I think there are some suitable shed parts in X-tracks anyway.

Yup, so there is.

I didn't think it was a roundhouse though - the books have parallel shed roads.

Yip, but in the t.v series, the sheds that are used are these:

sorry it's a bit small, but that is basically what i am looking for, but for now i will have to make do with the one in xtracks until tidmouth sheds ( and turntabel ) is made

Fair enough.

The books are what I have nostalgia for though...

Another major problem. With the oure building, RE won't load up the route. In the actual train sim, the route loads up fine, but in RE, when it's loading up, it stops at the 'establishment and world placement' bla bla bla, then the good old send an eroor SEND/DON'T SEND e-mail to old Billy boy. Can you help?

Oh yeh, and if i keep getting problems like this, we are going to have to add one more attempt to the "sodor failures" section

Just found out where the problem originated. It was in the Knapford area, i don't know exactly what it was, but i seem to be having problems with Knapford all the time.............i will have to rebuild it for the 4th time lol

it seems the same problem is occuring in a lot of places in RE, but nothing is wrong in msts. Unless it can be solved, i am starting again..........tonight

this time keep backups. lots of them, because this is the kind of incident that you'll get on a regular basis and you'll never finish if you restart every time...

Can't help you because I've just gone back to my backup/ latest saved version when these things have happened...

Just to give you an update, the main line from just south of Knapford all the way to Crovan gate station has been laid, and most of Edward's Branch had been laid aswell.

Some bits and bobs have been scenerised aswell, but unless i have photographic reference of some places, they will just have to be quesswork

Hi Again.

I'm now concentrating a lot of my work on the ng track, and all is going well. If anybody here has seen the t.v series, where there is a lake, and the ng railway goes right through it, with a half ruined, medium sized grey castle in the background, we call this part the skarloey causeway. Anyway, does anybody know where i can download a castle like that?

Any update on the route?

I'm looking forward to taking a run on it as it was a major part of my childhood.
