There's still a long way to go yet! I've moved up to the next km strip in Fleetwood and made a start on that this afternoon.

NB: The tram stop signs are from my MSTS route and the shading doesn't quite work in RW, so are there as placeholders until I get round to replacing with a more realistic texture and work out what material property I need to give it in 3DC!

Very nice work

Personally not a massive fan of Trams, but the Blackpool's tramways have always intrested me.

Thanks for everyone interest and kind words! It's good to see lots of interest!

Update:

Few things wrong atm...

Livery and texture work
Bulk eye coupler (Was just there as an example)
Interior needs work
Seats facing wrong way

Cheers,
Mike

Oh yes, many a happy tale from a Pantoghraph falling off a Railcoach
whilst decending down past Anchorsholme Park to towing the carriage
of the Western train with the Trawler to Tram Sunday in an appeal to
raise funds for the restoration of the train, which has now expertly
been achieved.

Cheers,

Steve.

I've just seen a picture in the 'Prograss Twin car' book of a Railcoach in the poppy livery towing the Western Train..Wouldn't be you driving by any chance?

Hehe!

Thanks for all your kind comments!

Cheers,
Mike
