Darlo - WIP

Got a good man at DTG making a station for the route.. Looking fab!

Peircebridge Station

Peircebridge Signal box

Still a few details to add, but a nice scene.

Piercebridge Progress

Now to spend some time on the main buildings next.

South Church

This model and it's textures took around 10 hours, the most interesting thing about them was I made them on the train to Chatham and back! I have a 50 minute section of the journey which allows me to get the lap top out and do some extreme modelling!

The Church is not really that close to the track but I had to make it. I will use the texture to make a few generic churches for the rest of the route.

I have copied over the 101 and the class 37 which will be 2 of the included bits of rolling stock. There will be a few more surprises too, (more on those later) but seeing as I made these for this route many moons ago they just had to go in. (maybe a shunter too... ;) )

Next up I am focusing on Piercebridge Station, I will be looking to make each station bespoke but with 40 on the route that will be a challenge!

more soon.

lovely summer

Getting all the textures back in and removing all the unwanted models has been a time consuming task, however I am almost through the scenery items.

I also looked to re model a few trees when I was on going, I think it looks slightly better than the one I made a few years ago.

CoOp

I made a selection of textures and am now making most of the shops and commercial buildings,

Here is the CoOp, I have now made about 40-50 other buildings that uses these textures.

LNER K4

Went back to my K4 last night after a drive around my network, I wondered what state I left it in, had a few offers of help on it so may take them up on it.
Paul G had got me a bunch of images awhile back so I feel I have enough ref.

Just read about a route close to the one I am doing:

'Ever see the light of day..' how very dare you! :)

However, fair comment.

Good luck with your route fella!

View down Escomb road towards Station

RAFA

And the RAFA where many of us Siddles drank.

Bless you Grandad and Uncle Bill!

Bistro

An even more simple building, just top flesh out Cockton Hill road.

Green Tree

I have been busy over the past few weeks making a number of BA buildings.

Here is a nice and simple model of the Green Tree Pub on Cockton Hill Road.

More to follow.

Still here...

Sorry guys, I have meant to keep folks up to date with progress.

Will see if I can put up a number of images tonight.
