Paulsw2 / evilcrow : The environment / lighting effects achieved by rumour3 in his Porchester route seem to give TANE a whole new level of quality. Everything is suddenly in HD. I tried simply to copy the settings across to other routes but with limited success. However by merging another route into Porchester and then deleting the latter leaves you with the new settings on your old route. I find the improvement dramatic - even mediocre assets suddenly look high quality.
WOW ..Ken.... those shots are stunning ! I will have to add this thread to my watch list now as I only visit 5-6 usually (USA, Canada, Steam, Gmax, freeware....rarely non-American stuff but I like much the funny movie ''Titfield Thunderbolt''. I like much the atmosphere in #977 and #988.
Cheers,

ECML NER Days Northumberland 1922
I tried the manual post-processing manual settings in T:ANE. Some tweaking required methinks. Pregrouping days. North Eastern Railway Worsdell P Class (later LNER J24) 0-6-0 takes the independent line on the ECML at Chevington in Northumberland.

Thank you for the compliments, gentlemen.
Mattt, when it's released I must try the PRR 2-10-0 on this route.
Rumour 3 has got the light settings on this route just right as can be seen by the excellent shot by Louvain post #996.

Ken... now really ( 2-10-0 ) , is there a layout it's not going to look good on . LOL . Nice shots . A question ? Is that a typical Engine power needed for a coal , gravel or ore ? Love the shots . Nice looking route too

re post #998 Railwoodman.
Hello Matt,
what you see is a ballast train on the 1 in 100 (1%) gradient on my extension (WIP) of "rumour3's" "Porchester and Bull's Well" route.
On the real railway in steam days, bankers (pushers) were employed between Exeter St David's and Exeter Central, a 1 in 37 (2.7%) gradient albeit over a short distance.
Ballast trains from Meldon Quarry would often require 2 bankers, heavy passenger trains would also need some assistance. Still open but a shadow of it's former self.

Fine work from rumour3 and evilcrow.
As for bankers..... they were more common than you might think and not just on fearsome spots like the Lickey or Exeter. Durham station on the ECML had bankers assigned right through until the end of passenger steam in the 1960s. The 1 in 100 grade from part way along the station platform on the Up line as far as Relly Mill junction was a sufficient obstacle to keep a daily banking turn allocated at Durham, even after Durham shed closed (the duty then falling to a loco from Sunderland shed). Class A8 4-6-2T were regular on the banking turn in the 50s and when they were withdrawn the turn was a regular haunt of Gresley's V1/V3 2-6-2T. The most famous NE region turn for me was the banking turn on the Consett branch between South Pelaw Junction and South Medomsley junction. Tyne Dock - Consett iron Ore trains, coal trains for the Coke works at Consett and Oil trains for the steel works. It was a Tyne Dock duty and one could find Q6 0-8-0, Q7 0-8-0, O1 2-8-0 or WD 2-8-0 locos allocated. The ruling gradient was around 1 in 50 but the approach to Beamish was 1 in 37. When NE Region were trialling diesel haulage they put a Type 2 diesel on the front of a train for Consett (not an iron ore turn because the loco did not have air pumps for the wagons) but the banking 2-8-0 slipped early and when the load fully came on the drawbar the type 2 Bo-Bo nearly blew up!

Darlington
NE Region Circa 1949. A1 Class 4-6-2 60115 Meg Merrilies passes Darlington with an express for London Kings Cross. WD 2-8-0 in the loop with a southbound train of coal hoppers. A4 Class stands with a train at Darlington, also bound for Kings Cross. Set the route to rumour3's environment settings from Portchester and it makes a real difference. I keep having a go at tweaking the manual post-processing as inspired by evilcrow. Not found a setting I am wholly satisfied with yet but I will keep trying.
