diorama: 4 in 1

@ euromodeller : thankz ... your job is also superb ... and massive ...
@ blueodessey : with your reputation i'm surely honored with your proposal ... keeps me disneyoung ... and healthy ...
@ forester1 : the midline is a tunnel : the north loop is for the roadtrainz and south for the local distribution with small cars ... i think i will manage a narrow gauge there ..
@ heinrich505 : thankz for noticing the details ... it is just patchworking with the fine work of the outstanding creators ...
@ willem2 : thankz for the compliment ... and your amazing roadtrainz .. and all your other stuff ...

ps : ... in the meantime : trainzpotting m&m19 (main menu trs19) ... or : dioramazing the main menu ....

 
Looks to me that someone is having some fun here. One thing though. Those K&L engines aren't coming out on that 80' turntable..
 
@ fant_autentico : thankz javier ... muchoz graciaz ... like your stuff too ...
@ don49plm : thankz for seeing me having fun ... the k&l facade is just a publicity showcase : the products are leaving the productionhall, through a special designed cm-portal, to the customers .. very safe : no physical contact .. and the turntable is only used as a kind of bridge, connecting the "show-me-your-stuff" tracks ... thankz for one of my most favorite assets ... (see my next diorama)

diorama : crackit

the last one of my trilogy in coronatime :
... a cracked earth with exposed veins of life and puzzling railways from t to z ...
with historical highlights (the blackdiamondbranche and the mcguirelline) and some industrial buildings from east europea & russia (the iron curtain district) ...

in my previous dioramas i used the geographical coordinations of the place where i live now ; in this diorama i changed it into the latitude and longitude of my birthplace by editing the world origin (in edit environment / location) ... i got those data with the website https://www.gps-coordinaten.nl/ ... you can also try : https://www.mapsdirections.info/ (multiple languages) ...
as these gps coordinates are nearer the equator, the light is almost right above me and i don't have such a dark northern side as it is here in the netherlands ... and also the bright white assets are more contrasting and not just a white reflective surface ...
i want to change all my dioramas now in these more colorfull settings ...

diorama : table fable

last week creation :
... after "finishing" the trilogy-in-coronatime i realized that i had to inventory my purchases and downloads of the last six months ... instead of doing it in a datasheet i got the inspiration by telling a fable to my grankid (4) and seeing a pic of don49plm : his double trouble roundhouse blues ....

so, i imitated that proposal with his tbs 130' roundhouse kit (presented by thebackshop) ... i think he used an other version, when i compare the windows and the color of that roundhouse ... and i couldn't recognize that little building in the front, nor the backyard engine- or warehouse, so i used another one ...
as a puzzling shortliner addict, i added the 90 ft transfertable of bendorsey and an industrial shuntsection ...

at the same time i wanted to re-promote the great idea of oknotsen in 2015: his m120 module ...
i experimented with his idea (<kuid2:645812:12005:2>) and my basic concept ( = 4 dioramas on 1 board)
... now i have a new template with connections in the north and south to other boards in my conditions (environment settings and effect layers) ...

the fable : the cricket and the ant ...
grasshopper (not david carradine) has spent the summer singing while the ant worked hard to store up food for winter .. when that season arrives, the grasshopper finds itself dying of hunger and begs the ant for food ... however, the ant rebukes its idleness and tells it to dance the winter away now .... (wikipedia)
translated : i cricketycrack in the fall of my life : hardrockin' and quicheatin' ...
moral : in fables is no judgment made ... so, put on your red shoes and dance the blues ... (david bowie)

the inventory :
double roundhouse : left showroom is filled with procured steamers from different suppliers in the 1st 5 months of 2020 and the right showroom is completely claimed by all the k&ltrainztuff ...
transfertable : setup with all my slugs and railcarmovers, some crap, a junkyard and collected diesels in the past months ...

overview :
- south : double roundhouse as a showroom ... and a transfer table as a puzzle game
- east : yard for assembling consists
- north : industrial yard
- west : my humble retreat spot ... to contemplate wrinkles on my mind

Hello my friend,

Looks like your at it again, :hehe:

I'm looking at the rather unfix able dilapidated tracks in #110, well done master. Never disappointed, in fact, I have to spend extra time trying to figure out how do what you do......

Thanks for sharing with us........
 
... thankz gentz for the complimentz ... is much appreciated ...
@ fant_autentico : you're welcome .. like your assets too ..
@ john2002 : this diorama has a lot of payware, so not suitable to release ... you can easily make a showcase that complety fits to your own stuff ..
@ euromodeller : like your own creations ..
@ don49plm : yes, i'm always smilin' and havin' fun with your assets and screenshots ..
@ blueodessey : that piece is a snip from jointedrailz' coalcountry .. it's managing with trackheights and trackpieces .. it's not so difficult to imitate, but a lot of work and all the credits has to go to scratchy ..
... try-out in another diorama of me some time ago :

Just brilliant :)

If only we could have more seasonal locos and rolling stock, but we can only work with what we have, and you have done a fantastic job again!
