Great shots everyone. Marky 7890- your Cornwall route is looking fantastic! I haven't posted on here for a while but here's a view of my related 2010 WIP that might be recognisable (to Marky 7890, anyway )....

Cheers

wow rumour that is better than all my routes added into one i beture get back into training see you later (wish i could make hills like that )

 

[Bernard430]

Rumour-what more can I say? Your fabulous class 66 on a fabulous route. How do you get hills like that?

Anyway, here are some more screenshots of my London Malvern Street route. I don't hink I've mentioned it, but it is fictional and so is Meridian Trains.

Hurlock Road Station:

I believe Rumour3 has used DEM for the hills, which is what I use.

whats dem

 

[marky7890]

It stands for Digital Elevation model, DEM data can be found freely on the net and imported into Trainz using special software, this can then be used for a Trainz layout. Its give a fairly accurate shape of what the terrain is in real life, so it saves making the hills, especially in a hilly place like Cornwall. However embankments and cuttings still have to be made.

Here is the ftp url for the Eurasia DEM files:
http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM3/Eurasia/

Here is a UK map I made a couple of years ago showing what file is needed for what part of the UK:

I use a payware program called Transdem to import the DEM into Trainz.

Microdem and HOG should do the trick.

And heres a tutorial on how to use them

Hi

A small collection from moi:

First from an old fictional route, one of my first attempts at a large scale route-it failed though to be any good in my opinion. I now just use it for testing trains.

And a few from my London Malvern Street route.

Leaving Hackney South

On-board as we head through southern Hackney.

Arriving at Hurlock Road

The 253 bus waits for people from the recently arrived train to board, before is goes to Aldgate.

Cheers,
Bernard

[Bernard430]
