For the 1st time ever I started a modern Era route. Rail Fanning CSX/NS has triggered me to like this new fancy stuff..

Burnmouth Station

Well, It took me all day but I have finally completed Burnmouth Station (minus little details) I take this as good practise for a career in architecture...

Steve,

Hate to criticize, but textures aren't really considered 'minor' details.

Sawyer, Love that first shot.

Matt.
 
man i've trying to figure out how to set up my union station like that for years! how did you do it?

Dude, it would honestly take about an hour to explain...

...First, raise the sation building to the height you want then place roads around it. Next, you have to surround the perimetre with some sort of girder spline set to the height necessary. after this you need to put your selected fence/barrier just inside the girders. Now the tricky part. What you need to do is, using a spline with 'an underneath' (I used "goods platform 01") and place it under all the surfaces, including the road and station, set just below the hight of the road. Finally top it off with supports, cars, people, benches and any other details you can think of...

...I hope this makes sense :)

Cheers
Stevo

With Tim gone for the week, I had to tackle some reskins on my own... with no idea how Ben's textures worked... Fortunatfully they weren't as hard as I had expected and the result is a heavily dusty 4-8-2...

...all the details (names and no.s) were created by Tim apart from resizeing and the modified crest and I must say I am quite proud of the result :)
