Description This picture marks the new beginning of my Island of Sodor layout for trainz. I'm making it as map accurate as possible doing almost none of the scenery until the rails are laid. The bare basics of the Ffarquhar branch are laid... and it's HUGE. Don't worry, still have the one I'm currently using for episodes.Β Doing this for when Trainz A New Era comes out. Will hopefully have a desktop when I get it so it will run more smoothly than 2012 on my laptop. I have a map of sodor... but I wish I had a land and seaΒ level reference for each of the stations so I knew how high to place them, really want this one to be spectacular.
(just noticed looking at the map, the Skarloey Railway is a fair bit longer than Thomas's & Edward's branch lines)

Hm, interesting. I do something different. I paint ballast before laying down the tracks.

Ffarquhar does look like its coming along nicely though.

you made really good rod styles but now the look cheesy, why's that? Just asking

That's how quite a large amount of loco rods are made

You could try and make 3D coal for the bunker

So? If you look at the actual prototype, his current model is accurate to the prototype. Before it wasn't.

I'll be honest I don't really see much of a difference.
