UK Screenshots (Hi Res Version)

Captain Scarlet's Sheffield layout's getting some well publicised shots this weekend, and quite rightly so as well, 31413 and 40129 today's star performers.....
I've just added a few trees Greg, alright me duck......:D

Cheerz. ex.















 
Most excellent shots fellas, what shed did you use there? A nice 6 door one I see, not Ish6?

It's Finsbury Park depot, on the DLS created by Greeni and myself for the Deltic Preservation Society London route.

The eastern region sheds were of an identical design, FP and TI are exactly the same width. Two FP sheds back to back are a couple of metres short of the exact length of TI.

Ben Dorsey has just built Tinsley depot, it is on the DLS also. Unfortunately it used digholes for the pits and cannot be rotated in position on your route or the digholes stick out the sides. I have mentioned this to Ben and asked him to release one without the digholes and attached track, and darken the windows. I'll let you know if he is willing to do this.

Thanks for a great route!

Gosh is that still going on? It's been going slow for something like four years...

I'll have to check the length and how it fits on the layout. It ought to since you got it there.

Hopefully Ben can oblige, great shame for the dighole. Can't even fit it on the one layout that has that precise shed on it ;) go figure, I'll have tests to run to see which ones matches best.

You're welcome, still working on it, slowly but surely.
 
@Captain Scarlett- I thought you'd be interested in these two views of the inside of the completed Finsbury Park depot:





Although the building on the DLS does not have any internal fittings, all of these are available separately on the DLS and I fitted the entire building out internally. Tinsley depot had a separating wall running along the middle and was effectively two depots, so the FP buildings are ideal.

The platforms were developed especially for this building by Greeni and myself, you can find them on the DLS under my username, named depot platform range. I used a class 40 to check for clearance, in reality this was very tight in the depot but with a bit of careful placing the fit is perfect.
The fluorescent lights are called light spline, these are fitted under the edge of the platforms as well as at roof level also.
The depot clock is optional, this one works and is by Saxham_Market.
Concrete slab 10m and 25m are fitted side by side to form the depot floor, one of these needs lowered by 0.01m to avoid texture flashing.
The pits are ash pit spline on the DLS, although they do not have a depth below ground level, the clever texturing makes them look as if they have!

HTH
 
It's still Scarlet with one t, I'm not going with the wind; yet.
I downloaded FP last night though worked on Sheepbridge and Brimington all day so not been playing with TI, will do that soon.
 
Brimington%20wip.jpg

WIP: Here is Brimington. On the left is the Chesterfield Canal, then the GCR Derbyshire Lines, then the River Rother, the Midland Mainline Old Road with the branch to Sheepbridge. The stand in the far left is of Ryecroft Farm former greyhound track which lasted until 1948 but still stands today. The agglomeration in the far right is Whittington Moor.
Sheepbridge and Brimington (GCR) station is in the centre of the screen with the cottage, cattle docks and (drive in) goods warehouse.

Not a cheaply rebranded DMU in sight.
 
Hint: Sprinters have them after 1991, they are yellow, but they get dirty quickly!

Ah right- the snowploughs- I thought something looked different in that area as I mentioned, but it looked flat on your screenie due to the single coloured texturing. That explains it. Hopefully this is an attachment that can be added/removed in the config?

Actually, I intend to remove it from release, unless you want me to be totally flexible and add meshes to replace meshes that aren't necessarily there.

I did try the sprinter bogies, but the wheel diamater maybe smaller and the frame lower (the car body would probably be 10cm higher in reality!), so wouldn't be possible.
 
@ WEN any chance you could stop being obsessed with SWT livery and paint your models in the livery they actually carried so we can truly get a feel for it ;)

That's our job after he's released it!

Trust me- this one is very good- but then all of his meshes are...:)

Where's all the screenies gone?
