The decal was probably made in Photoshop from an historic map scan, then lined up and scaled by eye to the tracks and markers which were already in place. Sorry I can't be more specific, as...

Don't forget to copy the route file to dropbox so I can keep up!

Great stuff! That is definitely a point to put in the notebook, how on earth would you be able to figure that out yourself :-? After hours and hours of frustration and trying to do it how the manuals said it should be done, looking at the actual blueprints for the default Kuju steam locos: that's h...

Those coaches are rather nice, what are they?

Kind regards James.

The other Bacup branch: from Bury to Bacup via Ramsbottom is now up on Nick Catford's wonderful Disused Stations website.

A lot of photos I've not seen before. Lovely.

Peter

John, have you disabled shadows in Railworks? They all have shadow meshes enabled. If so, I'll need to re-send you the assets.
