I hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd put up some screenshots of work along the Foxfield. If you see any accuracy faults, then please tell me, after all its only through peoples feedback that my route will improve.
These screenies are done with a NCB Austerity, that I beleive came with MidEast. It is a journey from Foxfield colliery, at one end of the line, through Dilhorne park, the current limit of public operations (although not for much longer), through the horseshoe bend at Blakeley Wood, and on to Caverswall Road, the other terminus. Then the screenshots show the train using the gala-only used section to Blythe Bridge (which still needs a lot of work)
I Hope you like them
Foxfield Colliery
Here the train is seen leaving the colliery platform, about to attack Foxfield Bank.
This shot shows the train barking up the gradient, near the limit of its haulage capacity, up the 1in19 gradient.
from roughly the same position as the previous pic, the engine is seen passing the upper yard.
The train is now seen passing the stub of the 1924 closed Bank Top line, which I seek to reproduce in another version of this route.
Dilhorne Park
The train is seen passing Dilhorne Park
The engine now stretchs its legs on the downhill section towards Blakeley Wood, on top of the hill in the foreground.
The engine now negotiates its way down the 1in33, around the sharp bends of this part of the line past Blakeley Wood.
This part of the route has had little work done on it yet. You can see Caverswall Road in the far Background. This part of the line is virtually level.
Caverswall Road
Here you can see the tracked, but building-less area of Caverswall Road. Thanks to Thames Clyde, I know have some superb square-on shots of most of the buildings. If a scenery builder would like to help me, please PM me. (the engine is now on the line to the exchange sidings)
Blythe Bridge
These two shots shw the very-uncompleted Blythe Bridge area.
I hope you like them. If you have any feelings, comments or anything else for that matter, please reply below.
