Carrick Island - new project

Still on hold. Working on Highworth. Will get back to it when Highworth's done, although it may end up progressing at a slowish rate since I have plans to extend Highworth that I'm really burning to get on with.

Line history sent.

Aaaaargh! What am I going to do with all this bespoke rolling stock that's cluttering up the works. Especially as it's 2x Scale - thus no use to anyone else...

Anyone interested in freelance rolling stock?

Cheers

Mike

(That's what you get for dealing with the Western!)

SP, my UKNG Freelance coaches don't work because of missing textures or .wag's or something

Did you download the patch - you should have v1.1...

I still want the stock Mike, it's just that I'm having fun with HW again now. Actually as Carrick is a way to let my hair down perhaps I will finish it next...

A good thread, and well worth reviving!

(Thinks... I should complain more often.)

Where were we up to in the rolling stock generation cycle?

I think the last thing you sent me were the L&B style 4T opens. But to be brutally honest I am no fan of the blue and red ones, they are just too bright. Opens also need loaded versions in my view, so you can make sensible 2-part activities with them. I find an anonymous lump under a tarpaulin works wonders

You also sent me the lowloader with the plough load, but I am unsure if I need the plough s / sd / ace files as a freight anim or the plough is an integral part of the wagon?

Last night I laid the track for 3 more stations, although one of them is just a halt and siding jobbie, and another 2 miles of track. The whole of the north cliff coast line is laid to Perran Wharf now apart from 2 stations and if I can do the scenery justice it will make spectacular viewing as the main line overlooks a branchline that runs further down the cliff face, so you could look down 50m-75m or so onto an AI train chuffing along below you.

No problems - the coloured ones were actually quite early on in my learning curve - I'm sure I'll do better now. I'll arc them up...

ACtually I just deleted the frelance coaches from my computer

They were still missing files for some reason and it seems that a few other things have gone wierd too O_O
Like missing Dolgoch files (after downloading twice!) but everything is there...as well as other unexplained files!

(sorry about the off topic post)

Errmm....can you send me a pic of each car you don't have any use for sp762?
I think I might like to use them if they are what I need

*EDIT*
The pictures you posted didn't load before so I didn't see them :opps: Sorry ...err...can you just describe what stock you have made?

(I'm very busy so I haven't read most of the thread sorry if I'm overlooking things >_<)

A short progress report as I have gone a bit mental tonight and reached Treluswell in the far NW of the island. Unfortunately my levels proved to be a bit out and I reached the coast some 60m above sea level.

My surveyor has been told off, sacked and hurled into the nearest fijord with his boots tied around his neck...

So Treluswell now has a spectacular 1 in 40 approach and a hairpin bend on the heights above it. It looks super but it's hardly UKNG railway practice so I am treating this whole project a bit more light heartedly now, it's almost a sort of Ffestiniog meets SeaView 3.

Actually I think the whole lot could do with a texture revisit. They all need some kind of weathering I think. I have gotten very anti-clean trains in my old age. Lets discuss by e-mail to save cluttering the forum with chit chat.
