Again, looking good Andrew - is that a new station? I don't recall seeing it in the default objects...

Yes, it's not a default object. But I am not sure where it came from, which presents a bit of a problem!
I think it part of the Southwold scenery? WW_Station.s? Does any one recognise it?

I do - you're right, it is Walberswick from the Southwold. I know, I made it, and I give you permission to use it as freeware

It is strange to see the odd Southwold structure appear in other routes before the Southwold itself has been released. Well, I guess we just will have to wait a bit longer...

(pitley.... how about a new CD?)

Andrew - just a small point of realism: telephone poles always go inside the boundary fence as they carry railway telephone lines and not BT lines.

I had originally put the telegraph poles inside the fences but the guys seemed to prefer them on the outside!

They were wrong to prefer them outside.

Just think for a moment: What are the poles doing? Carrying railway phone lines. Ergo they must stand on railway property, not in a farmers field next to the line where repair access will have to be negotiated and cows etc can damage them.

Your problem is I see from some screenshots that your boundary fence is too close to the ballast so the trains will touch the poles. THis will involve moving the fences outboard on both sides.

Better option is to remove the poles altogether - some small NG railways don't have them after all

How do you change texture's? So you have 2 texture's merging?

Cheer's,

I can give you no better advice than to open the â€œhelpâ€

Yes, those stub points are lovely aren't they - oh, for someone to replace the default points with track pieces the same but with point levers in the right place and of a more accurate style...

Wherever there is a blue pole you can place a track section.

That is to do with track this screeni was taken in RE!

Yes, use curves and straight sections to make the rest of the point.
Try the new 60d sections I made, they are in XTracks also.

Have done little work of late, but hereâ€™s a different shot of the little work I have done.
Battery loco No4 is a little way from the quarries and unable to use either of the fuels on supply at Bridgetown narrow gauge station? The station up high is the standard gauge mainline with the Piddington Railway Workshops away in the distance at the end of the viaduct.

That water tank is quite cute Andrew, is it one of your own models?
