Atomic Systems

Hi all,
Today is a good day, I have just started creating assets for my own personal route for RS.


Click the image to zoom in


Nothing to do with RSDL, just me (and my track/signal/scenario guru Adam)
While it will only be about 25 miles long, every asset/texture will be new to RS and created by me.

I do have a fair amount of info on this route, however if anyone does have any images or plans then I'd be happy to take a look.

The time period will be between 1950 and 1980, however I may have to take some liberties here and there.

I look forward to knocking down Bishop Auckland's B&Q, Halfords and Morrisons and replacing it once agian with the fine railway station.

regards

Derek

Hi Derek

Thanks for that.

Will you be creating any new locos for this route?

Tazman

Sounds like an ambitious project.
Try not to tease us too much with pictures of fabulous assetts that we can't have.

Have you seen this (scroll down): http://www.lightmoor.co.uk/railway_archive_14.htm

Fantastic, a bespoke route of manageable length and nice scenery. The Wear Valley line is one i've always wanted to visit. Looking forward to it.

You probably already know about this site but if it's any help - http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stat ... ndex.shtml

Hi, Thanks for the links, I have those.

My main focus is the route, and the scenery, I will talk locos once I have made more progress.

btw...I fair warned derek about the 'concept' of vapourware....

Get off the forums and lay my track.

Derek

When it comes to modelling stations etc. Could you check the stations a night. Reason i ask i think that a couple of the stations on the IOW seem to need some extra lighting at night.

Cheers

Tazman

Excellent news Derek. I will look forward to this one.
Regards James.

Thanks.
Next weekend I am off up to photgraph the line/stations and bridges.

Hi Derek

Do you get Tyne Dock Ore trains on any part of your route?

Paul

hi,
I'm not sure what trains are going to run on the line yet.

Got to love Adam though, Track has now been laid.

Here is Bishop Auckland Station from around 1920
