Ravenglass and Eskdale............

[davidaward]

Some of you may or may not be aware of the Ravenglass and Eskdale project that I have been working on, so here are a few pictures now we have some work to show............

We join Shelagh of Eskdale in the headshunt at Ravenglass. Stock is by Tim Elsby for the route.



And we pull forwards into the station



We set out past the shed



Running across Barrow Marsh



And through Muncaster Mill



Entering Miteside Loop.



Anyone want any more with different locos???

[davidaward]

A couple more...........

We join River Mite heading southbound with a mixed 8 coach set at Irton Road;



Pulling out of the station

Accelerating along Irton Straight



Cresting Walk Mill Summit



Rounding Rock Point



Gliding down through Horsefalls Wood



Murthwaite Summit by the Oak



Where Murthwaite Crushing Plant will be



Wet Cutting



And halted in Miteside Loop

[davidaward]

Just to show that I am still working on this project..........

Work has been slower of late as I've been learning a few 3d modeling skills in Google earth, and as a result I've built all the platforms!

Ok Here we go- and its looking more familiar now..............



Ravenglass



Muncaster



Irton Rd



The Green



Beckfoot



Dalegarth

I'm going to start on station buildings next..............

[clay001]

That's superb work, well done to both of you .

[davidaward]

A Quick update on Dalegarth.................



Lots more detailing and the lower floor to add, but I'm getting the hang of modelling buildings now.

[jefran]

Nice to see another route on the way. Is this x2 DEM?

[davidaward]

No it took me a lot of work to shape them manually though! Thanks

A couple more pics of WIP around Dalegarth

[mpeffers]

Looking good although I'd take out the platform markers for now. Things like platform/siding markers, signals and car spawners have a habit of going wrong so are best left until the end. Ontop of that, all of them (bar the car spawners?) will be lost if you have to rebuild the track database.

[davidaward]

Track is final layout- so the markers will be unaffected. Signalling ain't been installed yet, but that's minimal on the ratty anyway as above Ravenglass its all Radio signalling. For this I'll have invisible signals at the end of each loop!

Working on the Whillan Beck Bridge now at Dalegarth, its coming together well now...........

Cheers Kevin- I'm getting used to the 3d modeling in google sketch up now it really is a very easy programme to use

More scenery around Dalegarth to do now!

[davidaward]

Another 2 shots for you



Rock stands at Dalegarth with the village behind



And draws its train past the row of cottages I just need to recolour the window and door frames and that buildings another off the list!

Be careful, it gets very addictive
