UK Screenshots (Hi Res Version)

[pfx]

That's a nice looking screenshot Paul with the townscape beyond the station. I've even been known to drive a blue livery DMU from the cab before now.

Hi Annie,

What are the telephone poles you're using in this screenshot please? I've downloaded a whole load of them and the best candidates visually so far, don't have any drop in the wires and don't look realistic,

Cheers,

They are <kuid:-25:749> Power Wire UK
I have to agree though, - wires modelled with realistic sag do look better, - it's just a pity that they are so rare in Trainz.

Thanks for that.

After the somewhat disheartening loss of Edinburgh to Glasgow, I decided to revisit an eso route I've always liked, Trecoll Bay. Initially I imported the original route but decided to start from scratch with HD terrain. This is very much a WIP image but my intention is to bring the route up to the late 80s with a mix of colour light and semaphore signalling, perhaps some track rationalisation and more track in some areas.

Great screenshot pfx, sorry to hear of your loss of Edinburgh-Glasgow. Is there no hope of recovery, even partial?

Three from me showing Corfe's new good shed. Sketchup haters look away now...

The concrete 'lean to' was built in the 50s (maybe 60s) and replaced an earlier wooden structure that had degraded to the point that it needed to be demolished. In truth, the platform level here should be virtually at track level but Corfe Castle has some odd topology and when I first created the route with 5m grid, I couldn't get a smooth finish. It may be worth reinvestigating in the future now that we have HD terrain but in the meantime I've made it a low relief lean to that acts as a store - hence the small cupboard like door!

Cheers,

PLP

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Edinburgh to Glasgow route pfx.

I know exactly what you went through.

I think i must have lost about 75% of my trainz builds over the years.

 

[pfx]

Ah well. I never wanted to finish it anyway.... Yeah right.

In the meantime, some further progress on Trecoll Bay, straight after which, I deleted a load of old sessions including the most recent. Idiot!

I bet those three ladies on the platform. Are a bit peeved, they all turned up in the same dress.
Was there a Peacocks sale locally ?

If we do not moan about payware, nothing will ever improve. The payware Class 43 looks too wide around the "beak".

Then on the other hand, we get the excellence of all the Australian payware DLC loco's.

I'm not sure what that has to do with the latest screenshots, have you got the right thread?

Cheers,

[IsambardKingdomBrunel]

Go back a few pages.

 

[PortLineParker]

Oh, those posts were from July so I thought you may have responded to this thread in error. I see which posts you're referring to now.

Cheers,

[IsambardKingdomBrunel]

No worries buddy, i am not totally brain dead......................yet.

A few from me showing Swanage's new track work - fully PBR, it adds a whole new level of realism and depth to the route. Currently a WIP by another user, it also includes some lovely clean to rusty transitions:

Cheers,

Before anyone gets too excited, it's a kit-bash rather than an entirely new track.

Hopefully I can get permission from the ballast's author to release a few reskins for some variety.

 

[PortLineParker]

They're beautiful tracks - some more showing the chair only version for use over ashpits and the third rail version on the mainline:

Cheers,

Great shot pfx, I always look forward to seeing your screenshots.

Some from me from perpetually sunny Swanage - "'cos summer always comes soonest in the South". First up, class 08 08436 (D3551) brings the coaches from the carriage siding into platform 2:

Then T9 30120 reverses from the engine shed onto the train ready for departure:

Right away! 30120 departs from Harmans Cross, Corfe Castle and Norden:

I hadn't used the T9 model in a while, but 2995valliant's new espec brings it to life. Unfortunately, the scripting no longer appears to be working so I can't select headcodes - when I click on '1962 rules' in the popup box a blank popup opens so I'm not sure what's gone on here.

Cheers,

PLP

Thanks PLP, I could say the same about yours; the Swanage shots are excellent.
