UK Screenshots (Hi Res Version)

Paul (Paulsw2),

I think you should strongly consider posting one of the winter scenes in your posting (#13911) yesterday to the "Screenshot of the Week: 12/28/2012 to 1/5/2013" competition. This week's theme is " Winter shots". My favourite would be the last one (the yard).

I would really like to see more British and Irish screenshots and voters on Screenshot of the Week (especially British and Irish Steam) as it is really quite US diesel oriented at present.

Peter.

Peter, thanks for the tip, I hadn't noticed that thread. I'd better get over there immediately!

Having successfully ruined Rumour3's excellent Class 66,:hehe: I present you with my first ever reskin:). Scania Rail's 66301 and 66302 are ex-Fastline locos. Basically, they're going to buy up a bunch of ex Fastline and Advenza stock, and run freight services. They already have a highly successful road division, and have major terminals at Dover, Teeford, Manchester, Cardiff and Edinburgh. They're also in a partnership with Colas.


66301 gets their first ever haul, 8H22 Teeford Yard to Bardon aggregate train, moving out of Teeford Victoria.


66302 is the other loco.

I am really pleased at how it came out.
 
Hi Lewisner,
Love the shot, very atmospheric.
I agree about the speedtreez, horrible and very annoying when you have to stop and change the rotten things all over the route back to what you wanted.
TC3 collapsed on me. I cannot work out why, one day it worked fine the next it refused to even start. I had done nothing to my PC other than work in Trainz and Gmax so why this happened is beyaond me. Nothing I tried fixed it and it refuses to reinstall. I have it on my laptop and that works fine so any assets I make have to be moved over to that for trials.
2012 does not have Compatability Mode so all trees will be changed anyway so I won't be using that, the olny reason I might buy it is to maintain DS access, nothing else.
Like you I still use 2004 and love it. I can run all my old favourite locos/coaches/wagons and everything stay just as I put in on the baseboards. Okay, I might be losing some new bells and whistles but many I wouldn't want anyway (like Speedtreez for instance) and if the worst comes to the worst I have 2010 and that runs fine and all my static assets work in it which is a bonus, only splines need changing.
All these 'changes' are all very well but at my age I don't particularly like them mainly because they cause me a lot of problems with configs as they have to be 'updated' to match.
So the upshot is that any new assets will go to the TPR site as 2004 content, I really can do without the extra work needed to get them onto the DS now, as the last lot of houses did, so the message is for 2004 fans, go look if you want any. All my stuff goes into the UK Section that the TPR kindly set up and there you will find all kinds of things including rolling stock and lineside bits and bobs.

It's fine about Gmax but the offer remains open. I already have some tutes made up that are step-by-step for simple things that will get you started.

A couple from me,

Kings assets in place, well only part of them in this shot,

And Silver Street, Bruton lookingb towards Kings School which is a long way along the road. This was taken beside ST Mary's church.

The Hymek is a poor excuse for a UK screenshot, sorry about that... ha ha. Plainly miles more work to do yet.

Blessings,

Angela
 
After thinking more about the TC3 thing, I think I will give up trying to revive my version of the route and delete it from my PC - while it is there it is like an aching tooth nagging at me.

Nice shots PerRock! Just thought it worth mentioning that in the York shot there is an accurate model of the signal gantry on the right available on the DLS KUID2:174088:38001:2 plus the signal bracket I use in my Millfield shots (ex TC3 Settle & Carlisle) is a reasonable match for the one in front of the HST. Heres a couple of my shots of the real signals before they disappeared in 1989.

lewisner,

It's your decision of course, but I plead with you not to delete this beautiful route from your PC (neither original, nor updated versions).

If it's too much of a burden for you, send it to someone else to work on (I volunteer) and possibly upload at a later date giving full credit to you for the original, of course.

You can send me an email by going to

Hi Peter, I don't mean my Sunderland Route, I mean the modified version of the Settle & Carlisle I did. I have struggled with but it seems to be beyond my mortal abilities.
