sorry to be a pain clam but any winter progress on the route an associated rolling stock?
OK ....... Progress report
Done quite a lot really, got Pont Croesor bridge done, plus the one at Ddault, Ddault Station masters house, Rhiw Goch signal box, various walls, embankments, cuttings, high res grass textures, the rest of the WHR crossings and bridges excluding the two at Caernarfon which have temporary ones, added ATLS for the crossings at Britannia Bridge, Snowdon Street and Pont Croesor. Built Snowdon Mill, most of the sheds for the WH Heritage railway at Gelerts farm, Some cottages and house, Roads and dirt tracks that don't float! River and stream splines. Plus been experimenting with small 3d trees and bushes, OK here but may be a bit high poly for lower spec PC's
Still got a heck of a lot to do though, filling in the gaps, I'm up to around 600 items I've made for this so far..............
Still having problems with the Valve gear for Lyd and family though, been working on it all day actually and getting nowhere. lol.
Might stick some screenshots up in a bit, if I can tear myself away from this infernal valve gear.
Will do 
.
Finally I've got the Lyd bogey to work properly, simple problem really, reinstall Gmax.............
Now just tidying Lyd up, have to close a couple of gaps and adjust some textures a bit.
Also made some bogey's for Kevmt's coaches to resolve the made for low track problem.

Well the WHR has open throughout hows the virtual WHR/FR progressing?
Time for another progress report I guess!
Working on the Area between Betws Garmon and Salem at present, had to knock up some bridges and a spillway.
Yet more track variations, needed some deep fill ballasted track to fit with the spillway, made some WHR style level and occupational crossings.
Adjusted the gradients on the WHR part to fit more or less with the Welsh Highland Gradient profile, this is when you find out just how inaccurate in some places DEM's can be! For those who don't know there are a lot of 1 in 40 stretches on the Welsh Highland.
Also in the process of creating various bridges to replace the temporary ones I originally used.
Need to knock up an authentic Station and old goods shed for Dinas rest of the "Landmark" Dinas buildings are done including the Vauxhall Garage and Camping shop, Google Street view came in very handy there.
At the other end I need to produce correct station buildings for Tan-y-Bwlch.
And over all still a lot of trees and stuff to plant.
I'll try and post a few screen shots in a bit.
Yes all of the rolling stock should be available once I'm happy with it all........
Couple of Screen shots of my attempts at some Welsh Highland type coaches apart from the lengths most of it is guess work based on pictures. bogey's need dirtying up a bit though.

Just fixed the errors, mainly removing redundant tags one being if I remember correctly contact- and a couple of rogue texture.txt files that didn't need to be there if there isn't a texture just delete it.
The NG16's are rather prone to crashing though. Seems 2010 and TS12 don't like the way they are set up as three locos, chucks out loads of errors in jetlog.txt about missing animations for dummy bogey for the body....... which obviously doesn't have any as it's a dummy, working on that to see if I can find a way round the problem.
I've made some replacement bogies for Kevins low track items, coaches and wagons to bring them up to the same track level as all the others then I found out you can use the position tag and the main mesh or the bogeys to raise it. So I used that on the Loco's.
on the Beyer garrats bogeys, just put it in the mesh table. it's round about the same for the low track Englands and the Fairlies came out at 0,0,0.05
2090 I'm not sure what's happened to that as its no longer being used and 2020 was converted to service car 2011 so no longer exists. Just got to add the logos to the ones that haven't got them yet.
