That's quite an odd shot, it appears you've placed it on a route set in the wrong era for that engine to be in, what route is it? That's what I'm curious about..

It is wrong era for the 58, I was just thanking nexusdj for posting the kuids and showing him that I had downloaded it. This is Firsby and my attempt at creating Lincolnshire. So far I only have the track as far as Grimsby-Boston, Firsby-Skegness, Spilsby-Firsby and Horncastle-Woodhall JCN-Bellwater JCN. It's a big place.

That's such a cool terminal. I love how close it is to the water, and the track layout and curved shed is nice too. I hope you release this route, I really enjoy the pictures of it.

Penzance station and sea front area looking good but I have to say that I don't recall Penzance town being as built up as you portray, unless, of course, there has been new building recently. I last visited Penzance quite recently, only a few years ago.
Nevertheless, excellent work and I can't wait for the finished version.

Hi Rob, I have never been to Penzance, so I can only go on what I see on Google Earth.

Whistlers Heyday at Hett
A November morning on the East Coast Main Line during the early 1960s. At Hett level crossing between Ferryhill and Croxdale in County Durham the English Electric Type 4, later to become the Class 40 (nicknamed "Whistlers), are in their heyday. Two of Gateshead shed's Type 4s pass the level crossing to the small hamlet. Number D270 hauls a morning train from Newcastle to Bristol and has a motley collection of coaches in its trailing load, led by an ex-LNER Thompson BCK and BR Mk1 FK. Number D277 takes a York to Newcastle parcels train northwards in the down direction, with Maroon ex-LNER Gresley CCTs to diagram CU6 leading the consist. Further back but unseen are an ex-GWR Siphon G, an ex-SR GUV Luggage van and an ex-LNER Thompson BG. This consist inspired by a photograph I saw of an up parcels train of this era on the ECML near Stevenage which appeared to be quite a scratch combination of empties heading back south, since London tended to send out more loaded vehicles than it received. The CU6 lasted in service through to the early 1970s, with some examples getting corporate blue livery. This route is the County Durham section of the ECML built in to TS12 and rolled back to the steam era (which can suffice for the early 1960s too). It remains a work in progress.

It's the large eight storey blocks you have in your Penzance that look out of place, here's a view that gives a good idea of the buildings in Penzance town/harbour:

Hopefully, when I get the route, I will be able to change some of the buildings - if N3V's DRM allows me to, of course!
Fantastic route, I apologize for the seemingly nit-picking comment.

You're welcome.
Penzance isn't what one would consider to be a "big city" with "big city" type buildings. Penzance is more of a small town with low rise, mainly two storey older buildings with one or two newer five and six storey buildings here and there.
I will see if I can find some more links to pics of Penzance.

WIP of a route i am building, It shall be based in the area of Cambridgeshire and the Fens, going into Norfolk. Here we see the 1pm Cross Country service about to depart for Gatwick Airport.
Wildemoor, (very) loosely based off an area of the WCML near Grayrigg, Cumbria. I've still got a bit to do on this with regards to getting the texturing to look a little less tiled, but it's coming along great. Terrain was generated externally and imported as a displacement map.
Wildemoor pass.
To save sending four heavy coal trains a day over a very long and desolate single line section of track, someone had the (not very) bright idea of merging them into one train, forming what you see below. Four Class 60s try desperately to pull away after being stopped by a red signal before Wildemoor pass, carrying around 7,500 tonnes of Coal north to a string of four different power stations. The track gradient is 0.5%.
The region's coal is mined in the south-east and is taken north to supply four different power stations on the north coast.
