the fence is more usually 20+ feet away.

Here's a 4MT drifting down from Burdale Tunnel on its way to Bridlington on a summer special.

Great shots everyone!

CIG no. 1701 passes the signal box as it arrives at Catbridge as a 4EPB unit awaits departure time

Building like mad now...

Entering Cheffingham Station...

Good shots all!

I am highly impressed with the quality demonstrated in these screenshots.
