I've no problem with buildings in Gmax and 3DS, but I've had to teach myself how to texture. Anyway here is the Charnwood Forest Railway Weighbridge that used to be at Loughborough, Derby Road, Station in North West Leicestershire , UK. This weighbridge is not a standard LNWR type. It was built by a contractor for the Charnwood Forest Railway Company. The CFR was operated by the London North Western Railway and closed to regular passenger traffic in 1931. Loughborough Derby Road closed completely in 1955 and was finally demolished in 1965. The only remaining buildings in existance now are the old goods shed and part of the old Webb Northlight Engine Shed. There are still some rails left in the sidings at the old Messengers Foundry which amazingly itself is still largely intact. The remainder of the Charnwood Forest Railay which ran to a junction near Coalville closed althogether in December 1963.
The model is probably too complex - however its only a small branch line railway so there won't be many buildings and I feel that the few that exist will be a focal point. I will of course do much simpler models for more distant none railway buildings. Many thanks to all those who have helped and given advice to help push me up my learning curve. Now I've completed a simple small model - I'll do the weighing platform itself to finish the model off , then I'll return to the more complex and difficult passenger buildings to complete them - Hopefully I can improve my texturing abilities with each model - no doubt I'll then need to work on the weighbridge again to improve it.
Cheers
